Character Descriptions
Main characters
Lelouch Lamperouge: the main protagonist of Code Geass. Originally named Lelouch vi Britannia, he was the 11th Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire and 17th in line for the throne; up until his mother Marienne vi Britannia’s untimely death. Blaming his father Emperor Charles zi Britannia for her death, Lelouch forsook his birthright and name. As a result, the Emperor sent him and his sister, Nunally, to Japan as political bargaining tools. Since then, he has fostered an immense hatred for the Britannian Empire and has sworn to completely destroy it.
Suzaku Kururugi: A childhood friend of Lelouch and son of the late Prime Minister Genbu Kurugi. As war waged between Japan and Britannia, Suzaku saw the strife and turmoil of the nation, and in an effort to save the lives of millions of people, he murdered his own father to stop the fighting. Suzaku is a staunch believer in reformism, and that getting results through ‘wrong’ or illegal methods is useless. In an effort to change society, he attempts to climb the ranks of the Britannian military so that he may right the wrongs of his past and hypocritically justify murdering his own father.
C.C. : A mysterious immortal witch, going by the name of C.C. (pronounced as “C2”). She bestows the mystic power of Geass on Lelouch in the form of a contract: that in return for power, he must grant her only wish, later on revealed to be death. Having lived through many centuries, she wisely councils Lelouch in difficult times, and remains by his side as to one day ensure his fulfillment of the contract.
Kallen Kouzuki: A half-Britannian, half-Japanese girl. She comes from a prestigious Britannian family with a low born Japanese mother. She grew up taking the name Stadtfeld, but eventually choosing the name Kouzuki (her mother’s maiden name) as she secretly joined a small group of Japanese revolutionaries. This decision was fueled by the death of her older brother.
