Imperial Cavalry Officer

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick, battle-scarred neck. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his helmet, and a well-trimmed beard frames his jaw. His muscular build is evident even beneath his armor, with calloused hands gripping his sword and reins.

Lombard Standard Bearer

Wounded Lombard Soldier

A young Lombard infantryman in his mid-20s, with a lean but muscular build from years of military training. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his short brown hair is matted with blood from a head wound. His chainmail is torn at the shoulder where a lance struck him, and his left arm hangs limply at his side.

Imperial Trumpeter

background

A young cavalry trumpeter in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build from years of riding. His face is flushed from exertion, with short-cropped brown hair plastered to his forehead with sweat. His piercing blue eyes are focused intently on the battlefield as he sounds his instrument.
