Sir Achan the Lionheart: The Babelian Dynasty's greatest knight, both stoic and revered, bringing a commanding presence and weight of a legend to the rooms he steps in, yet secretly flawed and chained by doubt, desire, and inner conflict.
Sir Jonah: Achan’s younger, warm, and lively brother. A knight by duty but a poet at heart; passionate, humorous, and reluctant in the war. Dramatic in voice and movement. A dreamer in armor, he wears his emotions openly, often the play’s lighter note, a contrast to his brother.
King Solomon: An aging and ailing sovereign, but dignified nonetheless. Once a great warrior of Babel, now leading through the gravity of wisdom and memory. Shows authority even in sickness; slow in body, strong in voice
Queen Seraphina: Solomon’s devoted wife, the quiet pillar of the realm. She tends to her husband and steadies her people with calm resolve. Gentle, patient, and compassionate. Where Solomon offers wisdom in war, she offers guidance in emotion.
Princess Selene: Faithful wife of Sir Achan and the daughter of Solomon and Seraphina. Once dreamed only of home, children, and simple joys, but now haunted by insecurity and infertility. She begins to sense that her husband’s soul drifts further from her, but she still yearns for it not to be true.
King Maximus: Young and arrogant ruler of the Farsian Empire. Son of King Minos, who was slain by Achan, marking his reign with vengeance. Calculating, malicious, and reckless, Maximus wages war not just for conquest but for pride and revenge.
Queen Lilith: A serpent cloaked in silk. Married to Maximus for power; thrives on manipulation, playing helpless while pulling unseen strings. Cunning, ambitious, wielding guile and seduction as weapons.
Sir Bahram: Commanding Knight of Farsi. Fierce, disciplined, and feared, yet tormented by the shadow of Achan. Watched his king fall to the Lionheart and lives now with a single burning purpose: destroying the man whom he could never defeat.
