Krishna
Krishna was an incarnation of Vishnu. The eighteen chapters of the sixth book (Bhishma Parva) of the epic that constitute the Bhagvat Geeta contain the advice of Krishna to the warrior-hero Arjuna, on the battlefield.Vasudeva Krishna was the son of Devaki. He was married to many woman but his first wife was Rukmini.
Bhishma
Bhishma (or Bheeshma or Devavrata or Bhishma Pitamah) was the eighth son of Kuru King Shantanu, who was blessed with wish-long life and had sworn to serve the ruling Kuru king. He is the main character of the Mahabharata as it is his struggle to protect and bring unity between the kauravas and the pandavas.
Amba-Shikhandini
Shikhandi had been born in an earlier lifetime as a woman named Amba. She was taken by force by Bhishma from their Swayamvara. He presented them to Satyavati for marriage to Vichitravirya, the king of Hastinapur. Bhishma sent Amba with grandeur Salva's place when he got to know that she loves Salva. But Salva rejected her. Amba then returned to Bhishma and demanded that he marry her. He declined since he had already taken a vow of celibacy. Enraged that she was going to be an unmarried woman, she swore to kill him. In the battle of Kurukshetra, Bhishma recognised him as Amba reborn, and not wanting to fight 'a woman', lowered his weapons. Knowing that Bhishma would react thus to Shikhandi, Arjuna hid behind Shikhandi and attacked Bhishma with a devastating volley of arrows. Thus, Shikhandi's role was instrumental in Bhisma's death.
Kunti and Gandhari
Kunti : In Hindu mythology, Kunti also called Pritha, was the biological daughter of Shurasena,a Yadava, the sister of Vasudeva, the foster daughter of her cousin King Kunti-Bhoja, the wife of King Pandu of Hastinapur and the mother of King Karna of Anga and King Yudhisthira of Indraprastha.Before Kunti married Pandu, she bore Karna to Surya, the solar deity. She later married Pandu and bore Yudhisthira, Bhima and Arjuna. Her story is told within the Bhagavata Purana, wherein she speaks on the philosophy of devotion to her nephew Krishna, known as Bhakti yoga. After the death of her husband, Kunti did not commit sati, but his other wife Madri did. Kunti took care of Nakula and Sahadeva,the sons of Madri and loved them more than her own sons.
Gandhari : Gandhari : She was an incarnation of Mati, the Goddess of Intelligence, as the daughter of Subala, the king of Gandhara. Gandhari voluntarily blindfolded herself throughout her married life. Her husband Dhritarashtra was born blind, and on meeting him and realizing this, she decided to share the pain of her blind husband. Gandhari bore a hundred sons, (collectively known as the Kauravas), and one daughter. Gandhari made a single exception to her blindfolded state, when she removed her blindfold to see her eldest son, Duryodhana. She poured all her power into that one glance, rendering Duryodhana's entire body.
Arjuna
Arjuna is the third of the Pandavas, the sons and princes of Pandu, who, with Krishna is considered as the main hero of Mahabharata. In his role in the Mahabharata, Arjuna is a key part of the Bhagavad Gita, which is perhaps the best known sacred Hindu text in the West. Arjuna was considered the finest archer and a peerless warrior by many notable figures in the Mahabharata. He was the student of Drona. Married multiple times, Arjuna married Draupadi, Subhadra, Uloopi, and Chitrangada. His children included Shrutakirti, Abhimanyu, Babruvahana, and Iravan.
Karna
Karna was one of the greatest warriors whose martial exploits are recorded in the Mahbhrata, an admiration expressed by Krishna and Bhishma within the body of this work. Karna was the son of Surya (a solar deity) and Kunti. He was born to Kunti before her marriage with Pandu. Karna was the closest friend of Duryodhana and fought on his behalf against the Pandavas (his brothers) in the famous Kurukshetra war. Karna fought against misfortune throughout his life and kept his word under all circumstances. Many admire him for his courage and generosity. It is believed that Karna founded the city of Karnal.
Shakuni
Shakuni also known as Saubala, was the prince of Gandhara, later to become the King after his father's death and one of the main villains in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. He was the brother of Gandhari and hence Duryodhana's maternal uncle. He is believed to be an extremely intelligent but devious man. Shakuni is often credited as the mastermind behind the Mahabharata war. Shakuni had two sons named Uluka and Vrikaasur.
Draupadi
Draupadi, is the "emerged" daughter of King Drupada of Panchla and the wife of the five Pandavas. When Yudhisthira becomes the king of Hastinapura at the end of the war, Draupadi (again) becomes the queen of Indraprastha. She is also variously referred as K (or Krishnaa, meaning one of darker complexion), Panchali (meaning one from the kingdom of Panchala), Yajnaseni (meaning one born from a Yajna or fire-sacrifice), Mahabhaartii (great wife of the five descendants of Bharata) and Sairandhri (literally: an expert maid, her assumed name during her second exile in which she worked as Virat kingdom's queen Sudeshna's hair-stylist). She had five sons, one by each of the Pandavas: Prativindhya, Sutasoma, Srutakirti, Satanika, and Srutakarma. She is described in the Mahabharata as being extraordinarily beautiful, unsurpassed by any other woman of her time. Draupadi is one of the Panch-Kanya (The Five Virgins) of the ancient Hindu epic, as is her mother-in-law Kunti.
Duryodhan
Duryodhana was the eldest son of the blind king Dhritarashtra by Queen Gandhari, eldest of the one hundred and one Kaurava brothers, and younger cousin to Yudhisthira. Yuddhistira was the Crown Prince of the Mahajanapada of Kuru, while Duryodhana was simply the son of the king. When Dhritarashtra's wife Gandhari's pregnancy continued for an unusually long period of time, she beat her womb in frustration. This caused a hardened mass of grey-coloured flesh to issue from her womb. Gandhari was very shocked and upset. She implored Vyasa, the great sage who had blessed her with one hundred sons, to redeem his words. Vyasa divided the ball of flesh into one hundred and one equal pieces, and put them in pots of ghee, which were sealed and buried into the earth for one year. At the end of the year, the first pot was opened, and Duryodhana emerged.
