TNGF
SELECTED
Harald Hardrada
primary
A towering figure in his early fifties, Harald Hardrada cuts an imposing presence on the battlefield. Standing well over six feet tall, his muscular frame bears the scars of countless battles. His face is weathered, with a prominent nose and piercing blue eyes that seem to miss nothing. A thick, graying beard frames his jaw, and his long hair is tied back in a warrior's braid. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his stance exudes confidence and authority.
Tostig Godwinson
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by years of battle and exile. His dark brown hair is tied back in a warrior's knot, streaked with grey, and his piercing blue eyes burn with a mix of fury and determination. A deep scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a reminder of past conflicts.
Earl Edwin
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered English nobleman in his late twenties with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, and his dark brown hair is tousled from battle. A fresh cut on his cheek bleeds slightly, adding to his battle-worn appearance.
Earl Morcar
secondary
A young English nobleman in his mid-20s with a lean but muscular build from years of martial training. His face is clean-shaven in the Anglo-Saxon style, with sharp features and piercing blue eyes that now burn with desperation. His dark brown hair is shoulder-length, matted with sweat and mud from battle.
Viking Warrior
background
A burly Norse fighter in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of raiding and combat. His face is weathered and scarred, with a thick, braided red beard streaked with grey. His piercing blue eyes are filled with battle-lust, and his nose bears the crooked mark of a long-healed break. His arms are covered in intricate Norse tattoos depicting serpents and runes.
English Soldier
background
A young man in his early twenties, with a lean but strong build from years of farm work and military training. His face is smeared with mud and sweat, and his fair hair is matted under a simple iron helmet. His blue eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination, and a fresh cut on his cheek drips blood.
