TNGF
SELECTED
Henry III
primary
A youthful but composed 13-year-old with a slender frame that has yet to fill out with manhood. His fair complexion is flushed with the gravity of the occasion, and his light brown hair is neatly trimmed in the Frankish style. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and nervous energy.
Archbishop of Mainz
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late fifties with a gaunt face framed by a neatly trimmed white beard. His deep-set eyes convey both wisdom and authority, with a prominent nose that gives him a distinguished profile. His hands are long-fingered and delicate, accustomed to holding sacred texts.
Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a strong, upright posture. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp features and piercing blue eyes that reflect both intelligence and calculation. His hair is dark brown, streaked with grey, and neatly trimmed to just above his shoulders.
Choir Boy
secondary
A young boy of about 12 years, with a slender frame and delicate features. His fair hair is neatly trimmed just above his ears, and his pale complexion suggests he spends much of his time indoors. His bright blue eyes are wide with concentration as he sings.
Guard Captain
background
A sturdy man in his late 30s with a broad chest and a weathered face, marked by a prominent scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone. His short, dark beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with vigilance. His muscular build suggests years of military training.
