## Characters

### Main Characters

#### Amarendra Baahubali-

The compassionate and noble son of king Vikramadeva. His parents died around the time of his birth so he was taken in by Sivagami and loved by the people in his young adulthood for his kindness and positivity, making his brother Bhallaladeva and Lord Bijjaladeva jealous.

#### Bhallaladeva-

Sivagami's birth son, whom unlike Baahubali is greedily obsessed with power and control. He does a good job at hiding this trait and secretly hates his adoptive brother, plotting to kill him and take over the kingdom multiple times. His physical strength is unrivaled and he wields a mace in battle.

#### Sivagami-

The queen of Mahishmati who was formally a subject before winning position into the royal family. She is close friends with Kattappa and has arranged marriage with Lord Bijjaladeva. She's heavily underestimated in her authority and because she's a woman, has been plotted against. Although not the strongest, she is authoritative and can stand her ground in a fight. She's not typically a warrior but carries a dagger in case.

#### Bijjaladeva-

The deranged prince of Mahishmati, older brother of Vikramadeva and Sivagami's husbad. He is a cranky older man with a deformed hand and a mentality of arrogance and hate. For this reason he was never granted king status even during Sivagami's time, and he will do anything for his son Bhallaladeva and whatever it takes to dishonor Baahubali.

#### Kattappa-

The latest in a long line of decent of Mahishmati's royal servant warriors. He was Bijjaladeva's right hand and serves the royal family, a kind uncle figure to Amarendra and Bhalla. He is a dedicated, skilled, and powerful warrior who has survived fights and wounds that normal warriors would normally fall to. He wields a sword made of Mahishmati steel and is the commander and general of Mahismati's army.

### Other Characters

#### Avinash-

A close friend of Bhalla who was against Baahubali's popularity, and a member of the heirs of Mahishmati. He was drowned by Bhallaladeva as an object to take his anger out on for his jealousy towards his brother.

#### Yamagni-

Princess and eventual queen of Rudragni. She is compassionate and kind similar to Baahubali and accidentally poisons her father which she intended for her brother Vaarah. She remains close to Baahubali and eventually overthrows her brother.
