==Etymology== *His English name, "Warwick", could have been inspired by the historical figure Richard Neville (aka Warwick the Kingmaker)<ref>[https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/Warwick-The-Kingmaker/ Warwick the Kingmaker]</ref>. The following explanation is largely condensed and summarized.{{spoiler|start}}Richard Neville was a military commander who worked his way up the castle hierarchy of the House of York and also (partially) lost his family in war. He held numerous important ministrative roles and was considered to a right-hand man to his father-in-law's son, King Edward IV. After many different events more-or-less regarding small betrayals, he turned his back on the King and turned his attentions to the House of Lancaster, a historically opposing house that he had fought very feverently against. A rebellion was instigated by Neville that would see the death of the widow's father and his sons, but when he threw Edward IV into prison he did not have full backing of the elite. By 1470, Edward was released and Warwick was exiled. Afterwards, he sought an alliance with the Lancastrians. He was defeated later in a battle and his struggle for power came to an end.{{spoiler|end}} *His Spanish name, "Ludovico", could come from Shakespeare's play, ''The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice'' (''Othello'' for short)<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Othello Shakespeare's play, Othello]</ref>.{{spoiler|start}}In the play, the military commander Othello is manipulated by his ensign, Iago, into suspecting his wife Desdemona of infedelity. While "Ludovico" does not come from the name "Iago", there is a figure called "Lodovico" that shows up in the play who is Desdemona's cousin.{{spoiler|end}} *Anessa and Warwick's French names ("Athéna" and "Martial") both derive from gods of war (Greek goddess "Athena"; Roman god "Mars"). *His German name, "Hektor", could possibly have come from the Trojan warrior "Hector" in Greek mythology<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector Trojan warrior Hector]</ref>.{{spoiler|start}}Hector was a Trojan prince and the greatest warrior for Troy during the Trojan War. He leads the Trojans and their allies in defense of Troy and kill countless Greek warriors, but is ultimately killed in single combat by Greek hero Achilles, who proceeds to drag his dead body around the city of Troy behind his chariot. Homer, a Greek author and poet, portrayed him as "peace-loving" and "thoughtful", "without darker motives".{{spoiler|end}}
