Apparently, there's also an African "scholar and physician" from Mali in the game as well (and, at that, as one of the game's primary characters as far as I've heard). The director and lead writer himself proclaimed previously on Twitter that "there were no Black people in medieval Bohemia" when asked about racial diversity, and, in an eight-year-old YouTube comment, in response to a request for homosexual representation, stated that Henry was
not a homosexual or "bi". Yet, it's clear now that he regressed on the game's historical accuracy for the sake of money. One may wonder, "why is this the case?"
Well, the thing is, Warhorse Studios itself was acquired almost six years ago by a Swedish holding company known as Embracer Group (this acquisition was
after the release of the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance). A quick gander at the company's
positions on such social matters reveals the apparent cause in this sequel's decline in historicity.

So, there you have it.
