TNGF
SELECTED
Conrad II
primary
A robust man in his early 40s, with a broad, square-jawed face and a close-cropped beard that is beginning to show streaks of gray. His piercing blue eyes convey both authority and a calculating intelligence. His posture is upright, exuding regal confidence, and his muscular build suggests a warrior-king accustomed to battle.
Archbishop Aribert of Milan
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 50s, with a gaunt but dignified face, deep-set eyes that seem to peer into souls, and thin lips often pressed in solemn contemplation. His hands are long-fingered and bear the calluses of frequent prayer, while his posture exudes ecclesiastical authority.
Lombard Noble
secondary
A middle-aged man of proud Lombard lineage, with a strong, wiry build and a sharp, angular face. His dark hair is streaked with gray, and his piercing blue eyes are narrowed in scrutiny. A prominent scar runs along his left cheek, a testament to past conflicts.
Imperial Guard Captain
secondary
A seasoned warrior in his early 40s, with a muscular but lean build from years of military training. His face bears the marks of past battles—a scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone—and his piercing blue eyes constantly scan the surroundings. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and his beard is neatly trimmed, reflecting the discipline of his station.
Acolyte
background
A slender young man in his late teens with a pale complexion and short, dark brown hair that is neatly cropped in the clerical style. His hands are slightly trembling, and his large, hazel eyes dart nervously between tasks.
