TNGF

SELECTED

William the Conqueror

primary

A powerfully built man in his late 30s, standing tall at about 5'10" with a muscular frame honed by years of warfare. His face is weathered and stern, with piercing blue eyes that command attention. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the Norman style, and he sports a well-groomed beard. A prominent scar runs across his left cheek, 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 gray. His muscular frame shows the wear of battle, with fresh cuts and bruises visible on his arms and face. His hair is shoulder-length, matted with sweat and blood, tied back with a simple leather cord.

Norman Knight

secondary

A heavily armored Norman knight in his late 20s, with a muscular build and a determined face partially obscured by his nasal helmet. His chainmail hauberk covers his torso and thighs, glinting dully in the overcast light, with a white surcoat bearing the red cross of Normandy. His shield is strapped to his left arm, and he wields a longsword in his right hand.

Saxon Housecarl

secondary

A burly, battle-hardened warrior in his late 30s with a thick beard and weathered face. His muscular frame is built for endurance, with broad shoulders and arms corded from years of wielding heavy weapons. A fresh scar runs across his left cheekbone, and his knuckles are bruised from recent combat.

Norman Archer

background

A lean, wiry man in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and a short, unkempt beard. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing bows, and his eyes are narrowed in concentration. A faded scar runs across his left cheekbone.

Saxon Spearman

background

A young Saxon levy fighter, barely out of his teens, with a wiry build and sunburnt face. His unkempt blonde hair is matted with sweat and dirt, and his blue eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination. A fresh scar runs across his left cheek, likely from a previous skirmish.
