Duplicate Cards
No player may control duplicates of a unique character or cause them to fight each other.
This includes unique characters in play, in battle, in a side battle, face down, or in a set-aside area. Unique character cards with the same card title and the same art or with the same title and the same brigade are considered duplicates for deck building purposes; a player may have only control one of these at any time.

Players are restricted from performing optional game rules that would result in a player
controlling multiple copies of the same unique character. A card is protected from any
ability that would cause that card to become a second copy of a unique character controlled
by a single player. If a player does end up controlling multiple copies of a unique character,
all copies of that character except the original copy are discarded regardless of protection or immunity.

Note: Captured characters are not treated the same as characters and thus do not affect theserules.

Some character cards have different card titles, but are the same unique character. A player
may have only one of these in your territory, in battle, in a side battle, face down, or set-aside
at a time. When a card or special ability references a character by name, it can be applied to
any version of the named character.
