TNGF

SELECTED

William the Conqueror

primary

A powerfully built man in his late 30s with a broad chest and muscular frame. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a strong jawline, piercing blue eyes, and a close-cropped beard. His hair is dark brown, cut short in the Norman style, with streaks of grey beginning to show at the temples. A prominent scar runs from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone, a reminder of past battles.

Harold II

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his mid-40s with a weathered face, piercing blue eyes, and a thick beard streaked with gray. His muscular frame bears the scars of previous battles, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons.

Norman Knight

secondary

A battle-hardened warrior in his early 30s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His dark hair is cropped short beneath his nasal helmet, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with focused intensity. A thick beard covers his jaw, and a long scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone.

Housecarl

secondary

A burly, battle-hardened Anglo-Saxon warrior in his late 30s, standing tall with a muscular build honed by years of combat. His face is weathered, with a thick beard streaked with grey, and his arms bear the scars of previous battles. His piercing blue eyes are focused intently on the approaching Norman forces.

Anglo-Saxon Archer

background

A wiry man in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and a close-cropped beard. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing the longbow, and his eyes are narrowed in concentration as he takes aim. His hair is tied back with a simple leather thong to keep it out of his face during battle.
