After Britannia's invasion of Japan, Suzaku joins the Britannia Army and becomes an Honorary Britannian, and later, the pilot of the Lancelot, as a member of its R&D Division.

A mysterious green-haired girl who bestows the power of Geass upon Lelouch under the condition that he would grant her greatest wish.

Pronounced as C2 in the TV series.

The Black Knights

The Black Knights (黒の騎士団, Kuro no Kishidan) is a group of revolutionaries originally named Resistance which strove to liberate Area 11 from Britannia and to restore it to Japan. When Zero takes over the group under his command and introduces them to the world, he announces that their goal is to "help those without power who are threatened by the more powerful". They rescued Tōdō from Britannia army and recruited Tōdō's group, thus adding on to the strength of the knights.

The Black knights enjoy victories after victories under the leadership of Zero and started to gain support from the Kyōto house. With the Kyōto house's support, they have much more financial backing and more Knightmare Frames which is good in quality too.

Soon, the Black knights started to expand and grow in strength. They then began preparations to invade Britannia.

However, it is to be noted that the Order of Black Knights seems to rely heavily on Zero and they are always in a mess or fluster when Zero did not give them an order.

Karen Stadtfeld (カレン・シュタットフェルト, Karen Shutattoferuto) /
Karen Kōzuki (紅月カレン, Kōzuki Karen) Seiyū: Ami Koshimizu

A Britannian-Eleven girl, who believes herself to be a Japanese person at heart and prefers to be known by her birth name, Karen Kōzuki (紅月カレン, Kōzuki Karen). She is currently the leader of the Zero squadron (consisting of Zero's bodyguards) of The Black Knights, and is amongst its most talented pilots. She comes from a prestigious Britannian family and attends the Ashford Academy, where she is a member of its student council and amongst its most outstanding students. She shows outstanding loyalty to Zero.

Kallen Stadtfeld was the original and thus more accurate translation of her name, and is written this way on the official website and official pictures.

Kyōshirō Tōdō (藤堂鏡志朗, Tōdō Kyōshirō) Seiyū: Yūji Takada

Age: 37

The head of military operations at The Black Knights, Kyōshirō Tōdō is a chequered former general. He is nicknamed Kiseki no Tōdō (奇跡の藤堂, lit. Tōdō of Miracles) due to him being the only person to have won a battle against the Empire of Britannia during the war and most remarkably with the lack of Frames at his disposal. This event would later be known as the miracle of Itsukushima. He is followed by the Shisei-ken (四聖剣, lit. Four Holy Swords), an elite unit consisting of four of his most devoted followers. He was recently captured by Britannian forces and was scheduled for execution until he was freed by Zero, The Black Knights and the Shisei-ken. He is an extremely talented fighter, and was Suzaku Kururugi's former instructor when he was a child. Tōdō is often seen bearing a katana at his side.

Nagisa Chiba (千葉凪沙, Chiba Nagisa) Seiyū: Saeko Chiba: The sole female member of the Shisei-ken. She is an admirer and devoted follower of Tōdō.

Kaname Ōgi (扇要, Ōgi Kaname) Seiyū: Mitsuaki Madono

Age: 26
Zodiac Sign: Pisces
Blood Type: O

He was the leader of the Resistance, but handed over the leadership of the Resistance to Zero upon realizing he is a better leader. He was then appointed as the deputy commander of The Black Knights(evolved from the Resistance).

Diethard Ried (ディートハルト・リート, Dītoharuto Rīto) Seiyū: Jouji Nakata

Age: 31
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Blood Type: AB

The head of information, espionage, and public relations at The Black Knights. A former producer and member of the Press Bureau Staff of Hi-TV, a Britannian television station, he is a graduate of the Imperial Britannia Central University's Faculty of Law. He was extremely interested in Zero when he first announced himself and his goals to the public, later joining the Black Knights, wishing to witness and document Zero's campaign to overthrow Britannia and rule the world. In the very first episode it is shown that he also harbors contempt for the royal family of Britannia and its supporters.

Lakshata Chawla (ラクシャータ・チャウラー, Rakushāta Chaurā) Seiyū: Masayo Kurata: A scientist and developer, creator of the Knightmare Frame, Guren Nishiki, and head of technology and development at The Black Knights. She is also noted for her extensive work on medical cybernetics, and appears to have been a former acquaintance of Lloyd and Cecile. When Zero met her for the first time, he notes that she is not fond of speaking about the past. She also made the new jumpsuits for the pilots of the Black Knights, which increases their survival rate substantially.

