TNGF
SELECTED
William the Conqueror
primary
A powerfully built Norman duke in his late 30s, standing tall at approximately 5'10" with a muscular frame honed by years of warfare. His face is weathered but handsome, framed by short brown hair and a neatly trimmed beard. Piercing blue eyes burn with determination beneath his nasal helm. A prominent scar runs across his left cheekbone - a souvenir from earlier battles.
Harold II
primary
A battle-weary Anglo-Saxon king in his mid-40s, with a muscular build hardened by years of warfare. His face is streaked with sweat and blood, his piercing blue eyes reflecting both determination and exhaustion. His long, unkempt blonde hair is matted beneath his dented nasal helmet.
Norman Knight
secondary
A powerfully built Norman cavalryman in his late 20s, his face obscured by a nasal helm with riveted mail aventail protecting his neck. His broad shoulders strain against the weight of his hauberk, the chainmail darkened with mud and blood. A thick beard protrudes beneath his helm, and his eyes burn with battle fury.
Anglo-Saxon Housecarl
secondary
A grizzled warrior in his late 30s with a muscular build from years of combat. His face is weathered, with a thick beard streaked with gray and a deep scar running from forehead to cheekbone. His hands are calloused from gripping weapons, and his forearms bear old battle tattoos.
Norman Archer
background
A wiry, sun-browned man in his late twenties with close-cropped dark hair and a sparse beard. His arms show the defined musculature of a lifelong archer, with calloused fingers gripping his bow. A diagonal scar runs from his left temple to jawline.
