The 12 playing card characters are introduced as follows:
1. Diamond K: Caesar, a famous Roman general and politician. Caesar is depicted in profile on Roman Empire coins. Since then, among the four King Ks, only the red-square king is in profile, with his hair curled inwards and holding a battle ax, representing power.
2. King of Hearts: Charlemagne, King of the Franks. The clerk who first used a chisel to carve his portrait on a wooden board accidentally shaved off the beard on his upper lip when the chisel slipped. Since then, the King of Hearts has been printed based on this painting. Thus, only among Hearts is the King without a beard, with his hair curled inwards and holding his sword behind his head.
3. King of Clubs: Alexander, he first established his dominance over all of Greece, and then destroyed the Persian Empire. On the vast land spanning Europe and Asia, a huge empire was established that stretched from Greece and Macedonia in the west, to the Indus River Basin in the east, to the first waterfall of the Nile in the south, and to Babylon as its capital in the north.
4. King of Spades: David, the father of Solomon, the king of Israel in the 10th century BC. He was good at playing the harp and wrote many hymns in the Bible, so there is often a picture of a harp on the King K card, and his hair is curled outward.
5. Queen of Hearts: Her name is Judith. She is from Bavaria, Germany, and married Charles I of the Stuart dynasty of England. Later, Charles I was sentenced to death for his brutal rule, and Judith remarried.
6. Club Q: Named Akinni. It means such a story: the British Lancastrian royal family is symbolized by red roses, and the York royal family is symbolized by white roses. After the War of the Roses, the two royal families took over the British throne and tied their roses together. So the queen holds roses in her hands.
7. Queen of Spades: It is Pallas Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war. Among the four queens, this queen is the only one holding a weapon.

9. Jack of Hearts: La Hire, the attendant of Charles VII. Rahel was also an invincible general who followed Joan of Arc. His name is the Old French word for "wrath." His famous saying: "Whatever you want Rahel to do for you, you have to do for him; if you are Rahel, you are God." He holds a battle ax behind his back and holds a white ribbon.

Unfortunately, he died in the battle in the Sri Lankan mountains. The sword is held on the side, unsheathed.
12. Diamond J: Charlemagne's attendant Roland (the hero sung in the French epic "Song of Roland", the head of the twelve paladins, the Paladin Roland). Another theory is that the Trojan hero Hector in the Iliad, Prince of Troy and the first warrior of Troy, was called the "Walls of Troy".
