Amarendra Baahubali, Maharaja Vikramdeva’s son, was born in Mahishmati (Telugu) / Magizhmathi (Tamil). His mother (then Queen Dowager) died while giving birth to him. He was named “Baahubali” by his aunt, Rajamatha Sivagami, who later became his foster mother. She recognized his leadership qualities and announced him as the next king after he succeeded in a contest to defend the empire from the Kalakeya invasion. Though Bhallala Deva killed the Kalakeya king Inkoshi, Baahubali was announced as the next king as he showed more honor in the battle. He is envied by Bhallaladeva who manipulates Sivagami and issues an order to Kattappa to execute Baahubali for treason. He is loyal and bound by his promise even at the cost of his throne. He is the father of Mahendra Baahubali alias Sivudu. He was married to Devasena.

He is a skilled warrior with both his sword and the arrows, specializing in fighting with the battleaxe. He can shoot 3 arrows in a single string. He has good battle strategy skills, which proved useful in the battle against the Pindari tribe.

Devasena, during her visit to a temple severes Sethupathi’s fingers off with a dagger when he dares to misbehave with visiting women and her. She is shackled and produced in the court where an enraged Amarendra beheads Sethupathi for his misdeeds and as a result, both Devasena and Amarendra are banished from royal palace and are supposed to live as commoners.

As Amarendra’s fame does not decrease, Bijjaladeva and Bhallaladeva stage a conspiracy to further turn Shivagami against Amarendra. Bijjaladeva convinces Kumara Varma that Amarendra, Devasena and their unborn baby’s lives shall be threatened by Bhallaladeva’s machinations and manipulates him into entering the palace at stealth of night for assassinating Bhallaladeva to do good. However, Kumara Varma and his companions are defeated and murdered before which Kumara Varma learns that it is a conspiracy to have Shivagami pass an order to assassinate Amarendra. Shivagami, who believes that Kumara Varma is sent by Amarendra for murdering Bhallaladeva secretly passes an order to Kattappa for assassinating Amarendra as declaring it publicly would lead to an internal war.

Destined to be bound to the kingdom, Kattappa helplessly lures Amarendra into a secluded place feigning that he is in trouble where Amarendra is backstabbed and killed. After his death, what happened with his body was not revealed.

Mahendra Baahubali was born in Mahishmati on the day his father Amarendra Baahubali was executed by Kattappa and his mother Devasena was held captive by Bhallaladeva. Sivagami later flees with him from the castle to save him from Bhallaladeva and gives up her life to save him. The child is then found by Sanga and her husband belonging to a tribe who lives beyond the kingdom. The couple raises him as their own. Many years later, Mahendra climbs the waterfall and eventually enters Mahishmati. He rescues his mother Devasena and slays Bhallaladeva’s son. Mahendra Baahubali is the spitting image of Amarendra Baahubali.

Kattappa narrates the story of his heritage. Upon learning the truth, Mahendra rouses the people of Mahishmati to revolt against Bhallaladeva. In the ensuing battle, Bhallaladeva and Baahubali engage in a duel and Baahubali defeats Bhallaladeva. Baahubali’s mother, Devasena, kills Bhallaladeva by immolating him alive. Baahubali later becomes the king of Mahishmati and marries Avantika. He has similar qualities to that of his father, like being creative, loyal, realistic, practical, wise, and valiant.^[3]

Bhallaladeva (Palvaalthevan in Tamil) is the king of Mahishmati. He is a renowned fighter, Sivagami and Bijjaladeva’s only child and the older cousin-brother of Amarendra Bahubali. He is envious of Amarendra Baahubali. When he is made King, he relieves Amarendra of his official duties and later convinces Sivagami that Amarendra is trying to assassinate him. Bhallaladeva takes Devasena as a prisoner and frequently taunts her in her captive. Devasena later burns him alive on a funeral pyre she prepared for him after Mahendra Baahubali defeats him in a battle. In this way she reduces Bhallaladeva to ashes to repay for all the bad that he has done. After his death, his golden statue was disposed of by the order of king Mahendra Baahubali.

Devasena is the lead female character of the Baahubali franchise along with Sivagami. Princess of Kuntala Kingdom, Devasena is a skilled fighter and a great archer. Amarendra Baahubali falls in love with her during a visit to Kuntala kingdom. Devasena reciprocates in her feelings toward him.^[4] She is brave and bold and believes firmly in her decisions, and it is through great practice that she achieves her martial skills. Devasena marries Baahubali. Bhallaladeva wants Devasena’s hand in marriage and makes his mother Sivagami promise that he would marry Devasena. Devasena (now in love with Baahubali) rejects the marriage proposal by Bhallaladeva and chooses Baahubali instead. Furious, Sivagami declares Bhallaladeva the new king of Mahishmati.

Baahubali eventually dies at the hands of Kattappa, his trusted companion. On the day Baahubali dies, Devasena gives birth to Mahendra Baahubali. Sivagami eventually learns the truth about Bhallaladeva’s treachery. Bhallaladeva orders his men to capture Devasena while Sivagami flees with baby Mahendra in her arms.

