While the new changes are great, having characters only be represented via their portraits is rather frustrating.

Since the faces aren't extremely memorable and can occur multiple times at the same time, the information wether or not a character is a general/admiral/politician, his location and name should be represented to the right of the portrait.

Right now this information is only accessible by hovering over a characters portrait, what makes searching/identifying a certain character a bit annoying.

To show what I mean, here is a example:



PS: Does anybody know what the orange icon on the faction leader means? While the respective other two stand for heir/ruler, this one has no tooltip.

I would like to know this too

That means that the character is Family Leader. In hereditary government types (i.e. empire) the faction leader is always the family leader as well. In elective government types (i.e. republic) the faction leader and the family leader might be two different people. The faction leader might in fact be a member of another party.

In anyway, you always choose the heir for your family, he might or not be faction leader.

I've been wanting this ever since launch and Power & Politics - so glad it's finally implemented!
