I've got two villains in my RL game who will need to have stats soon.

Short version of an involved plot:
Ulrich (top) and Elric (bottom) were the two eldest sons of Marcus, king of Solaris.
They have the same mother, but Ulrich's father is not Marcus, but actually a Shiradi, making him not heir to the throne legitimately.
Regardless, Marcus named him heir, and mostly everyone was happy, but Ulric struggled under these expectations.
Ulric and Elric assassinated their father in the night and fled to the western provinces, where their uncle Regan is giving them sanctuary.
They are using the armies of the western provinces to wage war on most everyone else (as Solaris' armies are in fact made up of westerners)
The assassination of Ulric's wife (one of the pcs threw her through a window and blamed it on another country) has caused him to declare war on some of the biggest and most powerful nations in the world, hopeful that he will die in the conflict, while Elric is concerned for his brother, but struggles with a maddening bloodlust which is spurred on by a mysterious woman at court (as is his brother's suicidal depression)
The rest of the world will most likely not survive such a massive conflict unscarred.
Originally I had planned to make Ulric a Knight/Cavalier and Elric a Rogue/Invisible Blade/Master Thrower, but really at most they'll get to 8th or 9th level before the party takes them out, so I open it up to you, how best to make an interesting fight (they'll be fought together) with memorable characters (crunch-wise, I can handle the fluff)
Also, if anyone is feeling generous, their two half-siblings could use stating out two.
Julianna- patron of a knightly order called the Twilight Guard, she is an intelligent and well-read student of the magical arts (though how this manifests could be modified). She is charasmatic, stern and a tad furious when riled, but is not the most physically powerful of people. Apparently killed, ripped apart in her chambers by some beast.
Cael- never saw much chance for the throne, as the fourth in line (Marcus believed in succession by age, not gender) to the throne, his brothers' assassination and flight and his sister's untimely death/disappearance have left him king of Solaris, though he won't rule until his 18th birthday. As far as I was originally concerned, he was an aristocrat, but perhaps if he is to play a larger part in the game, I might want to make him more skilled than that, perhaps with some dark twist?
