Characters and rivals

Wikipedia’s plot names the campaign leads. The rival index names the people you trade with or fight. A “which character” search does not come with a balance patch, so this page lists roles and stops.

Around them: Emperor Lucius Augustus, Gnaeus Firmius Calidus, Voada of the Scathach, Epistrategos Heron, Decimus, Kandis of Kashta, Caecilia, Athr Iorgwyn, Manx, Procurator Corvinus, Valeria, and Diana.

Questions

Who should I pick?

No official ranking. The campaign page records the choice and the length, not a winner.
