Lelouch Lamperouge

Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese), Johnny Yong Bosch (English)
Lelouch Lamperouge (ルルーシュ・ランペルージ Rurūshu Ranperūji?) is the protagonist of Code Geass. He is originally born as Lelouch vi Britannia (ルルーシュ・ヴィ・ブリタニア Rurūshu vi Buritania?), the Eleventh Prince of the Britannian Imperial Family and seventeenth in line for the throne. His father is the Britannian Emperor, Charles zi Britannia, and his mother was Marianne vi Britannia. For questioning his father's cold apathy of his mother's assassination and his sister Nunnally's disablement, Lelouch and Nunnally were sent to Japan as political hostages. Taken into the residence of the Prime Minister of Japan, Lelouch and Nunnally soon formed a strong friendship with the Prime Minister's son, Suzaku Kururugi. When Britannia invaded Japan, he went into hiding with his sister, taking refuge with the Ashford family. Seven years later, he discovers a girl known as C.C., who grants Geass, an ability that allows him to command any person to follow his subsequent order. Seeking to build a peaceful world for his sister, he pursues the destruction of Britannia under the guise of his masked alter-ego, Zero. As Zero, he creates a military force known as the Black Knights, formed from the members of a group originally known as the Japanese Resistance. Although Lelouch serves as a brilliant strategist in the organization he created, he is oblivious to his admirers. 

Suzaku Kururugi

Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (Japanese), Yuri Lowenthal (English)
Suzaku Kururugi (枢木 スザク Kururugi Suzaku?) is Lelouch's childhood friend and son of Japan's last prime minister, Genbu Kururugi. In contrast to Lelouch, he claims that achieving results by wrong or illegal methods is meaningless, wanting to change Britannia from within. As such, he is aligned against Zero's Black Knights, but nevertheless intent on changing the Britannian Empire for the better. Suzaku is an Honorary Britannian and part of the Britannian army, later becoming the pilot of the experimental Knightmare FrameLancelot as a member of the R&D Division. In the second season, Suzaku is granted a position in the Knights of the Round by the Emperor for his capture of Zero.  

C.C.

Voiced by: Yukana (Japanese), Kate Higgins (English)
C.C. (シー・ツー Shī Tsū?, pronounced "C Two") is an immortal "witch" who bestows the power of Geass upon Lelouch under the condition he grants her greatest wish. She oversees Lelouch's activities and occasionally assists in his plans in order to ensure that he remains alive to fulfill their contract.  

Kallen Stadtfeld


Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu (Japanese), Karen Strassman (English)
Kallen Stadtfeld (カレン・シュタットフェルト Karen Shutattoferuto?) is a half-Britannian, half-Japanese teenage girl. Her father is Britannian and her mother is an Eleven; her father comes from a prestigious Britannian family, known as the Stadtfeld family, which Kallen benefits from. She attends the Ashford Academy, where she pretends to be ill to explain her prolonged absences. She later becomes a member of its student council and one of the school's most outstanding students. In school, she is known by her legal name but she prefers her mother's maiden name Kallen Kōzuki (紅月カレン Kōzuki Karen?) during her revolutionary activities. Kallen is a member of a Japanese resistance cell originally led by her brother, who died before the series, and later joins Zero's Black Knights. She is the group's most talented pilot and on par with the Knights of the Round. Throughout the series, her devotion to Zero is unmatched among any of the other members of the Black Knights. She is one of the few people that understands that Zero Requiem was intended to turn the whole world against Lelouch, creating a global catharsis when he has himself killed. 






ASHFORD ACADEMY
Ashford Academy (アッシュフォード学園 Asshufōdo Gakuen?) is a Britannian private academy in Tokyo, owned and operated by the Ashford Foundation (アッシュフォード財団 Asshufōdo Zaidan?), a philanthropic organization involved predominantly in the supply of educational services, founded by the formerly noble Ashford House. It is attended by Lelouch and Nunnally, who, owing to their mother's past relationship with the Ashfords, have been granted free residence within the campus's Student Government Clubhouse. In the manga, it is implied that the academy itself was once Japanese owned and operated. 
Nunnally Lamperouge
Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka (Japanese), Rebecca Forstadt (English)
Main article: Nunnally Lamperouge
Nunnally Lamperouge (ナナリー・ランペルージ Nanarī Ranperūji?) is Lelouch's younger sister, originally born as Nunnally vi Britannia. Injured in her mother Marianne's brutal assassination, she is wheelchair-bound and blind from psychological trauma. It is on her behalf that Lelouch pursues the destruction of Britannia and the forging of a peaceful world. Following her return to the Imperial Family in the second season, she retakes her birth name, Nunnally vi Britannia, and is at her own request appointed Viceroy of Area 11.
Milly Ashford
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (Japanese), Julie Ann Taylor (English)
Milly Ashford (ミレイ・アッシュフォード Mirei Asshufōdo?) is the granddaughter of the school superintendent, and president of the Student Council. Milly enjoys teasing Shirley and is eager to discover Lelouch's weaknesses. Milly is aware of Lelouch's identity as a former prince of Britannia, her family having supported Empress Marianne. Marianne's assassination led to the family's nobility status being stripped. Consequently, the Ashfords arrange for Milly to marry Earl Lloyd Asplund to restore it. After the events of the first season, Milly remains a student on campus because she failed her examinations, although it is noted that she did so on purpose to remain on campus with her friends. In the second season, she eventually earns enough credits to graduate and after graduating she becomes a reporter on the local TV news and breaks off her engagement with Lloyd in an effort to become more true to herself.
Rivalz Cardemonde
Voiced by: Noriaki Sugiyama (Japanese), Brian Beacock (English)
Rivalz Cardemonde (リヴァル・カルデモンド Rivaru Karudemondo?) is one of Lelouch's friends, usually driving Lelouch around on his motorbike as an ante for their bets on chess games. He has a part-time job as a bartender/waiter and carries unrequited love for Milly Ashford, especially when it is announced that she is going through a marriage interview. Shown in-series and in the DVD-exclusive bonus material, Rivalz forms a fast friendship with Suzaku after he joins the student council at Lelouch's request. Rivalz's real surname is not Cardemonde, which is his mother's maiden name that he uses after his parents became estranged.[3]
