Fighter Nationality?

[uismeno]

Pardon me if this has already been asked. I'm gathering there will probably be some type of bio for each when the game is complete.

Getting the vibe a large number are Polish and Cossack, with the newest (Lazlo) being Hungarian. What is the nationality of each character so far?

Marie is probably French, Isabella is probably Southern Italian.

Isabella was meant to be pure Italian longsword if I remember correctly but turned into a mix of German and Italian so Italian is a good bet. I think the original 3 sabers were all variants of Polish saber so I assume they are also Polish. I'm not an expert of saber martial arts but from what I have been told, the nationality of the fighter is the same as the nationality of the martial art.

Jacek is polish I think. It's a polish name and afaik he is based on a real polish novel writer.
Barabasz is probably ukrainian, according to his haircut.

The historical Jacek Dydyński was from Niewistka in the then Poland-Lithiania, now modern-day Poland.

The historical Iwan Barabasz was a Zaporozhian Cossack from Cherkasy in the then Poland-Lithiania, now modern-day Ukraine.

Looking at a teaser for one of Komuda's books of fiction, Gedeon Siemieński moved from the Polish part of Poland-Lithuania to the Ukrainian part because his uncle lived in the Ukrainian part, and meets Iwan Barabasz in Ukraine.

(might be some mistakes from looking through machine-translated Polish)

I read somewhere that Gedeon is hungarian, but I have no idea if it's true.

I also assumed that Gedeon was Gedeon Siemieński from Komuda's book but last trailer shown us his family name is Wolski, either way he is polish.

I still think he is Gedeon Siemieński. His model is used as a placeholder for a random Nobleman, this same way Laszlo is every Hajduk and Ivan is this random Cossack walking around the mannor. It is placeholder and maybe it will be replaced, maybe it will stay this way. Maybe they will have different skins, it's not sure. But I strongly belive he's Siemieński and the model is used as a placeholder.

In the last video about customization, there's something about changing faces aswell as clothes, so more varied characters that don't reuse the main character models are likely in the future.