Her works also include the Fukushahadō (輻射波動, lit. radiation surge) weapon on the right arm of the Guren Nishiki and the Gefjun Disturber (used against Suzaku in episodes 18 and 24 to disable the Lancelot). She was also able to upgrade the Gawain Knightmare Frame to a fully-operational unit.

Shinichirō Tamaki (玉城真一郎, Tamaki Shinichirō) Seiyū: Kazunari Tanaka

Age: 24

The hot-headed member of The Black Knights, he was initially skeptical about Zero and his plans. He is currently the leader of the second special squad at The Black Knights. Despite his skepticism, he shows strong support for Zero once he reveals the Black Knights' ultimate goal although he would sometimes get too carried away- during the rebellion near the end of the first season, he ordered several students of Ashford Academy executed before being interrupted by escalating events. He dreams of being a bureaucrat, and has said that if he didn't have his dream to aim for, he would probably have become a Refrain user.

Kyōto house

The Kyōto house is a secret society of Japanese individuals working against Britannia, which seeks for Japan to gain independence from Britannia. They have supported anti-Britannian resistance groups such as the former Japanese Liberation Front organization and, currently, the Black Knights, and also supply these groups with equipment, supplies, and even Knightmare Frames such as the Burai, Gekka, and Guren Nishiki, to help in their struggles against Britannia.

Kaguya Sumeragi (皇神楽耶, Sumeragi Kaguya) Seiyū: Mika Kanai: The young head mistress of the Kyōto house, and a supporter of The Black Knights. Despite her age and physique, she proves to have a strong will within.

She has admired Zero ever since his debut and upon their meeting, she reveals her intention to marry him and believes he will win the war against Britannia. Kaguya lived with Lelouch, Nunnally, and Suzaku during their childhood days at the Kururugi Shrine. She is apparently related to Suzaku.

Taizō Kirihara (桐原泰三, Kirihara Taizō) Seiyū: Shinpachi Tsuji: An elderly industrialist, who was most influential in the mining of the Sakuradite, and founder of the Kirihara Industries (桐原産業, Kirihara Sangyō). During the years of the Kururugi Administration, he was one of its most influential people and administrators behind the scenes. After Britannia's invasion, he appeared publicly in support of its rule and the colonization of Area 11, being known publicly as a traitor, however secretly, he managed the resistance movements against Britannian rule and was leader of the Kyōto house. He had known both Nunnally and Lelouch when they first visited the Kururugi Shrine, and knows of Lelouch's identity as Zero, and has given support and assistance to him in his struggle against the Britannia Empire.

Japan Liberation Front

The Japan Liberation Front (日本解放戦線, Nippon Kaihō Sensen) is another anti-Britannia organization, which operates separately from the others, consisting primary of former Japanese military personnel. They are also the biggest anti-Britannia organization in Japan/Area 11; before The Black Knights, the group in Kyoto gave the best weapons and information to them. A faction from their organization, led by Kusakabe, took control of a Britannian tourist destination, the Lake Kawaguchi Convention Center Hotel, taking a group of Britannian citizens hostage. Toudo and his Shisei-ken were originally associated with this organization but joined The Black Knights after he was persuaded by Zero, who was in the process of rescuing him from execution by Britannia. Most of the members of the Japan Liberation Front have lost their lives during the Lake Kawaguchi Convention Center Hotel incident and when Britannian forces ambushed what seemed to be the remnants of the Japan Liberation Front on Takehiro Koyama's warship. The group has been assumed to be eliminated by the Britannian military, despite in all three incidents, Zero either directly or indirectly led to their demise.

Katase (片瀬) Seiyū: Takehiro Koyama: The leader and general of the Nippon Kaihō Sensen. He dies in episode 13, during the midst of a raid launched by Britannian forces against his warship. Despite being killed by a mine set up by Zero himself (without the knowledge of the rest of the Order of the Black Knights), his official cause of death is suicide.

