4.1 OVERVIEW
he character interface is accessible from the Character button on the Main Map. If you want to view your own dashing nobleman, you can also click on his portrait at the top-left of the Main Map. You can also access the Character Interface for any other character in the game by clicking on their portraits wherever you encounter them. Here, you will find information on your character’s personal relationships, including their family,vassals, court, allies, and any members of the court who are currently residing abroad, whether taking their education at a foreign court or a prisoner of war. You can also see your character’s titles, claims, heirs, and spouses. You also get general information about the character: their culture group and religion, their role in the world, and their attributes and traits. Hovering over any of these items will give you some additional information in a pop-up. There are three especially fascinating buttons here as well. The Wikipedia Link will take you to the Wikipedia article for that historical character, if there is one, so you can learn more about them and the situations they faced in life.
The other two buttons, Dynasty Tree and Family Tree, will take you to beautiful tables where you can view the whole family and history of your character, arranged as an interactive family tree. To their right is your dynasty’s Coat of Arms, which is distinct from any titles they may hold. Clicking on the pen-and-scroll button just to the bottom-left of the portrait will take you to the Diplomacy Interface where you can interact with that character. Right-clicking on the character’s portrait brings up several shortcut buttons, which allow you to speed through the actions you can take with that character.
