TNGF
SELECTED
Conrad II
primary
A gaunt, middle-aged man with a pale complexion and sunken eyes, his once-powerful frame now weakened by illness. His thinning gray hair is matted with sweat, and his face bears the deep lines of a ruler who has carried the weight of empire.
Chief Physician
primary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face and sharp, observant eyes that betray years of medical study. His greying beard is neatly trimmed, and his hands, though wrinkled, move with precision. He carries an air of authority tempered by weariness.
Bishop of Utrecht
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His thinning gray hair is neatly tonsured in the clerical fashion, and his hands are delicate yet strong from years of holding the sacraments.
Assistant Physician
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, of slight build with a pale complexion. His hands are delicate and nimble, accustomed to handling herbs and potions. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and his face is clean-shaven, reflecting the grooming standards of a medieval physician's apprentice.
Imperial Chamberlain
background
A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly stooped posture from years of bowing. His face is clean-shaven, with deep-set eyes and thin lips. His hands are delicate, accustomed to handling important documents and seals rather than manual labor.
