Spoiler for Old stuff, changeover what you want ~ Shankbot12:
Name: Cesare Vittelo
Age: 27
Appearance: Cesare is a man of average height, with a great muscular physique. He has one light-green and one brown eye and a light tan. His long hair, going down to his neck, is black as night. He also has a small moustache and a goatee.
Origin: Italian
House: The Vittelo family is an Italian noble family, but it hasn’t always been like that. The family was from the beginning a mercenary family from Firenze, fighting for money to make their living. In 785, the family moved to Spoleto to serve as bodyguards for the local duke. The family did their duty well, guarding duke after duke, but the decisive event came in 850 AD. The family successfully uncovered and stopped a military coup against Duke Vittorio V. For their services to faithful services they were made a noble family.
Background Story: Cesare is the eldest son of Antonio Vittelo and his wife Maria. Maria was a daughter of a rich merchant of Genoa and Antonio married her because of love, not politics. The rest of the family was enraged, but Antonio stood his ground and went through with the wedding. She gave birth to Cesare, his brother Francesco and his little sister Angela. The family lived happy in their villa just outside the town of Spoleto, but soon everything changed. One autumn-night, five men broke into the villa and brutally murdered Antonio and Maria. Cesare, only 20 years old, was able to escape with his siblings. After taking in at a local inn, Cesare found out that Duke Emmanuelle III had been executed after a coup and local lords now fought over the duchy. Anarchy ruled and the people suffered. Cesare felt he had to do something, but first he returned to the villa to get some necessary commodities. His parents were still lying dead in their bed, but Cesare got his father’s sword, the family’s wealth and a few other items he thought was needed. When he left, he set fire to the villa, reducing it to ashes and erasing the horrible memory of that night. He bought a house in Spoleto and moved in with his siblings. That’s when he decided that, in order to protect his family and the people, he must become the new duke so that no one would ever dare to go after his family or the people. After rallying some local nobles and a few wealthy merchants behind himself he began his march on the road to power. After defeating the rest of the nobles defying him, he prepared to crown himself Duke of Spoleto, he received news that two regions of the duchy had seceded and had formed their own viscountcies. Cesare accepted that he couldn't crown himself duke, but immediately started drawing up plans for expanding his power and recreate the Duchy of Spoleto.

Name: Boleslaus z Lotrinske/Boleslaus III of Bohemia
Age: 32
Apperance: Boleslaus has dark green eyes and medium length hair that is black. His mouth is surrounded by a pointed goatee, similar to his father's. The Frankish-Bohemian is around 5 feet 10 inches with a strong physique. Boleslaus is seen as the ideal stature for a man of Frankish blood.
Origin: German (Bohemian/Moravian) and Frankish (Lotharingia)
House: The House of z Lotrinske, which means "Of Lotharingia," is a family with ancestral ties to the region of Upper Lorraine, believed to be from the area of Verdun. The family was founded in Bohemia through the marriage of Charles de Lothringen and Joanna Přemyslids in 954 AD. Four years later, Charles would succeed his father-in-law, the last Přemyslids Duke, Boleslaus II, and would become the founding Duke of the z Lotrinske family. Charles I z Lotrinske (the surname was assumed later into Charles' reign) would begin a rampant expansion and internal affairs policies that would make the Duchy of Bohemia stronger than ever before. He would father three sons and four daughters. His firstborn, Charles II, would die due to Consumption at the young age of 10. His second born, Boleslaus, who was named by his Bohemian/Moravian mother, would assume and, later, be granted the title of Heir Apparent to Duchy of Bohemia. Charles I would die at the age of 62, after a forty-two year reign, at the end of a long life of rule, love, family and hunting. Within the following month, his third son would ascend to the Duchy as Duke Boleslaus III of Bohemia.
Background Story: Boleslaus z Lotrinske, also known as Boleslaus III of Bohemia, was born 968 AD to Charles I of Bohemia and his wife, Joanna Přemyslids. The name Boleslaus was given to him by Joanna, after his grandfather, the last Přemyslids Duke, Bolesaus II the Pious. It was in memory of the pious duke who brought Joanna and Charles together so that his name may live on. The Frankish-Moravian child would prove be such a notable man as he grew up. Boleslaus, by the age of 16, was noted for his archery, horsemanship and abilities in politics. His elder brother, Charles II, died when he was 8 and thus was granted the title Heir Apparent only a year later by his father at the repeated suggestions by his mother. Charles would see the wisdom of his wife's words and began to groom Boleslaus for succession. Whenever Charles went hunting, his son would follow and the two would rival each other in archery and horsemanship. One day, when Charles was teaching his son how to use a sword, he asked his son who guided his blade. Boleslau would reply "God and Grandfather. I respect my Lord and my ancestors and they empower with me with motivation through the determination within my mind and the piety of my heart." Charles was surprised by these words. A monk who was passing by one day stopped and prostrated before Boleslau calling him The Pious Son. Later, when the young heir was in the woods, a hunter approached him and said "You must be the grandson of Boleslau II. You have an air of piety, the eyes of a falcon and the earmarks of a Duke." Boleslau, calmly, thanked the man and went on his way. His family was surprised, once more, by these words and believed that Boleslau was destined to do great things for the future of Bohemia and their family. In the late winter of 1000 AD, shortly after the new year, Charles I died after a long life of happiness. His aged eyes would turn to Boleslau and speak of how, at first, he doubted his son's future and that he was sorry for ever doubting his own blood. His son would reply "Be at peace, father, for the Duchy and our family is in good hands. Release your mortal body and go to the Heavenly Kingdom above." At that moment, Charles smiled and closed his eyes, his soul departing from his body seconds later. Boleslau, after traveling to speak with Otto III and being fully recognized as the heir of Bohemia, ascended his father's place as Duke Boleslau III of Bohemia. His father was granted the name Charles I 'the Augustus' and his elder brother Charles II 'the Filial' by the local clergy and the emperor. With Boleslau as the Duke of Bohemia, our story continues and only the future and God knows what is to come.

