Personnages
A character refers to any person, historical or generated, that is represented personally in Crusader Kings III. Every single character is an individual, living entity that will act individually and has the potential to change history. Characters can be either noble or lowborn, and landed or unlanded.
- Noble characters are members of a dynasty.
- Lowborn characters are not members of a dynasty. If they are landed with a playable government title they will become noble and found a dynasty.
- Landed characters own at least one holding.
- Unlanded characters do not own any holdings; a character who Leases holdings (e.g. a Realm Priest) is considered an unlanded character.
All Characters are part of a certain Religion and Culture, and may have a variety of Attributes, Traits, Modifiers and Resources that further shape each individual. Some may even attempt to interact with others through Schemes.
If they are landed, they will also have Titles, Council (if they are at least a Count), a specific Government, a Lifestyle and a Court.
Appearance
Every character's physical appearance is internally determined by a DNA system, which defines how they look: body proportions, facial features, skin pigmentation, height, and hair color are all stored as DNA. It can be directly edited with the Ruler Designer. DNA is stored as dominant and recessive genes and passed on to a character's children, affecting their appearance. The appearance is further determined by age, prowess, weight, and congenital or disease traits.
A character's outfit depends on their culture, title rank, social status, and whether they are noble or lowborn.
A player can use the Barbershop to customize the hair and outfit of their character as well as those of any character inside their realm. This will override any automatic appearance.
Sexual Orientation
A character's sexual orientation determines with which gender they will gain attraction opinion and can form lover relations. It is decided when the character is around 10 years old and cannot be changed. AI characters will never try to form a relation with characters that do not match their sexual orientation. Both the initial distribution of sexual orientation and the chance for children to gain a certain sexual orientation is determined by the sexuality distribution game rule.
If the child is played by a player, there is a 20% chance that the player will get to pick the gender preference.

| Fichier:Heterosexual.png | Fichier:Heterosexual.png | Heterosexual | Opposite sex |
| Fichier:Homosexual male.png | Fichier:Homosexual female.png | Homosexual | Same sex |
| Fichier:Bisexual male.png | Fichier:Bisexual female.png | Bisexual | Everyone |
| Fichier:Asexual.png | Fichier:Asexual.png | Asexual | No one |
Opinion
Each character has an Modèle:Icon/o opinion of every other character. The Modèle:Icon/o opinion the player character holds influences the success rate of certain actions that target another character while the Modèle:Icon/o opinion of AI characters also determines their behavior towards other characters.
When a character dies, their primary heir will temporarily inherit part of the Modèle:Icon/o opinion of vassals towards the late liege, shown as Opinion of Predecessor.
- Positive opinion towards predecessor: 25% of Modèle:Icon/o opinion is inherited.
- Negative opinion towards predecessor: 50% of Modèle:Icon/o opinion is inherited.
General
General is an Modèle:Icon/o opinion modifier that affects every character, this means only Popular Opinion of Counties are independent of this modifier. See also Attributes.

Male characters aged above 65 years and female character above 50 years are not affected by attraction. Only adults (16 year old and above) can generate attraction and have attraction towards another.
These are modifiers that influence AttractionModèle:Icon/o opinion:
- +10 Trait "Brave"

Virtue & Sins
Some traits are considered virtuous or sinful in certain faiths, the opinion modifier will be dependant on the character whose faith sees certain traits as virtuous or sinful. (e,g, a Muslim who has the "Forgiving" trait would have no modifiers from other Muslims, have +10 (virtue) modifier from Christians and -10 (sin) modifier with Asatruans).
Faith Hostility
Faith Hostility is determined by the Religious Families to be Righteous/Astray/Hostile/Evil, and are then given 0/-10/-20/-30 opinion maluses, respectively.
- "Pluralist" Doctrine: -50% faith hostility opinion malus
- "Fundamentalist" Doctrine +100% faith hostility opinion malus
The opinion malus from other characters is dependant by how hostile the other faith sees that faith that you belong to as, not how hostile your faith sees their faith as.
The "Pluralist" and "Fundamentalist" Doctrines affect how much maluses to opinion they have for you, not vice-versa.
Relations
When certain requirements are met, two characters can have one of three types of relations, with each type having three levels. Relations have a great impact on how two characters act towards each other. Friendship and conflict are mutually-exclusive but neither is mutually-exclusive with love.
- Childhood relations can only be held between two child characters and might evolve into their corresponding adulthood relations when the characters reach adulthood
- Adulthood relations can be gained and lost as a result of events
- Lifelong relations can only be obtained towards characters with an existing adulthood relation and each character can have only one of each lifelong relation

