Characters are a type of an off-map historical or historically plausible persona and should not be confused with on-map Leaders (see Chapter 7.2) of a foreign nation. Despite sharing similarities, such as having a power value, which must be kept above 0 to keep them from being lost, characters are 'behind the curtains' personalities that lack direct abilities and instead alter narratives, decisions and the course of chains of events when their theater is in focus.
