William the Conqueror

primary

A robust, middle-aged man of average height with a muscular build, his face weathered from years of campaigning. His most striking feature is his piercing blue eyes, which command attention. His dark brown hair is cut short in the Norman style, and he sports a well-groomed beard. A prominent scar runs along his left cheek, a souvenir from past battles.

King Harold Godwinson

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his mid-40s with a weathered face, piercing blue eyes, and a thick beard streaked with grey. His muscular frame shows the toll of battle, with fresh cuts and bruises visible on his arms and face. His hair is shoulder-length, matted with sweat and blood.

Norman Knight

secondary

A robust Norman warrior in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of combat training. His face is weathered, with a short, unkempt beard and piercing blue eyes. His hair is cropped short under his helmet, and a scar runs from his left cheekbone to his jawline, a testament to previous battles.

Housecarl

secondary

A burly 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 and a prominent scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone. His piercing blue eyes are filled with determination and loyalty.

Norman Archer

A wiry, sun-browned man in his late 20s with close-cropped dark hair and a sparse beard. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing bows, and his face bears faint scars from past battles. His eyes are narrowed in concentration, scanning the battlefield for targets.
