Character notes use frontmatter as the structured source of truth, then present the useful parts in the body:

Header image, portrait, display name, race/subrace, class/spec, and faction are shown in the visual header.
The Character Sheet callout shows identity and vital data that is not already repeated elsewhere.
Relationships, Affiliations, Timeline, Hooks, and Writings remain normal Markdown body sections.

When changing a character’s Header Background, update the frontmatter first, then run:

When changing identity or vital frontmatter shown in the character sheet, run:

Current faction belongs in Faction.
All memberships, former loyalties, houses, orders, and political ties belong in Affiliations.
Race means species or fantasy race. Subrace covers origin, ethnicity, ancestry, or cultural variant. Use N/A when no subrace applies.
Undead characters should have Condition: Undead; death knights are undead.
Use city/capital header images when a race or subrace has a clear capital. Use shared headers where the people share a homeland, such as the Dracthyr.
