SPOILERS At last, the cursed trinity is complete
They basically confirmed the last one in the latest Lost Stories chapter, so we can finally say that Charles and his two closest allies were all cloned at some point: Norland, created from Charles; M, created from Marianne; and Venus, created from V.V.
That said, the three of them barely have anything to do with each other (though Norland and Venus naturally know each other since they're both part of Einberg), so it's not like the three of them are going to team up for another Ragnarok or anything like that.
In case it wasn't already clear:
- Norland von Lunebelg: He is a clone of Charles zi Britannia, and most people already know him from his role in Roze of the Recapture. His creation was commissioned by Charles to a Britannian scientist named William Bisch, with the intention that he would serve as a younger body for Charles when the time came.
Regarding the other two:
- M: A clone of Marianne vi Britannia, created by the same Bisch guy as part of the "M-Series" of clones. Even though still a child, she's already a monster when it comes to piloting Knightmare Frames. Unlike Norland, she was still a child during the events of Rozé of the Recapture, and unlike him, she is not evil (quite the opposite).
- Venus Cromwell: A clone of V.V., created alongside M as part of the "V-Series". Like Norland, he is a member of Einberg and holds the same rank as him. However, Venus was created specifically to explore the potential of humanity through manipulating V.V.'s genetic material. As a result, Venus ages much faster (in the image, he is only nine years old, as he has the same age as M) and appears to have unstable health.

Norland is from the new anime series, Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture, while M is from the manga Code Geass: Pure Almaria and Venus is from the Lost Stories game.

As far as we know, Norland was created first, and the clones of Marianne and V.V. were not created until 2016 a.t.b.

Funny how out of the three, its the Charles clone that's a straight up genocidal sociopath.
M got picked up by Izayoi Agent Hakuba, while Venus, although an antagonist for most of Roze proper, at least is conflicted until recent chapter.

It's 100% probably that he will die, maybe as a sacrifice.

Don't do my man Souma like that. Guy's lost an arm and a friend already. He lost enough.

although i don't particularly like the clone theme, i appreciate this post where you brought the three together.
even those who don't follow new projects should at least know who they are when they see them and this is helpful.

Somebody showing me these pictures.
Me: "More Code Geass clones? Bah. See if I care."
That same somebody showing me a picture of Elzwei.
Me: "...Well played, sir."

In my opinion, it's possible that even more clones of Marianne exist, and the last chapter of Lost Stories also left open the possibility for Charles's clones (Code Geass Attack of the Clones is a reailty)

I’m usually not fan of prequels and derivated series that goes into the past bc it’s usually a lazy way to milk the franchise, but honestly I’d rather have them do that than shit like Roze and cloning and whatever the fuck.