Kusakabe (草壁) Seiyū: Masuo Amada: Former lieutenant general and a comrade of Tōdō. Seeking to draw attention to the fight the Nippon Kaihō Sensen is attempting against Britannia, he took several Britannian citizens and students hostages at the Lake Kawaguchi Convention Center Hotel, while meeting Zero and Tōdō's strong disapproval as a result. Under the influence of the geass, he is later forced to kill himself via impalement.

Britannia Empire

A royal kingdom and international superpower, which possesses about one-third of the entire world. Territories under Britannian rule include Area 11, North America, the Philippines, islands from the Pacific Ocean and a Middle Eastern-like country, recently conquered and renamed as Area 18. The Britannia flag features a lion and a snake intertwined, and they represent "king" and "death and rebirth" respectively.

Imperial family

The numerical order of the princes and princesses of the imperial family is given by the status of their mothers, or the queens. For example, Cornelia and Euphemia are the Second and the Third Princess, respectively, while Lelouch is only the Eleventh Prince. It can be inferred that the Cornelia and Euphemia's mother had a higher status than Marianne Vi Britannia, the mother of Lelouch and Nunnally. Also, the numbering of the imperial princes and princesses is sorted by gender. For example, Euphemia is the Third Princess and Clovis is the Third Prince.

The Emperor of Britannia (ブリタニア皇帝, Buritania Kōtei) Seiyū: Norio Wakamoto

Age: 62

The 88th emperor of the Britannia Empire and Lelouch's father. He installs his children in important positions in the Empire to see their true abilities. He views equality as an evil that must be dispelled and encourages social battle to maintain evolution within the society. As such, he publicly supports inequality and calls for competition and fighting so as to create progress. Shortly after his mother's death, Lelouch questioned why the Emperor did not try to protect Marianne. Irritated with Lelouch and considering his son to be nothing without him, the Emperor sends both Lelouch and Nunnally to Japan as political hostages.

In a later picture drama, Nunnally remembers a time when she, as a child, broke a plate commemorating her mother's knighting. This plate lists the Emperor's name as Charles di Britannia, though whether this is official remains to be seen.

Marianne Vi Britannia (マリアンヌ・ヴィ・ブリタニア, Mariannu Vi Buritania)

Nickname: "Marianne the Flash" (for her superior Knightmare Frame piloting skills)

The late empress of the Britannia Empire and the mother of Lelouch and Nunnally. Her commoner status by birth caused her to earn the jealousy of other imperial wives and nobles, which Lelouch suspects had resulted in her murder. Marianne's maiden name, Lamperouge, would later be adopted by her children in order to hide their true identities.

Schneizel El Britannia (シュナイゼル・エル・ブリタニア, Shunaizeru Eru Buritania) Seiyū: Norihiro Inoue

Nickname: "White Prince"
Age: 29

The second prince of the Britannia Imperial Family. When questioned by Lelouch, Clovis suggests that he knows the truth regarding Marianne's murder. The Emperor, despite being aware of the fact that Schneizel intends to challenge him, seems to be lenient toward Schneizel and lets his son do anything as he pleases. He is charismatic and caring despite his cold actions.

Clovis La Britannia (クロヴィス・ラ・ブリタニア, Kurovisu Ra Buritania) Seiyū: Nobuo Tobita

Age: 24
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Blood Type: O

The third prince of the Britannian Imperial Family and the former governor of Area 11. He has the distinction of being both the first to learn that Lelouch is alive and the first to become a casualty of Lelouch's revenge.

Cornelia Li Britannia (コーネリア・リ・ブリタニア, Kōneria Ri Buritania) Seiyū: Junko Minagawa

Nickname: "Witch of Britannia"
Age: 27
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn
Blood Type: O

The second princess of the Britannia Imperial Family. She is extremely skilled in Knightmare Frame combat and completed the establishment of Area 18 shortly before arriving in Area 11. Cornelia is the Governor-General and the Chief General of the Imperial.

Euphemia Li Britannia (ユーフェミア・リ・ブリタニア, Yūfemia Ri Buritania) Seiyū: Omi Minami

Nickname: Euphie (ユフィ, Yufi)
Age: 16
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Blood Type: B

The third princess of the Britannia Imperial Family. Lelouch's half-sister and innocent to a fault, she was the sister Lelouch cared most about after Nunnally. After meeting Suzaku, she requested his assistance to prevent any unnecessary deaths around her. Euphemia was the Lieutenant-Governor of Area 11.

