Britannia Empire

A royal kingdom and international superpower, which possesses about one-third of the entire world. Based in The Americas, territories under Britannian rule include Area 11, Greenland, New Zealand, Philippines, islands from the Pacific Ocean and a Middle Eastern-like country, recently conquered and renamed as Area 18, but does not have British isles as they lost it to E.U. during thr 1800s. The Britannia c.ig features a lion and a snake intertwined, and they represent "king" and "death and rebirth" respectively.


Imperial family
Several members of the Britannian military (L-R) including: (Unnamed), Darlton, Guilford, Cornelia, Euphemia, Suzaku, Lloyd, Cecil, Jeremiah, Villetta and Kewell.
Several members of the Britannian military (L-R) including: (Unnamed), Darlton, Guilford, Cornelia, Euphemia, Suzaku, Lloyd, Cecil, Jeremiah, Villetta and Kewell.

The numerical order of the princes and princesses of the imperial family is given by the status of their mothers, or the queens. For example, Cornelia and Euphemia are the Second and the Third Princess, respectively, while Lelouch is only the Eleventh Prince. It can be inferred that Cornelia and Euphemia's mother had a higher status than Marianne Vi Britannia, the mother of Lelouch and Nunnally. Also, the numbering of the imperial princes and princesses is sorted by gender. For example, Euphemia is the Third Princess and Clovis is the Third Prince. They are able (the princesses at least) to elect a personal guardian called "Knights" who are given high authority and placed directly under their command, with their own unit. Cornelia's Knight is commanding officer Guilford who, along with her, command a unit of Gloucesters.

<dl><dt>Charles di Britannia (シャルル・ジ・ブリタニア, Sharuru Ji Buritania)</dt></dl>

The 88th emperor of the Britannia Empire and main antagonist of the series. He is also Lelouch's father. He installs his children in important positions in the Empire to see their true abilities. He views equality as an evil that must be dispelled and encourages social battle to maintain evolution within the society. As such, he publicly supports inequality and calls for competition and fighting so as to create progress. Shortly after his mother's death, Lelouch questioned why the Emperor did not try to protect Marianne. Irritated with Lelouch and considering his son to be nothing without him, the Emperor sends both Lelouch and Nunnally to Japan as political hostages. Although the series has left this ambiguous, the Emperor seems to be somehow aware of major events concerning Lelouch without being informed of them, especially those related to the Geass. The Emperor possesses a Geass of his own, but unlike Lelouch's Geass on the left eye, his Geass is present in both eyes. He uses his Geass to erase Lelouch's memories as Zero.

<dl><dt>Marianne Vi Britannia (マリアンヌ・ヴィ・ブリタニア, Mariannu Vi Buritania)</dt><dt>The late empress of the Britannia Empire and the mother of Lelouch and Nunnally.

230px-JeremiahGeass.jpg

<dl><dt>Jeremiah Gottwald (ジェレミア・ゴットバルト, Jeremia Gottobaruto)</dt></dl>


<dl><dd>
</dd><dd>An elite Knightmare Frame pilot and a Purist, who is deeply concerned with the Purists' supremacy. He had attended the Imperial Colchester Institute before joining the Britannian army.</dd><dd>
</dd><dd>
</dd><dd>230px-Codegeass2418LG-1-.jpg</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Villetta Nu (ヴィレッタ・ヌゥ, Viretta Nū)</dt></dl>


<dl><dd>An elite Knightmare Frame pilot who is more collected than Jeremiah in battle. Viletta is not of noble blood, and came to support Jeremiah and the Purist Faction in the hopes that it would earn her a real title of nobility. After the incidents of the first season, Villetta is sent by the Britannian military as a gym teacher to Ashford Academy. She is quite popular, also being head of the swimming club, which Shirley is still a member. Villetta is at Ashford Academy only to look out for Zero, though it looks like she’s keeping an eye on him for now.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Kewell Soresi (キューエル・ソレーシー, Kyūeru Sorēshī)</dt></dl>

