TNGF

SELECTED

Mark Antony

primary

A powerfully built Roman general in his early 50s, with a thick neck and broad shoulders that strain against his armor. His face is weathered from decades of military campaigns, with deep-set eyes and a strong jawline covered by short, graying stubble. Dark curls, streaked with silver, are swept back from his forehead, and a scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone—a souvenir from past battles.

Cleopatra

primary

A striking woman in her late 30s with a regal bearing, almond-shaped eyes lined with kohl, and full lips. Her dark, wavy hair is adorned with a golden diadem encrusted with emeralds. Her skin is a warm olive tone, and she carries herself with an air of calculated elegance.

Centurion

secondary

A battle-hardened Roman officer in his late 40s, with a muscular build from years of military service. His face is weathered by sun and sea, with deep-set eyes that have seen countless battles. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a memento from a previous campaign. His short-cropped hair is peppered with gray, and his posture exudes authority.

Slave Girl

secondary

A young Egyptian woman in her late teens, with a slender build and olive skin. Her dark, almond-shaped eyes are wide with apprehension, and her delicate hands tremble slightly as she holds the goblet. Her black hair is neatly braided and pinned up in a simple yet elegant style, adorned with a single golden hairpin, a subtle sign of her service to Cleopatra.

Rowers

background

A group of galley slaves, predominantly men of various Mediterranean ethnicities, their bodies lean and sinewy from years of forced labor. Their skin is darkened by the sun and slick with sweat, muscles straining visibly under the effort of rowing. Many bear scars from past punishments, their faces hollow-cheeked with exhaustion.

Mark Antony By Mars' blood, hold the line! Their ships are lighter, but we'll crush them with iron!

Cleopatra The scales of Ma’at tip, Antonius. We must not let the waves decide our fate—command the left flank to withdraw.

Centurion The rowers falter, Dominus. If we slow the stroke pace, their liburnae will outflank us.

Mark Antony Pluto take their tricks! Signal the quadriremes—close ranks and ram anything flying Octavian's eagle!

Cleopatra Hear the whispers of Anubis... They have the wind. We must act before the west breeze fills their sails.

Centurion Feri! Strike hard on my mark—keep the oars steady or we're dead men!

Mark Antony One final push, my wolves! For Rome, for Egypt—for every coin in their shriveled purses!
