Who are the three main characters from the cinematic trailers? Are they the faction leaders or something? Or are they just random individuals created for the purpose of the cinematics?

I'd bet on the second, most likely random, although some say the elven chick is the Queen, but that makes no sense for a queen to be practically alone there.

They are probably just some random war leaders, I very much doubt that any of them are a leader of a faction.

I think they are meant to be a representation of players in the game, but then again do players work together when closing these "gates" although they're in different alliances? I dont know ..

They could be just random characters (and likely are) but two of them would fit almost for the descriptions of Queen Ayrenn and Jorunn the Skald-King. The third is clearly a Breton assassin after the two others.

No, the Altmer in the trailer is NOT Queen Ayrenn. Ayrenn has blonde hair, not auburn.

They are just random people.

one is Nord other is a Elf and the last one is looking like a breton

also im pretty sure that deadra is some evil character

Whoever they are they clearly pre-ordered the game as their races come from different factions, yet they're playing together

random people but each race is the same as the faction leader

Not exactly playing together, that beautiful red haired elf gets knee'd in the head by the nord.

The elf is my favorite. She was like kabaam, whoosh, bachow

The other ones to me were just meh. They can't be faction leaders because the breton died and became a necromancer or lich or something at the end, so it can't be emeric. The other two are together afaik, the nord saved the elf from the rubble, I don't think Joruun (him, yes?) would be so kind to Ayrenn

It seems that they were going to fight each other, but then, after Molag Bal's entrance, they teamed up. It would be interesting if this could happen in the game--team up with your enemies for the common good.

Anyone else want to create a character looking like the female Altmer (?). I am hoping there will be sliders for her and other notable people once the game is out.

I think I am going to try this weekend.

The last thing i wanna see is a couple of clones running around, it helps if everyone is unique.

Well, to be honest, it won't be exactly like her. Maybe change the hairstyle or color, etc. But, I think she's really pretty and would be a good basis for creating a pretty awesome looking character.

Yeah i agree, i wished in the trailer they showed one of each race, not just the three as main characters.

Probably generals and such.

They're probably officers.

The Nord is actually Jorgen Von Strangle...

None of them even looks like the faction leaders...

If I were to venture a guess, I'd say this is a loose reprensentation of faction war, and once the assassin becomes undead, you can see the how the stage will be set for a 2v1 factions situation, with the nord and the elf teaming up against the now "strongest" opposition. At least, that was my take on it.

Can't be the queen, the queen is blonde.

In one of the trailers doesn't one of the creators talk about the faction "leaders"? I may be mistaken but I know he talked about the High Elf from the trailers and who she is.