<dl><dd>One of the members of the Imperial Army. He belongs to the Purist faction in the military and stood by Jeremiah's side in scapegoating Suzaku Kururugi. After the first appearance of Zero and Jeremiah's incomprehensible actions that lead to the escape of the terrorists with Suzaku, he led the rest of the Purist officers in an unsuccessful attempt at killing Jeremiah. He finally meets his end at the hand of the Guren Nishiki piloted by Karen when his knightmare's ejection seat fails him.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Lloyd Asplund (ロイド・アスプルンド, Roido Asupurundo)</dt></dl>


<dl><dd>The developer of the elite Knightmare Frame Lancelot. His heart and soul are fully immersed in science, so much that he views Suzaku as a tool and part of the Frame that he pilots- this was later revealed as a way for him not to be reminded of the fragility of human lives and friendship. As an irregular part of the Britannia military, he and his team don't belong to the regular forces that are located in Area 11. Instead he has been given permission by the second prince of the Britannia Imperial Family, Schneizel El Britannia, to operate there and beyond the regular rules of the Britannia military (such as the laws forbidding the honorary citizens from piloting Knightmares). He has tendency of speaking mockingly toward others, which leads him to being scolded by Cecile sometimes. He is also revealed to be an earl of Britannian nobility and is nominated to wed Milly Ashford. However, his interest in Milly is actually because the Ashford family is famous for creating the Ganymede-type Knightmare Frames and hopes to get his hands on it through his connection with Milly. When this is revealed to Milly, Cecile remarks to her that Lloyd has no understanding of women. He commonly says the word "congratulations".</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Prior to joining the military, he attended the Imperial Colchester Institute.</dd><dd>
</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Cecile Croomy (セシル・クルーミー, Seshiru Kurūmī)</dt></dl>

One of Lancelot's developers and Lloyd's assistant. A kind-hearted woman, she is a good friend to Suzaku, helping him in his studies and making food for him such as onigiri mixed with blueberry jam, which Suzaku views with distaste. She often has to act as Lloyd's conscience, scolding him (or physically punishing him) for his unintentionally rude comments. She does not appear to hold herself back when scolding Lloyd for his rudeness, resulting in bruising for the latter. She proved herself near the end of the first season to be an able Knightmare Frame pilot, holding at bay an entire contingent of Black Knights sent to occupy Ashford Academy.

<dl><dd>She had studied in the Imperial Colchester Institute before joining up with Lloyd to develop the Lancelot.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Bartley Asprius (バトレー・アスプリウス, Batorē Asupuriusu)</dt></dl>

<dl><dd>A balding army general, Bartley was one of the few who knew about the secret of the capsule stolen by the Resistance and the research conducted by the scientists at Area 11. After the assassination of Clovis, he was apparently stripped of his rank and sent back to Britannia as a prisoner, but recently made his return to the military under the command of Prince Schneizel.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Andreas Darlton (アンドレアス・ダールトン, Andoreasu Dāruton)</dt></dl>

<dl><dd>A loyal confidante and close subordinate of Princess Cornelia. An extremely tall and well-built man with a diagonal scar running across his face, Darlton visits Area 11 as part of Cornelia's drive against Zero. Darlton does not particularly care for the racism running in the Britannian hierarchy, and made it clear to Suzaku that he didn't care if he promoted Britannians or Elevens, as long as they got the job done. He was one of the few Britannians that actually approved Suzaku's ascension to knighthood. Near the end of the first season, Lelouch managed to influence him with the power of Geass, causing him to disable Cornelia's Knightmare Frame during battle, and killed him immediately after he served the purpose. In picture book 8.75, Darlton was revealed to have multiple adopted sons, 5 of whom became the Gladstone knights. One of his sons, David, was a pawn in Lelouch's plot to gain the trust of Rolo.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Gilbert G.P. Guilford (ギルバート・G・P・ギルフォード, Girubāto. G. P. Girufōdo)</dt></dl><dl><dd>A loyal confidante and close subordinate of Princess Cornelia. A slender, dark-haired and bespectacled man, Guilford visits Area 11 as part of Princess Cornelia's drive against Zero, and later informs Jeremiah Gottwald of the latter's demotion, giving him a choice of either restarting his career as a Knightmare Frame pilot or cultivating an orange field. Guilford is also Princess Cornelia's personal Knight.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>He is also the temporary governor of Area 11 after Carares dies during the operation on Babel Tower.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Carares (カラレス, Kararesu)</dt></dl>

