Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – Meet the Medieval Cast | iGV First

Prepare to delve into the intricate world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, where history intertwines with fiction. This sequel promises a rich tapestry of characters, some drawn from the annals of real-life history, others forged in the fires of the game’s narrative. Understanding the political landscape and motivations of these figures will be key to navigating the Bohemian countryside. Let’s meet the key players!

Wenceslaus IV and Sigismund of Hungary: A Clash of Kings

The death of Emperor Charles IV in 1378 set off a chain of events central to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. His son, Wenceslaus, inherited the Bohemian throne but displayed little interest in his responsibilities. Meanwhile, Sigismund of Hungary, a half-brother, saw an opportunity to seize power, leading to a conflict that consumed the land. While in real life, these figures were complicated, the game portrays Wenceslaus as the legitimate king and Sigismund as a power-hungry usurper. This portrayal shapes Henry’s perspective and the narrative of the sequel. In the first game, Sigismund was ruthless in his pursuit of power, attacking villages and demanding loyalty. The game simplifies the historical complexities for narrative clarity. Sigismund also founded a chivalric order, interesting in that it features in the game’s history and Vlad Dracul’s lineage.

Henry of Skalitz: The Blacksmith’s Son

Our protagonist, Henry, carries the torch from the first game. A commoner orphaned and traumatized, Henry’s journey has shaped him into a skilled swordsman and adept adventurer. His quest for justice and recovery, made more poignant by the destruction of his home and the loss of his family, underpins the entire sequel. Henry begins as a lowly character, but his experience in the first game saw him develop skills beyond a blacksmith’s son. This progression is key to understanding the character’s motivations and development in the sequel. He has a personal quest to retrieve the stolen sword of his late lord.

Istvan Toth: A Big Ol’ Jerk

Istvan Toth, a Hungarian noble and ardent supporter of Sigismund, emerges as a significant antagonist in the first game. His actions led to the destruction of Skalitz and the theft of a valuable sword. His motivation remains deeply rooted in personal gain, and he is portrayed as someone who does not hesitate to use underhanded methods to secure his objectives. Toth is known for his treachery and cunning. He was the main antagonist in the previous game, manipulating events, and escaping by exchanging hostages. He remains an active character to be confronted.

Sir Radzig Kobyla: A Friendly Noble

Sir Radzig, the former Lord of Skalitz, plays a pivotal role in both the first and second games. His support of Wenceslaus and the plight of his people following Sigismund’s attack on Skalitz are key factors in the conflict. A fascinating twist reveals Radzig’s connection to Henry, highlighting his fatherly involvement in Henry’s life. This bond shapes Henry’s motivations and his journey in the sequel. Radzig is a loyal supporter of the rightful king.

Sir Hans Capon: Your Spoiled BFF

Sir Hans Capon, a younger nobleman, joins Henry on his journey in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Initially characterized by his pampered upbringing, he often acts entitled and impulsive. However, despite his shortcomings, Hans possesses a surprisingly good heart. His character arc will likely develop throughout the game. His focus is on the quest at hand. His relationship with Henry makes him more than a casual companion.

Theresa: The Girl Who Saved Your Sorry Butt

Theresa, a fellow refugee from Skalitz, emerges as a strong and independent woman. Her significant role in the first game, helping Henry multiple times, establishes her as a prominent character. The sequel’s narrative may introduce new facets of her character, given her potential romantic interest in Henry from before. Her role in the second game remains uncertain, but her past interactions are key to appreciating her importance.

Sir Divish: The Guy Who Saved Your Sorry Butt

Sir Divish, the Lord of Talmberg, plays a critical role in the first game, offering shelter and support to Henry after the destruction of Skalitz. His leadership and shrewdness make him a strong ally to the Wenceslaus faction. Divish’s commitment to the cause, along with his strategy and diplomacy, makes him a formidable character. He is a key member of the anti-Sigismund forces, protecting Talmberg.

Markvart von Aulitz: Probably The Real Final Bad Guy

Markvart, a prominent commander in Sigismund’s army, is potentially the final antagonist in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. His role in the first game suggests an influential but elusive character, a formidable enemy for Henry. His involvement in the attacks on Skalitz and his command of Sigismund’s forces mark him as a likely opponent. He is positioned to be a major obstacle for Henry.
