TNGF

SELECTED

William the Conqueror

primary

A powerfully built man in his late 30s with a broad frame and muscular arms developed from years of warfare. His face is square-jawed with piercing gray-blue eyes that command attention, framed by short-cropped dark brown hair and a neatly trimmed beard. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a testament to 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 grey. His muscular frame shows the signs of a lifetime of warfare, with old scars visible on his arms and hands. His hair is shoulder-length, matted with sweat and dirt from battle.

Norman Knight

secondary

A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered features. His face bears several old scars from previous battles, and his short-cropped dark hair is matted with sweat and dirt. His piercing blue eyes show both determination and fatigue.

Saxon Thegn

secondary

A noble warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered face from years of battle. His long, unkempt blonde hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with a mix of determination and weariness. A thick beard covers his jaw, and a prominent scar runs from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone, a testament to past conflicts.

Norman Archer

background

A wiry, sunburnt man in his late twenties with a lean build, calloused hands from years of bow practice, and a short, unkempt beard. His face is streaked with sweat and dirt, and his eyes are narrowed in concentration.

Saxon Spearman

background

A burly, middle-aged man with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His arms are muscular from years of wielding weapons, and his hands bear the callouses of a lifetime of labor. His nose is slightly crooked from past brawls, and a fresh cut on his cheek drips blood onto his tunic.