Britannia military and research

Jeremiah Gottwald (ジェレミア・ゴットバルト, Jeremia Gottobaruto) Seiyū: Ken Narita

Age: 28
Zodiac Sign: Leo
Blood Type: A
Nickname: Orange(-kun)

An elite Knightmare Frame pilot and a Purist, who is deeply concerned with the Purists' supremacy.

Villetta Nu (ヴィレッタ・ヌゥ, Viretta Nū) Seiyū: Akeno Watanabe

Age: 26
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Blood Type: B

An elite Knightmare Frame pilot who is more collected than Jeremiah in battle. Viletta is not of noble blood, and came to support Jeremiah and the Purist Faction in the hopes that it would earn her a real title of nobility.

Kewell Soresi (キューエル・ソレーシー, Kyūeru Sorēshī) Seiyū: Yasuyuki Kase: One of the members of the Imperial Army. He belongs to the Purist faction in the military and stood by Jeremiah's side in scapegoating Suzaku Kururugi. After the first appearance of Zero and Jeremiah's incomprehensible actions that lead to the escape of the terrorists with Suzaku, he led the rest of the Purist officers in an unsuccessful attempt at killing Jeremiah. He finally meets his end at the hand of the Guren Nishiki piloted by Karen when his knightmare's ejection seat fails him.

Lloyd Asplund (ロイド・アスプルンド, Roido Asupurundo) Seiyū: Tetsu Shiratori

Nickname: "Pudding Earl"
Age: 29
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Blood Type: AB

The developer of the elite Knightmare Frame Lancelot. His heart and soul are fully immersed in science, so much that he views Suzaku as a tool and part of the Frame that he pilots- this was later revealed as a way for him not to be reminded of the fragility of human lives and friendship. As a part of the Britannia military he and his team don't belong to the regular forces that are located in Area 11. Instead he has been given permission by the second prince of the Britannia Imperial Family, Schneizel El Britannia, to operate there and beyond the regular rules of the Britannia military (such as the laws forbidding the honorary citizens from piloting Knightmares). He has tendency of speaking mockingly toward others, which leads him to being scolded by Cecile sometimes. He was revealed to be an earl of Britannian nobility and is nominated to wed Milly Ashford.

Cecile Croomy (セシル・クルーミー, Seshiru Kurūmī) Seiyū: Kikuko Inoue

Age: 24
Zodiac Sign: Virgo
Blood Type: O

One of Lancelot's developers and Lloyd's assistant. A kind-hearted woman, she is a good friend to Suzaku, helping him in his studies and making food for him such as onigiri mixed with blueberry jam, which Suzaku views with distaste. She often has to act as Lloyd's conscience, scolding him (or physically punishing him) for his unintentionally rude comments. She does not appear to hold herself back when scolding Lloyd for his rudeness, resulting in bruising for the latter. She proved herself near the end of the first season also an able Knightmare Frame pilot, holding at bay an entire contingent of Black Knights sent to occupy Ashford Academy.

Bartley Asprius (バトレー・アスプリウス, Batorē Asupuriusu) Seiyū: Katsuhisa Hōki: A balding army general, Bartley was one of the few who knew about the secret of the capsule stolen by the Resistance and the research conducted by the scientists at Area 11. After the assassination of Clovis, he was apparently stripped of his rank and sent back to Britannia as a prisoner, but recently made his return to the military under the command of Prince Schneizel.

Andreas Darlton (アンドレアス・ダールトン, Andoreasu Dāruton) Seiyū: Kiyoyuki Yanada: A loyal confidante and close subordinate of Princess Cornelia. An extremely tall and well-built man with a diagonal scar running across his face, Darlton visits Area 11 as part of Cornelia's drive against Zero. Darlton was one of the few Britannians that actually approved Suzaku's ascension to knighthood. Near the end of the first season, Lelouch managed to influence him with the power of Geass, causing him to disable Cornelia's Knightmare Frame during battle, and killed him immediately after he served the purpose. In picture book 8.75, Darlton was revealed to have an adopted son who he raised to become a Gladstone knight.

