![[squares_project_characters.webp|left|150]] **Who are these characters?** Above are twelve characters who are the primary cast of this new campaign storyline for Bannerlord.
**What purpose do they serve, and Why?** Their purpose is to offer unique perspectives on Calradia as well as unique talents for the two warbands which the story will center around.
**Where did you get the idea for these characters?** Most of these characters are “frankensteins” of companions from Bannerlord. Three companions usually are combined to create one of these characters. Also, some of the names for these characters are pulled directly from Bannerlord’s cut-content.

**When did you create them?** I made these characters when I first started this project, their designs however have changed overtime. Some drastically, some barely. Bloodbark, in specific, hasn’t changed much at all from conception.
**How did you make them?** Their designs were determined by several things. Their purpose, their backstory (or it’s conglomeration of companion backstories), and finally their culture. Heights for example, were based off their respective culture’s averages for men and women separately. Khuzait women are usually between `0.40 / 0.35` for instance [^1] and so when designing Khachin I put her at `0.40`, making her the shortest amongst in the cast.
