rakshata

Rakshata Chawla

First appearance: Ep. 18
Rakshata is a specialist in medical cybernetics; she is from the Indian Army and is in alliance with the Kyoto Group. After the collaboration of the Kyoto Group and the Order of the Black Knights, Rakshata hopped aboard as the Head of Research and Development. Her technological innovations surpass those of Lloyd, having designed the Guren Nishiki as well as the Gefjun disturber (the only weapon known to cease Lancelot's movement when activated). As hinted by Lloyd and Cecil, and moreover, seen in the ending theme, Rakshata had once been a mentor of Lloyd and Cecil.

schneizel

Schneizel El Britannia (age 29)

First appearance: Ep. 18
Attested by his consideration and care towards his subordinates, and his informalities towards family members, Schneizel is decidedly easy-going compared to his half-sister, Cornelia. Though he's much less hard-nosed, he takes his duties seriously and makes lickety-split, directing decisions in both political affairs and admidst battle. Schneizel is the only royalty we've seen interact with the Emperor, whos command seems to run through Schneizel, particularly in the research department. Lelouch pointed out that Schneizel fights by causing chaos within enemy ranks usng an ace, so no matter how that ace performs, standbys will be behind to finish the task. In other words, he inevitably sacrifices the front for the success of those from behind. One can question whether Schneizel is truly a kindred soul.

Kaguya Sumeragi

First appearance: Ep. 22
This young, happy-go-lucky girl is actually one of the heads of the Kyoto houses. However, her title doesn't garner much respect from Kyoto because she serves more as a figurehead than as commanding authority. Her hope is for a re-established Japan and to marry Zero. It's unncessary for me to say that she kindles annoyance.

Rolo Lamperouge


First appearance: Turn 1
This quiet, unassuming boy is the latest addition to the Ashford student body. After Nunnally's disappearance, Rolo usurped her sibling position in order to get close to Lelouch. Rolo seems shy and distant, though, without an identity to call his own, seems to take to heart his brotherly bond with Lelouch. Rolo possesses two uncanny talents, which could either spell trouble or win for the Black Knights.

Xing Ke


First appearance: Turn 4
Officially an imperial body guard, Xing Ke assumed the temporary position of a Chinese Federation Consulate General during a hectic and eventful stay at Area 11. Xing Ke's loyalty to the Chinese Empress can be described to be as solid as his mad sword skills.

Zino Weinberg


First appearnance: Turn 5
There's no care in the world, just the exhilarating feel of a day out in the sun! Indeed, this Knight of Three apears to carry the least emotional baggage amongst the Knight of Rounds. He fulfills his orders dutifully and maintains strong loyalty towards the Empire. He's also very fun loving and often crashes Suzaku's personal life at the Academy. He sticks with Anya and Suzaku, caring a great deal for the two of them. Zino has a feisty fighting style, and he immerses himself in the thrill of a battle. He savours a challenge and has a knack for counterattacks while piloting the dual-transform Tristan.

Anya Alstreim


First appearance: Turn 5
Introverted and utterly expressionless, it's hard to tell what this Knight of Six is thinking until she bluntly puts it into speech. Despite being quiet, Anya is really far from shy. She often snaps photos of her everyday (sometimes embarrassing) encounters, then puts them up on her blog. Her curious behavior can be attributed to Anya's desire to be remembered. Anya is cool and calm in battle, never flinching under pressure. More so than Zino, Anya caters to her own whims like a young girl of her age might, and with a person of her status, she can certainly take her on-the-spot decisions to the extreme. She pilots the tank-like Mordred, which is equipped with more bullets and missiles than are contemporary for a Knight of Rounds' knightmare. Imagine pointing that at a school!

Sayoko


First appearance: Ep. 3
Sayoko is a maid assigned only to serve Lelouch and Nunnally during their residency at Ashford Academy. Though she is very loyal, she knows not of the true identities of the Lamperouge siblings. Sayoko gets involved with Zero out of admiration, and she proves herself as an unexpectedly capable fighter and becomes entrusted with Zero's most covert missions. It's not important, but she wears her maid hat almost constantly.

V.V. (age: >65)


First appearance: Ep. 22
Sharing the same two-lettered abbreviation of a name as C.C. does, V.V.'s appearance marks a turning point in the story. V.V. appears in front of Suzaku, spilling the beans abou the geass, and leaving Suzaku to follow a burning trail of truth. V.V. is actually a boy, despite his ressemblance to a girl. His youthful appearance hides years of immortality, secrets, and a stained life. Who could he possibly have a pact with?
