TNGF
SELECTED
Conrad II
primary
A robust man in his early 40s, with a broad frame and a commanding presence. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes that convey both intelligence and determination. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and he sports a short, well-groomed beard.
Archbishop of Mainz
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a sharply defined jawline and deep-set gray eyes that convey both wisdom and authority. His thinning silver hair is neatly tonsured in the clerical fashion, and his long fingers bear several ornate ecclesiastical rings.
Duke of Bavaria
secondary
A robust man in his late 40s with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes that betray both intelligence and ambition. His dark brown hair is streaked with gray, worn slightly longer than fashionable, and his beard is neatly trimmed. His broad shoulders and military bearing suggest a lifetime of martial training.
Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a neatly trimmed beard and sharp, observant eyes. His face bears the marks of a life spent in both courtly intrigue and occasional military campaigns, with a faint scar running along his left cheekbone.
Cathedral Guard
background
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with military precision. A faded scar runs diagonally across his left cheekbone, evidence of past service.