Gilbert G.P. Guilford (ギルバート・G・P・ギルフォード, Girubāto. G. P. Girufōdo) Seiyū: Yoshiyuki Kōno: A loyal confidante and close subordinate of Princess Cornelia. A slender, dark-haired and bespectacled man, Guilford visits Area 11 as part of Princess Cornelia's drive against Zero, and later informs Jeremiah Gottwald of the latter's demotion, giving him a choice of either restarting his career as a Knightmare Frame pilot or cultivating an orange field. Guilford is also Princess Cornelia's personal Knight. He is 27 years old.

Ashford Academy

A private academy, owned by the Ashford family. Lelouch and Nunnally are currently living in the school campus under the protection of the Ashford family, using their mother's maiden name, Lamperouge, as a means of hiding their actual identities.

Since episode 5, C.C. has been living in the campus too, in Lelouch's room. Both Suzaku and Lelouch reunited there since the invasion of Japan, and they soon become classmates.

Student Council members

Shirley Fenette (シャーリー・フェネット, Shārī Fenetto) Seiyū: Fumiko Orikasa

Age: 17
Zodiac Sign: Cancer
Date of Birth: July 9
Blood Type: A

Lelouch's friend and classmate at Ashford Academy, and one of the members of the Student Council. She is in the school swimming club and despises Lelouch's gambling chess games. Shirley has a crush on Lelouch and suspects that he has a romantic interest in Karen. When Zero indirectly causes the death of her father, Shirley falls into mental anguish, which is compounded when she discovers Zero's true identity. Shirley becomes unstable because of Mao who was calling her a muderer, because she shot Villetta and was thought to be dead, and because he was calling her an witch, because she was using her father's death is in excuse to kiss Lelouch and tried to get close to him. Mao tries to use Shirley in her unstable condition to kill Lelouch but fails. To end her suffering, Lelouch uses his Geass power on Shirley and erases his existence from her memories. She currently regards Lelouch as a stranger in her life, only recently finding out that the two have been going to classes together for some time. This new attitude of hers is questioned by Milly, but Lelouch puts it off and tells Milly as a result of relationship issues and argument between him and Shirley. Later, Shirley is seen finding the note she wrote in the past about Lelouch and her father, wherein she rediscovers Lelouch's identity as Zero. She tries to confront Lelouch about it, but has failed so far.

Rivalz Cardemonde (リヴァル・カルデモンド, Rivaru Karudemondo) Seiyū: Noriaki Sugiyama

Age: 17
Zodiac Sign: Cancer
Blood Type: AB

Lelouch's friend, Rivalz is also a member of the Student Council. He drives Lelouch around on his motorbike at times as ante for their bets on chess games. He has a part-time job as bartender/waiter in a salon. He seems to have a crush on Milly Ashford, which he shows at some points in the series, especially when it was announced that Milly was going through a marriage interview. As shown in-series and in the DVD-exclusive bonus material, Rivalz formed a fast friendship with Suzaku Kururugi after the latter saved Lelouch's life during the stolen mask incident depicted in episode 6.

Milly Ashford (ミレイ・アッシュフォード, Mirei Ashufōdo) Seiyū: Sayaka Ohara

Age: 18
Zodiac Sign: Leo
Blood Type: O

The granddaughter of the school superintendent, Ruben K. Ashford, and the president of the Student Council. She likes teasing Shirley and is eager to discover Lelouch's weaknesses - enough to organize a school chase, much to Lelouch's panic. She is aware of Lelouch's actual identity as a former prince of Britannia, since the Ashford family were close supporters to his mother, Marianne Vi Britannia. This action, however, led to the family's nobility status being stripped. The Ashford family, wanting to restore their status, have two options in doing so: either reinstate Lelouch and Nunnally back into the royal family or to arrange a marriage to a noble. The Ashfords opt for the latter and arrange a marriage interview for Milly, in which she meets the man her parents wish her to marry: Lloyd Asplund. In the second picture drama special included on the DVD release, it is revealed that her grandfather and Nina's grandfather worked on the Io and Ganymede type Knightmare Frames.

Nunnally Lamperouge (ナナリー・ランペルージ, Nanarī Ranperūji) Seiyū: Kaori Nazuka

Nicknames: "White Witch" (Nightmare of Nunnally manga only)
Age: 14
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
Blood Type: AB
Height: 160 cm (5'3")

She is Lelouch's younger sister and is wheelchair-bound due to old bullet wounds on her legs, and blind due to psychological trauma from witnessing the brutal murder of her mother. She is the reason why Lelouch tries to overthrow Britannia.

