A community-level who's who of the Stick War series: core characters, unit leaders and notable figures.
The Stick War series is mostly about armies, but a handful of characters and leader figures stand out across its story. Specific names, roles and identities vary by game title and update, so where a detail is unsure it is marked to verify against the current version rather than guessed.
The clearest recurring “characters” are the units and their leaders. Each core unit — Swordwrath, Spearton, Magikill, Archidon and Giant — represents a recognizable role, and several have titled leaders or generals associated with them.
Later entries have featured leader figures tied to the core units, such as a Swordwrath leader, a Magikill leader, an Archidon general and a Giant Lord (verify exact names against the current game). These leaders give the anonymous units a face and a personality, tying the roster into the broader Order vs Chaos tale told on the empires page.
Beyond the core units, various titles introduce their own notable figures and side characters. Their exact identities are not always consistent across the series — verify against the current version. For the wider roster of who appears and where, the unit list and the storyline are good companions to this page.
