A close friend of Francisco and a skilled swordsman who had lost the use of his right eye. He is also Juliet's fencing teacher, and according to him, a sword reflects the soul of its owner. His preferred weapons are axes or polearms. His scarred visage originated from protecting a younger rebellious Juliet from receiving punishment from members of the Carabinieri. Though he blames his own foolhardiness for the blow, Juliet's frustration from that time gave birth to her alter ego, The Red Whirlwind. After the Montague raid against the Capulet supporters, he goes into hiding until Juliet is captured. When he and Francisco go to rescue her, he convinces Juliet that her life is worth saving. Later it is hinted in episode 16 that he may have romantic feelings toward Juliet. However, like Francisco, he too helped Romeo reach Juliet in her final moments. After Juliet's sacrifice, he settles down as a grocer of his own vegetable store. (Souce: Wikipedia)
Captain of the Capulet Guards who saved Juliet and Cordelia from death fourteen years ago. Now a priest, he looks after Juliet, though he is exasperated by her antics. It is Conrad who reveals to Juliet her secret heritage on the day of her sixteenth birthday when he presents to her the sword of the House of Capulet. He fights with a sword in battle. He later acts as the de-facto leader of the Capulet faction, planning an assassination attempt on Lord Montague (he wants to only kill the Duke so that less blood is spilled); however, after being betrayed by his old friend Camio, he is injured in a Montague raid against the Capulet supporters. Since his escape, he has been under the care of Ariel. When he recovers, he presents the Capulet family sword to Juliet again, reviving her resolve for the Capulet's cause. When Juliet disappears after Montague's defeat, he orders Francisco and Curio to search for her. He is evacuated from the castle during the battle for Juliet. During the finale, he tends to an iris flower memorial with Antonio, wondering if his past actions with Juliet were fair. (Souce: Wikipedia)
Laertes Montague is the ruthless, Machiavellian Duke of Neo Verona. During the premise of the show, he orders the massacre of the House of Capulet and seized control of Neo Verona, spreading lies about the corruption of the Capulets to justify himself without persecution. As the ruler of Neo Verona, he believes it is the right of the House of Montague to exploit and oppress the common people, since the noblemen are superior to them. He is Romeo's father but acts coldly towards his son, only using him as a pawn for political gain. He also seems to be among the few who know the secrets of the Escalus Tree, along with its caretaker Ophelia and a mysterious old man whom Romeo and Juliet found in the country. Tybalt divulges the known origins of his father privately to Juliet. Montague was originally born into poverty. His mother was a prostitute and therefore abandoned by his father. On her deathbed, she confesses to her young son that his father was a Capulet and expressed wishes for him to live in nobility. Her death greatly sparks his unrelenting and ferocious grudge against the Capulet name and his ambitions for becoming Duke. Sometime afterwards, young Laertes caught the eye of the Montague family whom at the time was headed by a pederast lord, and he was adopted into the clan. In his older adolescence, he poisoned his benefactor's food and became head of the family. He then met Tybalt's mother (a Capulet woman who he later heard died during the massacre) at a ball and used her to learn more of the Capulets, specifically about the Great Tree Escalus. After impregnating Tybalt's mother, he then left her and married Portia. When he learned of Romeo's love for Juliet, Montague attested that his son was tricked to turning against him. His son's continuous declarations for his feelings for Juliet angers him and he sent Romeo to the mines as punishment. With Mercutio's adoption, it's assumed that Montague has decided to disown his son, made evident with the "accidental death" of Titus. In the final moments of his reign, he is cornered by Tybalt, Romeo, and Juliet's forces in his throne room. No longer surrounded by anyone loyal to him, he curses Escalus for Capulet's bane. After he listens to Juliet's offer to peacefully exile himself and forsake his status from Neo Verona, he relents, apparently ready to agree. Before he could voice his opinions deeper, Mercutio stabs his back and he collapses. As he lies in Juliet and Romeo's arms, he wonders why no one loved him yet also says that he wanted to be the most feared in the world. He dies soon after. (Source: Wikipedia)
An ambitious, sly, snarky person who wishes to become Montague's heir. He is contemptuous of the common people and is charged by Montague to spy on Romeo. He also seems to have some degree of interest in Hermione, but whether he has honest feelings for her or desires to use her as a pawn in his possible plans remains debatable. Mercutio's desire for power appears to stem from his resentment towards his father, Titus, who doesn't live up to his son's expectations as a Montague advisor. Montague is aware of his disdain for his father and encourages - none too subtlety - Mercutio to kill Titus, but he doesn't do it. A few days after Romeo's banishment, Mercutio agrees to be adopted as Montague's new heir but is unprepared for the bloody initiation, whose climax was Titus' death at the hands of Montague. Paralyzed by fear, Mercutio could not voice out for help nor assist his father's peril, and later swore his loyalty to the bloodied Montague. He tries to fit the mold of Montague's heir but, in truth, the event of his father's death has traumatized him and his guilt over doing nothing envelopes him. The obvious collapse of Montague's reign drives him to do what he thinks will get him the most praise: he stabs Montague and "saves" Juliet. Expecting to be called a hero, he is stricken when Tybalt dismisses him and leaves from the scene in mad laughter. (Souce: Wikipedia)
Benvolio's father, leader of the House of Frescobaldi and an old friend of Conrad's, who held reservations concerning Montague's rule. He was a member of the moderate faction of the Montague dictatorship, with a large amount of administrative authority as the mayor of Neo Verona. He is later stripped of his title and nobility and even slated for assassination by Duke Montague, for allowing the Red Whirlwind to create civil discontent throughout Neo Verona and for speaking out against Montague and his efforts at instituting permanent martial law throughout the city. Juliet (as Odin), Francisco and Curio along with Tybalt thwart the attempt at his life and takes his family into hiding. During the denouement of the show, he is reestablished as mayor.

A mysterious woman who tends to the Great Tree Escalus. She has a sad, doll-like face with some marks on her forehead and cheeks, and speaks in a rather polite and mysterious manner. She appears to be ageless as she looks the same as she did fourteen years ago. She eventually explains that Escalus is fading and has implanted its seed inside Juliet, telling the girl the tree's will late in the series. She is a part of the tree, and underneath her robes are wood-like limbs and skin. During the climax, she steals Juliet away and forcibly begins the rites of sacrifice, determined for the Tree's revival with little care for interruptions or alternatives. In the final battle for Juliet's safety, she mortally wounds Romeo shortly before being vanquished by him. Her name is likely a nod to the heroine of Shakespeare's famous tragedy, Hamlet. [Wikipedia]
Romeo's fiancee. She seems to be a stand-in for Count Paris (from the original), though she is Romeo's fiancee, siding with the Montagues, instead of a relative to Duke Escalus and Juliet's suitor.
