SELECTED

Commander Aldo

primary

A grizzled military leader in his late 40s, with a broad frame hardened by decades of campaigning. His face bears the marks of old battles—a jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, and his nose has been broken more than once. His short-cropped hair is streaked with gray, and his piercing hazel eyes survey the battlefield with sharp focus. His hands, calloused from years gripping sword hilts, clutch a Tusculan banner tightly.

Squire Luca

secondary

A lean youth of about 16 years with tousled brown hair and a smattering of freckles across his nose. His hands are calloused from training but still retain some youthful softness. His light blue eyes dart nervously between tasks.

Archer Matteo

secondary

A lean, wiry man in his late twenties with sun-weathered skin and sharp, focused eyes. His hands are calloused from years of drawing a longbow, and his posture is slightly hunched from carrying his gear. A faint scar runs across his left forearm, a testament to past skirmishes.

Militia Man

background

A conscripted farmer in his late twenties, with a wiry build from years of agricultural labor. His sun-weathered face is streaked with sweat, and his wide brown eyes dart nervously across the battlefield. His hands, calloused from farm work, grip his spear with white-knuckled intensity.

Dialog

Commander Aldo Luca—swift now, the buckle! Enemy banners crest the ridge.

Squire Luca If it please you, my lord—the strap is—

Commander Aldo Done. Not said. Matteo—archers ready to loose on my call.

Archer Matteo Bows strung. We hold the high ground—they’ll tire climbing.

Squire Luca My lord, your sword—the hilt’s loose—

Commander Aldo Later. That’s Roman stone beneath us—let their ghosts lend us their stubbornness today.

Archer Matteo First volley at two hundred paces. Their shields won’t stop yew shafts at that range.
