TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Alexander III
primary
A man in his late 60s with a dignified bearing, his face lined with wisdom and the weight of spiritual leadership. His piercing eyes convey both compassion and authority, framed by thinning white hair that forms a natural tonsure. His hands are slightly raised in blessing, their veins tracing the passage of years spent in service to the Church.
Abbot of Clairvaux
primary
A middle-aged man in his late 50s, with a gaunt face marked by years of asceticism and prayer. His posture is upright, though slightly hunched from long hours spent in scriptoriums. His hands are rough from manual labor, yet delicate when handling sacred texts. His deep-set eyes burn with quiet intensity.
Cardinal Deacon
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight but dignified build, with sharp, ascetic features and a clean-shaven face. His deep-set eyes are framed by thin eyebrows, and his hands are delicate, accustomed to handling sacred texts rather than manual labor.
Noble Pilgrim
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman with a lean but sturdy build, his face weathered from travel yet refined with high cheekbones and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes reflect deep devotion and fatigue from his pilgrimage.
Acolyte
background
A slender youth of approximately 15 years with close-cropped brown hair and pale complexion. His hands are delicate but show early signs of manual labor from handling church implements. His wide-set brown eyes convey both reverence and nervous energy.
