TNGF
SELECTED
William Marshal
primary
A towering figure in his early 70s, with a muscular frame that still commands respect despite his advanced age. His face is weathered and lined from decades of campaigning, with piercing blue eyes that miss nothing. His silver hair is cropped short in the Norman style, and a thick beard covers his jaw. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone - a souvenir from tournament combat.
Rebel Knight
primary
A battle-worn French knight in his late 30s, with a muscular but exhausted build. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, a fresh cut above his left eyebrow. His once-fine surcoat is torn and bloodied, revealing chainmail beneath. His dark hair, matted with grime, falls unevenly around his face.
Squire
secondary
A young man in his late teens, slender but wiry with the beginnings of muscle from years of training. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, his short brown hair tousled from the battle. His hands are quick and nimble, accustomed to the tasks of a squire.
Archer
background
A wiry man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin and sharp features, his arms corded with muscle from years of drawing longbows. His short-cropped brown hair is matted with sweat, and a fresh cut above his right eyebrow drips blood down his temple.

William Marshal Aye, and a hard day’s work it was. You fought with honor.
Rebel Knight Honor won’t fill my lord Louis’ coffers now.
William Marshal Nor mine, but the king’s justice will be served.
Rebel Knight Then let it be swift. I’ve no taste for chains.
William Marshal Nor I for hanging knights who fought bravely. You’ll have terms.
