Schneizel el Britannia is the Second Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire and the Prime Minister of Britannia. He is one of the primary antagonists of the series and a strategist on par with Lelouch, as he is the only person that Lelouch was unable to beat in chess as a child. Schneizel refers to Lelouch as the man he loves and fears the most. Schneizel is ruthless and cold as a strategist, willing to sacrifice lives without a second thought to achieve his ends, but he is also extremely charismatic and caring toward his subordinates.
