Characters

Malcolm III
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s, with a warrior's build and dark auburn hair kept shoulder-length. His face bears the weathered look of a man who has spent years in battle, with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes that command attention. A faded scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone.
Abbot of Scone
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with deep-set gray eyes and a sharply defined jawline, his tonsured head showing wisps of white hair around the edges. His hands, raised to hold the crown, are long-fingered with prominent veins, suggesting a lifetime of study and prayer.
Thane of Fife
secondary
A broad-shouldered nobleman in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His thick, graying beard is carefully groomed, and his piercing blue eyes survey the scene with practiced vigilance. His right hand bears the callouses of a lifelong warrior, while his left clutches a ceremonial dagger at his belt.
Bishop of St Andrews
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight stature, with a gaunt face marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent nose, his thinning hair is tonsured in the clerical fashion. His hands are delicate, suggesting a life of scholarship rather than labor.
Highland Chieftain
secondary
A formidable warrior in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by old scars and a thick, graying beard.

Royal Guardsman
background
A broad-shouldered warrior in his early 30s, standing over six feet tall with a muscular build.
