SELECTED
Hubert de Burgh
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a strong jawline. His short, dark brown hair is streaked with grey, and he sports a neatly trimmed beard. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his posture exudes authority.
Eustace the Monk
primary
A rugged and battle-hardened French mercenary in his early 40s, with a muscular build and a weather-beaten face. His dark hair is cropped short, and he sports a thick beard streaked with gray. A prominent scar runs from his left eyebrow to his cheek, a testament to his violent past. His piercing blue eyes are sharp and calculating.
English Archer
secondary
A lean, weathered man in his late 30s with sun-browned skin and a wiry build. His arms are sinewy from years of longbow practice, with a distinctive callus on his right cheek from the bowstring. His short brown hair is matted with sweat, and his sharp eyes are narrowed in concentration.
French Sailor
secondary
A wiry, sun-browned man in his late 20s with a tangled black beard and wild, desperate eyes. His face is streaked with soot and sweat, and his hands bear the callouses of years at sea.
Coastal Guard
background
A rugged man in his late 30s with a sun-weathered face, short brown beard, and muscular build from years of patrolling the coast. His keen eyes are accustomed to scanning the horizon for threats.
