TNGF
SELECTED
Henry I of England
primary
A man in his late thirties with a sturdy, compact frame, standing slightly shorter than average but exuding authority. His face is clean-shaven with sharp, calculating eyes that miss little. His hair is dark brown, cropped short in the Norman style, with early streaks of grey at the temples from the burdens of kingship. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a memento from past conflicts.
Robert Curthose
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick, graying beard. His nose bears the slight crook of an old break, and his hands are calloused from years of swordplay. His posture exudes the confidence of a seasoned warrior, though fatigue lines his face.
Knight Captain
secondary
A seasoned knight in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by years of battle. His short, graying beard and piercing blue eyes convey both experience and authority. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to his many campaigns.
Squire
secondary
A young squire, approximately 16 years old, with a slender but wiry build from years of training. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, and his short, tousled brown hair is damp with perspiration. His wide, hazel eyes reflect the shock and fear of his first major battle.
Norman Archer
background
A wiry, sun-weathered man in his late 30s with a lean build honed by years of archery practice. His face is lined from exposure to the elements, and his hands bear callouses from drawing bowstrings. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath a simple cloth coif, and his eyes are narrowed in concentration.
Dialog
Henry I of England
By the Holy Cross, Robert, you test my patience! Yield now, and I may yet show mercy.
Robert Curthose
Mercy? From you, little brother? I'd sooner trust a viper!
Knight Captain
Sire, their left flank weakens. A charge now may break them.
Henry I of England
Then sound the horns. Let us end this folly.
Robert Curthose
You hear that, men? The usurper fears to face me himself!
Knight Captain
Archers ready! Loose at my command!
Henry I of England
Today, Normandy is mine. And tomorrow, your defiance will be forgotten.
