I have looked in to the historical figures which are based upon, the main cards within a set of cards. i have found that some of the cards are based upon more interesting characters, then the others. for example Lancelot, Hector, Athena... for these characters i will be able to explore an interesting visual language, which will cover a range of subtle references and will work well as a set.

However there also is a range of cards which have some vague character backgrounds, such as queen of diamonds, Rachel. which lacks in the amount of narrative potential compared to the likes of Jack of Clubs- Sir Lancelot.