Modèle:Expansion Two characters who have Modèle:Icon/n Nomadic government or the Modèle:Icon/w Way of the Nomad trait can swear a Blood Brotherhood with each other as long as they're not family members. Being Blood Siblings has the same benefits as being Friends but also gives the characters a Modèle:Icon/s Strong Hook on each other, forms an alliance, and allows choosing a Blood Brother modifier if any is available. Each character can only have one Blood Brother. The relation will end if a call to war from a Blood Brother is refused.
Tyranny
Tyranny is Modèle:Icon/o negative opinion gained by rulers who take unjust actions. It is felt by vassals and courtiers towards a liege. The maximum tyranny a character can have is 1000. Tyranny is not gained if the liege has a valid reason.

| Successfully imprisoning a character | +20 tyranny |
| Increasing feudal obligations | +20 tyranny per obligation without concession or hooks |
| Revoking title without title revocation reason | +20 tyranny |
| Retracting a vassal | +5 tyranny |
| Banishing a vassal | +5 tyranny |
| Fichier:Executioner court position.pngExecuting a vassal | +10 tyranny |

Legends
Modèle:Expansion Legends represent important deeds that a character achieved in life. The story of the legend will be written in various events as the legend is being completed. Creating a legend costs 200 Modèle:Icon/g Gold if Modèle:Icon/c Count or Modèle:Icon/d Duke, 300 if Modèle:Icon/k King and 400 if Modèle:Icon/e Emperor, and it also has a monthly maintenance cost until it is completed. Modèle:Icon/l Legitimizing legends also cost 75 Modèle:Icon/p Prestige. A legend needs at least 5 years before it can be completed or abandoned. Each legend can only be created once.
Legends are created from Legend Seeds. The primary way of obtaining Legend Seeds is by employing a Fichier:Court chronicler court position.png Court Chronicler with high Aptitude. They can also be obtained by doing certain deeds or being part of a certain dynasty.
When created, a legend can be about either the ruler creating it or to one of its close or extended family members, living or dead, as long as they are at least 16 years old. If the protagonist is another character the ruler will gain +20 Modèle:Icon/l Legitimacy if the protagonist does not have a trait considered a virtue, and +50 if it does. Creating a legend also unlocks the Commission Legend Artifact decision.
Each legend while being created will have an Fichier:Legend owner.png Owner and may have Fichier:Legend promoter.png Promoters as well. Both will gain bonuses depending on the legend type and unlock the Fichier:Spread legend intent.png Spread Legend intent for certain activities. Additional bonuses can be obtained as the legend is created.
- Fichier:Legend owner.png Owner is the ruler who starts the legend and gains the most bonuses. If the character dies any member of the same dynasty can take ownership of the legend from the Chronicle screen.
- Fichier:Legend promoter.png Promoters are rulers that promote the legend, gaining fewer bonuses but only paying half of the maintenance cost of owning it. Promoting a legend requires one of the following:
- Know the language of the legend's creator
- Neighbor with the legend's creator
- Lover or Soulmate with the legend's creator
- Friend or Best Friend with the legend's creator
Legends come in three types and three levels of quality, which together determine what benefits they give. When a legend is created it will start at Famed quality. Once it has spread to 100 Baronies it can be upgraded to Illustrious quality and will not spread further until upgraded. Once it has spread to 300 Baronies it can be upgraded to Mythical quality and will not spread further until upgraded.