Nina Einstein (ニーナ・アインシュタイン, Nīna Ainshutain) Seiyū: Saeko Chiba

Age: 17
Zodiac Sign: Virgo
Blood Type: A

One of the members of the Student Council. She is usually on a computer or reading. Nina has a fear of Elevens and was initially intimidated by Suzaku having joined the Student Council, but seems to have warmed up to him. She is also researching the possibilities of Uranium-235 as a fuel. She develops an intense crush on Princess Euphemia after the princess shifted a soldier's attention from Nina to herself during the Lake Kawaguchi Convention Center Hotel incident. Upon discovering Euphemia's death, Nina becomes emotionally unstable and begins working to modify the Ganymede Knightmare Frame and to equip it with a prototype nuclear weapon to try and inflict revenge upon Zero. During the siege at the end of the series, she has managed to halt any conflict at the school due to her possession of a prototype sakuradite enhanced nuclear weapon and the fact it appears she has mentally snapped.

Other characters who live in Ashford Academy

Sayoko Shinozaki (篠崎咲世子, Shinozaki Sayoko) Seiyū: Satomi Arai

Age: 24
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
Blood Type: O

A kindhearted Eleven, she serves as a maid to the Lamperouge siblings in their residence. She also helps teach Nunnally origami and assists in taking care of her. She is later revealed to be a spy working for Diethard. The DVD releases for the series occasionally include humorous excerpts from Sayoko's diary, in which she has come to the mistaken conclusions that Lelouch is a crossdresser.

Arthur (アーサー, Āsā): A stray cat befriended by princess Euphemia. Arthur is later chased through Ashford Academy by various students after wandering into the Lamperouge residence and escaping with Lelouch's Zero mask. The student council adopts him afterwards and builds a cat house for him within the school. The relation between Arthur and Suzaku seems one sided as Arthur constantly tries to bite either Suzaku's hand or leg. Despite this, he saves Suzaku's life at the end of the first season when he jumps on top of Tamaki's gun when he is about to shoot Suzaku.

Other characters

Genbu Kururugi (枢木玄武, Kururugi Genbu): Suzaku's late father, the last prime minister of Japan, and host for Lelouch and Nunnally seven years prior to the story. Reported in the media to have committed suicide in order to stop the all-out war against Britannia, he was actually murdered by his own son Suzaku, with the truth behind his death covered up.

Mao (マオ) Seiyū: Takeshi Kusao

Age: 17

A Chinese orphan who was given the power of Geass by C.C. at the age of 6. His power differs significantly from Lelouch's - he has the ability to read peoples' minds without direct eye contact. Mao is mentally unstable due to not being able to turn off his power, causing him to hear the thoughts of every person within a radius of 500 meters. He wears headphones repeatedly playing recorded words of encouragement and gratitude from C.C. during his younger days in order to block out the thoughts around him. When Mao finally finds C.C. in Area 11, she tries to get rid of him in an amusement park but fails and Lelouch ends up rescuing her from Mao's chainsaw and using his Geass to make police officers shoot Mao.

Since Lelouch ordered the police to "shoot" instead of "kill", Mao manages to survive with the help of Britannia's advances in medicine. He then kidnaps and holds Nunnally hostage in order to lure out and eliminate Lelouch in an elaborate game. Lelouch and Suzaku collaborate and succeed in rescuing Nunnally and defeating Mao, but the latter reads Suzaku's memories, revealing the true fate of his father; he was killed by Suzaku and did not commit suicide. Lelouch orders Mao to shut up using his Geass and as Mao escapes from a shocked Suzaku and a surprised Lelouch, he is finally killed by C.C who shot him in the neck.

V.V. (ヴイ・ツー, Vui Tsū, Seiyū: Kazato Tomizawa): A mysterious effeminate boy, V.V. possesses superhuman abilities and is apparently connected to the Geass. V.V.'s first action within the series is to transport Lelouch, Suzaku, Karen, and Euphemia to Kaminejima. After Euphemia's death he contacts Suzaku and explains the reasons behind Euphemia's actions and tells him of the Power of Geass.At the end of Season one, he abducts Nunally, causing Zero to leave the battlefield to find her. His name is pronounced as V-2.
