TNGF
SELECTED
William Marshal
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 70s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a strong jawline. His hair is gray and thinning, but his posture remains upright and commanding. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his gaze is sharp and calculating.
Prince Louis of France
primary
A tall, lean man in his late twenties with sharp, aristocratic features. His piercing blue eyes are framed by shoulder-length blond hair, slightly tousled from battle. His posture exudes confidence and royal bearing, though his face shows signs of the strain of prolonged conflict.
Rebel Baron
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman with a wiry build, his face weathered from years of campaigning. His dark hair is streaked with grey, and his piercing blue eyes burn with resentment. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a memento of past battles.
Archer Captain
secondary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry, muscular build from years of archery practice. His face is weathered from exposure to the elements, with sharp, focused eyes that scan the battlefield with precision. His hands are calloused from drawing bowstrings, and he has a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline, a souvenir from past battles.
Squire
background
A young male attendant, approximately 16-18 years old, with a lean but wiry build from years of training. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, with short, tousled brown hair peeking out from under his coif. His hands are calloused from handling weapons and armor.
French Knight
background
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous battles. His dark brown hair is cropped short under his mail coif, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and fatigue. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his stance is that of a seasoned warrior.
