TNGF

SELECTED

Pope Eugene III

primary

An elderly man in his late 70s, frail and gaunt from prolonged illness. His once-robust frame is now skeletal beneath the papal vestments, with sunken cheeks and a prominent nose. His thin white hair is matted with sweat, and his hands tremble slightly.

Cardinal Rolando

primary

A tall, imposing figure in his late 50s with a strong, angular face, deep-set piercing eyes, and a prominent aquiline nose. His silver-streaked dark hair is neatly tonsured, and his hands are long-fingered, often clasped in prayer or gesturing with deliberate precision.

Archdeacon Giovanni

secondary

A middle-aged man of slight build with thinning dark hair and a pale complexion, his face lined with worry. His hands are slightly trembling as he clutches important documents.

Cistercian Brother

secondary

A young monk in his early twenties, with a slender build and a clean-shaven face. His fair complexion is slightly flushed from the emotional weight of the moment, and his light brown hair is neatly tonsured in the Cistercian tradition. His hands are calloused from manual labor, yet gentle in their ministrations.

Imperial Messenger

background

A dust-covered soldier in his late 20s, lean and wiry from hard travel, with sun-weathered skin and a short-cropped beard. His dark hair is matted with sweat and road dust, and his piercing blue eyes scan the room warily. A fresh scar runs along his left cheekbone, still pink against his tanned skin.
