Characters

Leopold III
primary
A gaunt, elderly man with a deeply lined face and thinning white hair, lying weakly on his deathbed. His once-strong frame is now frail, and his pallid skin is stretched tightly over prominent cheekbones. His hands, resting atop the covers, are bony but still bear the callouses of a lifelong warrior.
Abbot of Klosterneuburg
primary
A gaunt man in his late 50s with deep-set gray eyes and a tonsured crown of white hair. His long fingers bear ink stains from manuscript work, and his posture carries the permanent forward lean of one accustomed to bending over sacred texts.
Agnes of Waiblingen
secondary
A noblewoman in her late 40s, with a slender but weary frame. Her face bears the marks of both nobility and sorrow, with high cheekbones and deep-set eyes that speak of many years of wisdom and recent grief. Her hands, though delicate, show the strength of a woman who has borne both children and burdens.
Monk
background
A young monk in his early twenties, with a slender build and a clean-shaven face. His hands are delicate, accustomed to handling books rather than labor. His tonsured hair is neatly trimmed, and his eyes are downcast in humility.