He is a just ruler for Verona, but where he excels in personal interaction and on the battlefield, he gives up in fiscal prowess. Together with his brothers Michael and Raphael, they are fiercely loyal but do not trust the other lords they have met.

This will all be updated in time.
Name: Karl von Klaus
Age: 20
Strength: 0
Intelligence: 0
Command: 5
Piety: 0
Chivalry: 0
Dread: 0
Appearance: Dark haired, brown eyed and of average height, but with a wiry and lithe build.
Origin: Austria
Family/House: The House of von Klaus has risen to prominence only very recently, with the conquest of the Osterreich region from the Magyars. Following the Battle of Lechfield, Heinrech von Klaus, a fearsome knight and skilled commander who has led a wing of Otto's army against the Magyars, was granted the territory of today's Duchy of Austria. He swiftly fortified the border and savagely repulsed any Magyars he found within the Empire's borders, sometimes launching devastating raids in retaliation. He built a manor house on the shores of Lake Constance, and soon expanded it into a proper keep. A tiny village sprung up around it's base to take advantage of the fishing and protection provided by the tower's proximity to water. It was in this castle that Karl von Klaus was raised.
Background Story: Karl was born into a time of strife in Germany. Before he was old enough to shave his realm, and those around it, were locked in a constant state of open warfare. Raised by the notorious Heinrech, Karl inherited much of his father’s vigor and lust for power. From birth, he was taught to be ruthless, to see everything as mere tools to advance himself. He was ever present at his father’s right side in battle, sometimes leading detachments independent of the main force. Life is nothing if not constant struggle, to improve one’s self and others, his father would often say. It was these very words that slithered through Karl’s head as he pulled the sword out of his father’s back. They had ridden out to parley with the Emperor, to see if an accommodation could be reached and if not, to approximate the size and strength of his forces. They had reached the meeting place, and he had removed his helmet to postpone the stuffiness that resulted from wearing it too long. Heinrech kept his on. He thought it might intimidate the Emperor, perhaps. He did favor the dramatic. As the negotiations dragged onwards it became clear that the Emperor was unwilling to budge. Stubbornness was one of his father’s most grating vices, and Karl was certain that he was simply stalling. While they were talking, Karl had ample time to gauge the strength of the opposing forces. His men were way out of their depth. The combined forces of most of Germany and Italy were facing off against a little over half of Austria. His father was a fine commander, but he doubted even Alexander could emerge victorious with such odds. A slow realization came over him. They were doomed to failure. Failure was unacceptable. He was above failure. The only way to escape failure would be to avoid battle. How? His father was just digging a deeper grave at this point. It was then that Karl sprung into action. A sword appeared from Heinrech’s chest, and the man toppled off his horse. Karl dismounted to finish the job, slitting the old man’s throat as he gasped out his last words. Make us proud, son. Wiping his blade off, Karl reached for his father’s. Kneeling and offering it to the Kaiser, he added Tyrol’s resources to the resurgent HRE. Since that time, he has retreated to his castle in Klaus, biding his time until the Emperor was ready to redistribute the realm amongst the various nobles.

People's Republic of CascadiaOriginally Posted by Ancient Aliens
Name: Pytor von Wrangel
Age: 31
Apperance: 6'3 to 6'4, rather stocky with light brown hair, a long face, and grew eyes
Origin: Rhineland german Father/Silesian Piast cadet branch mother
House: von Wrangel
Bio: The of of Wrangel is a rather new player in north german politics, with Pytor's father being a Rhineland Baronet who moved to the wild northern frontier in an effort to advance his name and family honor. Pytors father distinguished himself fighting the northern pagans and was elevated to the title of Graf, or count, and took a Silesian noblewomen of a cadet branch of the Piast family as his bride. Despite his noble status, the nature of life on the frontier and his father's spartan nature meant that Pytor did not live a posh life of pampering and education, but instead was educated in the schools of warfare, god, and physical pursuits.
Pytor is not an educated man, nor is is subtle or have an even temper, but instead is a practical, tough, fiery, audacious, and some would say fanatical warrior that has the potential to do great things in the cold, dark, blood-soaked forests of the north