<dl><dd>The Governor-General of Area 11 after Cornelia disappeared in the ending of the 1st season. A ruthless and cruel man, he wishes to have a firm grip on the region and routinely holds executions in the Imperial Gardens designed by Prince Clovis. He was killed by Zero during the Black Knight's escape from the Babel Tower when its falling debris crushes his G-1 mobile base, killing him and his staff</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Nina Einstein (ニーナ・アインシュタイン, Nīna Ainshutain)</dt></dl>


<dl><dd>One of the members of the Student Council. She is usually on a computer or reading. Nina has a fear of Elevens and was initially intimidated by Suzaku having joined the Student Council, but seems to have warmed up to him. She is also researching the possibilities of Uranium-235 as a fuel. She develops an intense (almost obsessive) crush on Princess Euphemia after the princess shifted a soldier's attention from Nina to herself during the Lake Kawaguchi Convention Center Hotel incident. Nina being insecure from the incident, she becomes too dependent on Euphemia as her emotional support.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Nina becomes emotionally and mentally unstable upon hearing about Euphemia's death and subsequently modifies the Ganymede Knightmare Frame such that it is equipped with a prototype nuclear weapon in order to inflict revenge on Zero. During the siege at the end of the series, she has managed to halt any conflict at the school due to her possession of a prototype sakuradite enhanced nuclear weapon. After the events of season 1, she was sent to the Britannian homeland and now currently progresses in her research under the direct command of Prince Schneizel. Her bitterness towards Zero is not forgotten, though Nina is shown to be somewhat more stable. </dd><dd>

</dd><dd>The Knight of Rounds

800px-D6b20fbde136-1-.jpg

The Knight of Rounds (ナイトオブラウンズ, Naito Obu Raunzu) is a group of twelve elite soldiers under the direct command of the Emperor and are not affected by normal orders. Only seven members have been introduced.

</dd><dt>
</dt><dt>
</dt><dt>
</dt><dt>Knight of One</dt><dd>
</dd><dd></dd><dd>The strongest Knight and is admired by many. As the Knight of One, he is also granted an area of control by the Emperor himself, and he or she is allowed to request any area under Britannian rule for this grant.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>

With the title of Knight of Three, he is a product of a prestigious and noble Britannian family and an ace pilot, Zino is a positive-minded and friendly person who takes a liking to Suzaku, but their friendship seems one-sided. He pilots the transforming Knightmare Frame, Tristan. 

<dl><dt>Anya Earlstreim (アーニャ・アールストレイム, Ānya Ārusutoreimu)</dt></dl>


<dl><dd>A quiet and introverted person, Anya holds the title of Knight of Six, and has a shadowy past. She owns a camera phone, with which she often takes photos, and also has a blog, which she regularly updates, as she wishes to be remembered. Friends with Suzaku and Zino due to the proximity of their ages, she has a tattoo of the Britannian emblem emblazoned on her left arm. Arthur also takes a liking to her. She pilots the heavy assault Knightmare Frame, Mordred.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Nonette Enneagram</dt></dl>

The Knight of Nine of the Rounds, she attended the military academy with Cornelia, who considers Nonette her sempai. She also happens to be one of the few people Cornelia fears. Interestingly, her last name contains the Greek word for '9', 'ennea'.

<dl><dt>Knight of Ten</dt><dd>A laid-back guy who often does as he pleases. But he is fiercely loyal to the Empire.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Knight of Twelve</dt><dd>A gentle looking and peaceful blonde girl who is in fact more powerful than she appears.</dd></dl><dl><dt style="text-align: left;">
