Roles:
Redmond Barry - An opportunistic Irish lad determined to advance his station in the world. He attempts to kill every night, but the kill only succeeds if it targets someone of the next higher class (Barry starts as a peasant, so first must kill a soldier, and then a noble.) When such a kill succeeds, Barry advances to the class of the person killed. In order to win, Barry must be alive and at the highest social station at the end of the game.
Lords and Ladies
Lady Lyndon - Wealthy Noblewoman on whom Barry has his eye. Has BTSC with Reverend Runt
Sir Charles Lyndon - Lady Lyndon's infirm husband. He is too weak to do much, but Barry cannot advance to the rank of Nobility while he lives
Lord Bullingdon - Barry's son-in-law who hates and resents the Irish commoner who would usurp his family's good name and squander their fortune. Each night, he searches for Barry. If he finds him, they have a duel which only one can survive.
The Chevalier de Balibari - A professional gambler. Each night he selects another player and wagers a number of lynch votes of his choosing. A game of chance commences and the loser takes that many lynch votes on the following day. The Chevalier cheats, so the odds are slightly in his favor.
The Lords and Ladies win when the Captains are dead.
The Captains
Captain Potzdorf - Officer in the Prussian army. He kills every night and if he is killed his power moves to someone else.
Captain John Quin - Barry's rival for the affections of Nora. Has BTSC with Nora.
Captain Grogan - An old friend of Barry's and also an officer in the British army. Cannot be killed by Barry
Captain Feeney - A famous highwayman. Each night he can rob one player of their vote and use it for his own purposes.
The Captains have BTSC with each other and win when they outnumber the remaining players.
Peasants, Servants and Children
Reverend Samuel Runt - Longtime tutor to the Lyndon children. Loyal to Lady Lyndon and has BTSC with her.
Belle, Barry's Mother - A doting mother willing to do anything for her boy. Has BTSC with Barry.
Nora Brady - Barry's first love, but rejects him in favor of the wealthy Captain Quin. Has BTSC with Captain Quin.
Bryan Lyndon - Barry's beloved son. If he dies, Barry turns to drink and drops a rank in the hierarchy.
Lischen - A German peasant maid. She can provide nourishment to weary travelers, which they can use to remove lynch votes from themselves.
The Peasants, Servants and Children win when all the Captains are dead.
