TNGF
SELECTED
William the Conqueror
primary
A powerfully built man in his late 30s with a commanding presence. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with piercing blue eyes that seem to assess everything at once. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the Norman fashion, and he sports a neatly trimmed beard. A prominent scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to past battles.
Harold II
primary
A battle-worn king in his mid-40s, with a sturdy build and piercing blue eyes. His face is streaked with sweat and dirt, and his once-fine cloak is torn from the day's fighting. A golden circlet sits askew on his head, its shine dulled by the grime of battle.
Norman Knight
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, a thick beard, and piercing blue eyes. His muscular build is evident even under his chainmail, and a long scar runs from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Saxon Thegn
secondary
A broad-shouldered Anglo-Saxon nobleman in his late 30s, with a thick beard streaked with grey and battle scars visible on his forearms. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, and his piercing blue eyes show both fatigue and determination.
Norman Archer
background
A rugged Norman bowman in his late 20s, with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his hands are calloused from years of drawing bowstrings. His dark hair is cropped short beneath a simple leather cap, and his sharp eyes scan the battlefield with practiced focus.
Saxon Huscarl
background
A burly Anglo-Saxon warrior in his late 30s, with a thick beard and battle-worn face. His muscular frame is clad in heavy armor, and his arms bear the scars of previous battles. His eyes are sharp and focused, reflecting the intensity of the moment.
