Queen Ursula, full name unknown, is the queen of European nation Castile D'or. After Castile D'or was on the losing side of a massive European war, Ursula was sent into exile on an island in the Atlantic Ocean. She managed to secure passage back to Castile D'or, and sought revenge on the nation of Attainia, which had claimed much of her country's territory in the war. She contrived an assassination plot on one of her own ministers who was visiting Attainia, giving her a public justification to start another war against Attainia directly. Her plan went through successfully, and Castile-D'orian forces immediately began assaulting Attainia.[1] On Ursula's orders, propaganda posters were distributed across the country, depicting Attainia as an "oppressor" and motivating nationalistic emotions in the Castile-D'orian public.[2]

A surprise major player in the war turned out to be an American named Perry Wade, also known as Lieutenant Lank, who found himself in the Attainian capital in the war's early days and took up arms against Castile D'or. Wade soon became enough of a threat for Ursula to bring him to her personal chambers. In a surprising moment, Ursula was apparently overcome with attraction and kissed Wade, but he took to spanking her in an apparent attempt to teach her a lesson. Wade escaped Ursula's castle before any reprisal. Ursula's fate, and the ultimate result of the war, is unknown.[3]
