Left by his Queen of Hearts when she gave birth to his daughter, this widower's mind has darkened with every day. He rules his kingdom with an iron hand, accepting no oposition to his kingly spoken word. Those who presume to dissent will die a thousand vicious deaths in the dungeons of Castle Darkway.

She married the King of Darkway after the passing of his first, and some say: only, love. Some others say she's the reason for the change of mind, the king has gone through. And then there are those, who state that she's in an affair with the Black Knight, and he might be the true father of the King's second-born, The Foul Prince. But whom ever says anything from the above will loose his tongue in Castle Darkway's dungeons... at least to start with.

Once a rising young commander in battle, he was lured by the easy fame of great victories. When his generals begged him to stop slaughtering his enemies, he took their heads and carried on. Today he is driven by the search for the next victory, unable to celebrate it once he has achieved it... there's always another one mocking at him from far far away.

Has a secret liason with the Queen of Horrors, with whom he shares a certain state of insanity. His insanity is only exceeded by his cruelness in battle. Maybe that's why he's getting along that well with The Foul Prince... or maybe it's because he is his real father, who knows.

Sworn his life to protect the royal family, regardless of what it ever will take: His life, his honor, his soul!?

A man of dark humor and broad jokes, he's the only one able to get a smile pass over the king's face.

As long as his bags won't stop to fill, he has no reason to stop cooperating, has he?

With every message he deliveres, he takes some information in return... as it is demanded of the ruthless spy he is.

The Wicked Old Nan is an not-so-well aged woman that was told to have an eye on the little ones in the castle. Bitter by never being able to give birth to her own babies, she tortured her fosterling with dark stories of pain and argony, throwing them into a state of panic. Only the mentally strongest been able to go through this horror without any permanent pyschological illnesses.
