TNGF
SELECTED
Emperor Hadrian
primary
A middle-aged man in his early 40s, with a lean but muscular build from years of military campaigns. His face is clean-shaven in the Roman fashion, with sharp features and piercing dark eyes that miss no detail. His short, curly hair is slightly grey at the temples, and his posture exudes authority.
Legion Commander
primary
A seasoned military officer in his late 40s, with a muscular build hardened by decades of service. His face bears the deep tan and weathered lines of a man who has served on numerous frontiers. A prominent scar runs along his left cheekbone, a battle souvenir from Dacia. His short-cropped hair is peppered with grey, and his piercing brown eyes miss nothing.
Engineer
secondary
A middle-aged Greek architect with a lean, wiry build from years of overseeing construction projects. His sun-weathered face bears deep creases around his eyes from squinting at plans under the northern sun. Dark, slightly graying hair is cropped short in Roman style, and his hands are calloused from handling tools and scrolls alike.
Stone Mason
secondary
A burly, middle-aged man with sun-leathered skin and sinewy arms from years of labor. His face is lined with concentration, and his hands are calloused from carving stone. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the Roman style, with streaks of gray at the temples.
Legionary Guard
background
A battle-hardened soldier in his late 20s, standing at approximately 5'8" with a muscular build from years of military training. His sun-weathered face shows faint scars from past skirmishes, and his close-cropped dark brown hair is partially covered by his helmet. His steady gaze reflects disciplined alertness.
Dialog
Emperor Hadrian
Commander, the fourth course is uneven here. By Dis Pater's wrath, do the lads measure with their eyes closed?
Legion Commander
Imperial pardon, Caesar. The local limestone splits irregularly. The masons swear by Jupiter's blessing they'll have it dressed by next moon.
Emperor Hadrian
Moon? This is Britannia, not Athens. I want this mile finished before Saturnalia, or I'll ship your 'irregular masons' to the Dalmatian mines.
Legion Commander
As you command. We'll double the night shifts and reroute the Rhineland sandstone for the parapet.
Emperor Hadrian
Better. Now show me where the Picts breached last winter - I want those sections triple-thick.