Devasena is then held captive and tormented for the next 25 years. During her time in captivity, she prepares a funeral pyre for Bhalla. She promises that she will reduce Bhalla to ashes by burning him alive on the funeral pyre she has prepared. She would eventually be freed by her son Mahendra Baahubali (now called Sivudu/Shiva). Her son, Sivudu, after learning about his father’s heritage and demise, sets out to avenge his death.

After Mahendra defeats Bhalla in the battle, Devasena reduces Bhalla to ashes by burning him alive to death on the funeral pyre. In this way she takes her revenge. After Bhalla’s death, Devasena becomes the new Queen Mother (Rajamatha) and announces Mahendra Baahubali as the new king of Mahishmati kingdom.

Avanthika is a skilled warrior and a fighter of the rebel group. Mahendra Baahubali falls in love with her and she later accepts him after she discovers that he climbed the waterfall mountain just for her. As a guerrilla fighter, her life is devoted to a sole mission, saving Devasena from captivity in Mahishmati by Bhallaladeva.^[5]

She is rebellious, a fierce warrior who fights for what is just. Like the other female leads of the series, she is strong and independent in her decisions and opinions. She fights alongside Mahendra Baahubali during the Mahishmati revolt and protects Devasena during the trial by fire ritual at the end of the sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.

Rajamatha (Queen Mother) Sivagami Devi is the former regent of the Mahishmati kingdom. She is a skilled fighter, feared by her enemies and seen to have thwarted enemies’ plots to overthrow the kingdom. She is a true leader who treats everyone equally, including her son and nephew. She is a strong headed leader and the most powerful character in the Baahubali series, who decides the fate of Mahishmati. The first movie of the series portrays her as judicious in her decisions. The second movie of the series shows her grey side. She has her own imperfections: pride, temper and inflexibility, all of which lead her to persecute Amarendra Baahubali for marrying Devasena.

Her father was ordered to be executed for treason by Maharaja Somadeva, Bijjaladeva’s father and she was raised by her foster father Thimma. Sivagami became the foster mother of Amarendra Baahubali whose mother, her foster sister Akhila, died after giving birth to him. She assumes the guardian role of the throne until the princes are ready to rule the kingdom. Sivagami raises both her nephew Amarendra Baahubali and her son Bhallaladeva to be worthy heirs to the throne and when the time comes she decides to make one of them a king of Mahishmati. After a war with the Kalakeyas, Sivagami proclaims Baahubali as the new king of Mahishmati. She is manipulated by her husband Bijjaladeva and son Bhallaladeva into ordering Kattappa to kill Amarendra Baahubali, her nephew.^[5] Realising her mistake, she sacrifices her life in the attempt to save Mahendra Baahubali, the son of Amarendra Baahubali, from Bhallaladeva’s treachery.

Bijjaladeva (Pingalathevan in Tamil) is the husband of Sivagami and father of Bhallaladeva, and former prince of Mahishmati during the reign of his father, Somadeva. He has many bad habits, such as drinking, those being the reasons that he was replaced by his younger brother as the king of Mahishmati. Thus, he grew up resenting his brother and his family, and when Amarendra Baahubali was born, he hated him as well. After Sivagami announced Amarendra as the king, it only fed his jealousy. He may be considered the main antagonist alongside Bhallaladeva, as he is always generating hatred of Baahubali and Devasena in Bhallaladeva’s mind.

Karikala Kattappa Nadar aka Kattappa is the Commander of the King’s royal bodyguard and Capital guards. Though he is a very skilled warrior for the Crown of Mahishmati, Kattapa’s forefathers, beginning with Ugrappa, pledged their allegiance and loyalty to the rulers of Mahishmati for their assistance in avenging against Vaithalikas. He was appointed as the royal bodyguard of Bijjaladeva by the incumbent king, Somadeva, after he saved the lives of Bijjaladeva and Mahadeva (who later got the title of Vikramadeva). He was ordered by Sivagami and Bhallaladeva (then rulers) to kill Baahubali. He kills Amarendra Baahubali under order of the royals, later realizing that he was fooled. Though Kattappa is a servant of the royal family, he is addressed as “Mama” (maternal uncle) by Amarendra Baahubali & revered as a father figure by Devasena, so he is addressed as “Thatha” (grandfather) by Mahendra Baahubali. After Amarendra’s death, he wanted to free Devasena from the clutches of Bhallaladeva, which she refused. On meeting Shivudu, he revolted against the rule of Bhallaladeva under the former’s leadership.

Kumara Varma is the brother of King Jayavarma’s unnamed wife and was considered as a potential groom of Devasena. He lived with Devasena’s family and lacked self-confidence until he meets Amarendra Baahubali, who boosts his confidence during the Pindaris’ attack on the Kunthala Kingdom. He also had feelings for Devasena. He is assassinated by Bijjaladeva after having been tricked into an attempted assassination of Bhallaladeva as part of their plan to discredit Baahubali.

When Devasena stood for trial before King Bhallaladeva for cutting off his fingers, Baahubali says, “If a man touches a woman without her permission, not his fingers, but his head, should be cut off!” and thus beheads him, showing his way of dispensing justice.

For reasons unknown, Ravi is revealed to be a traitorous rogue who tries to kill Baahubali, wielding a hook and chain with a sedative poison on it.
