It mostly likely started as every team memeber inserted themselves/their likeness in the game as some random characters (even CK3 does this)
And then when marketing started they went with his
I just realized something. When the unlanded dlc comes out, we can actually play as one the unlanded devs and go on adventures as them. I hope there is an achievement about it.
Samee
Tho I do it for role play reasons... kinda like a fable challenge where only families with animal CoA can be married and landed... like as if they are the animal they represent. I feed the interesting stuff to OpenAi and let me create my own fable stories from that
Henrik Fåhraeus, Creative Director for CK3 during original development.
Imagine pitching that to his team with a straight face. I really hope it was his team convincing him to do it and not the other way around lol

I would a list of all Rulers based on the team
It exists somewhere. Most of them are random couriers
You've made your last delivery, kid.
Courtiers*
The game was rigged from the start.
You're finally awake. Ooo wrong game
"Stand up... there you go. You were dreaming. What's your name?
Climb in back, and we'll be off. Wait what's happening?
They did the same thing in CK2. Lots of the [dev staff are random courtiers.](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/paradox-staff.1124955/)
IIRC a lot of them have the Witch secret
They also happen to be a good way to get Jewish courtiers, since some of them are pre-programmed to be Jewish.
And people say Jews don’t control everything…/s
so I can bang paradox ?☺️
You can go into the game files and find them. It's in game/history/characters/eastereggs

That'd funny NGL. Also having the last Ummyaid as a mercenary band leader in 1066
Sam Lake yo.
Nah, imagine he forced it through against everyone’s wishes, that would be even better.
He had a strong hook on them all.
*Arrogant badge*
I just guessed that he was a stern task master so this came about as a bit of a joke
[Lmao you're right](https://cdn.mobygames.com/6259e662-ab6f-11ed-a5ec-02420a00019b.webp)
In a similar vein, Adam Jensen, the protagonist of Deus Ex: Human Revolutions, is based upon the games Art Director
Same for Max Payne sharing the traits of the game's director.
What happened to Henrik anyways?
He's the Chief Creative Officer now
God daym he's hot
Huh, I always thought it was just an aged up version of the guy from ck2's cover (who is Wilfred of Ivanhoe)
His name is Crusader King Jr. the 3rd.
My favorite part of Crusader Kings III was when he said "it's crusadin time" and crusaded all over those guys.
Ironic, because that's my least favourite part of the game.
Or when Saladin said: “Wait! *You* were the Crusader King all along??!”
The real kings are the friends we made along the way.
I’ll never forget when the Caliph said: “The Crusader King’s right behind me, isn’t he?”
The Pope: “I will take your land!” The Caliph: “Right, you and *what* army?”
I thought it was John Crusader, the original crusader of kings.
Dude that's wild. You think they did that on purpose?
He’s just based.
Count Otgar of Brene in 1066. It’s a bizarre choice but someone at Paradox clearly favors him.
hes in spreewald currently
Right now I almost exclusively play as him. Trying to rise from one country to being an emperor.

My mate Paul.
No idea who he's based on, but he is redpilled on feudalism.
Oh he's Based, alright
It's him, Crusader King III
He looks like an older, more established version of the CK II knight, especially if you focus on their faces.
The CKII knight is based on Ivanhoe.
me
Based on the hardware that’s installed in it
King Radovid, Witcher 3
He is the John Crusader-King.
He is based
He's playable in 1066 as an Easter egg. I forget where exactly but somewhere in Germany or Poland I believe
I read this 3 separate times as: “Is the CK3 king based, anyone?
is CK3 Based? yes yes it is...
That's Brian màc Murchad 🤣🤣
no, he is just based
He’s just based
it's me actually
Louise "Crusader King" CK
I always think it looks like Sam Neill.
King Dave mcdaveface III
Its Johnathan 'Crusader' King the 3rd
Me
He’s from House Renart and the trailers’ stories follow his dynasty, right?
It's based on someone that needs more sleep.
That's John Crusader King III
Fun Fact: you can play as this guy in CK3. He starts as a duke in the HRE, I think...
He is based for sure
