=The Shadow Actors of the Court= ==QUEEN: Lady Antonia of Blackwater, Necromagus Adept== Coming as she does from a realm of knights, dragons, wizards and medieval war, Antonia felt a degree of culture shock when she arrived in Britannia's Colony, and was confronted with guns and other Britannic technologies. The King was surprised when she presented herself as his wife to be, but was persuadable to the idea, thanks to a mix of Antonia's feminine charms and the hand of fate. Nonetheless, Antonia still finds it amusing that none in this Kingdom save her seems to accept the reality of the situation - that they are players in the ''Game of Succession'' and that this so called colony is in fact the total of the White King's domain at this time. She has resigned herself to the idea that it doesn't matter, and that she can worry about educating the King ''after'' he has won the game. As a potent necromagus, she has earned both the fear and respect of the locals, none of whom had encountered magic before. Though she can raise armies of the dead, the King has as yet proven too uncomfortable with this idea to let her do so, though he suspects he will change his mind when he realises that his enemy has magic, and is not afraid to use it. Once the Game is done, she sees herself refashioning Britannia into a new image - a kingdom where undead musketmen unflinchingly hold the line against enemies, and where a thousand souls will be sacrificed to her beauty every day... * '''Suggested Boons:''' None; * '''Suggested Drawbacks:''' None; * '''Suggested Traits:''' Magical Style: Necromancy; <br> ==KNIGHT: Anspeçada Abrahan Resendes, the Executioner== Abrahan is on attachment from the Portugese army. Though he holds rank, he prefers to work in the command of small groups of men, and is at his most deadly when he eschews guns in favour of knives. Few have his mastery of stealth and ambush, and for all the King's dislike of him he is a potent tool. * '''Suggested Boons:''' Guerilla Leader; * '''Suggested Drawbacks:''' Uncomfortable in command; * '''Suggested Traits:''' None; <br> ==BISHOP: Brevet-Colonel John Waterhouse, Intelligence== Waterhouse might be in the Army, but he's never been a soldier. In fact, he'd be hardpressed to reload a musket inside of a minute. Luckily, this dapper 30-something gentleman has an impressive mind to make up for this, and a natural talent for intelligence work and psychological warfare. * '''Suggested Boons:''' Master Spy; * '''Suggested Drawbacks:''' Helpless; * '''Suggested Traits:''' None; <br> ==ROOK: Sir Thomas Keelerson, East Colonial Trading Company== Keelerson is in the war for profit, as he will often remind his fellow officers. He is happy to place himself and his resources at the King's disposal, but he expects adequate compensation. A fat and ugly man, he is not beloved of the soldiers under his command, but he knows about the economics of war, and would rather lose the lives of men he commands than the supplies they guard. * '''Suggested Boons:''' Keeper; * '''Suggested Drawbacks:''' Fuelled; * '''Suggested Traits:''' None; <br>
