TNGF
SELECTED
Guelph Captain
primary
A middle-aged man with a muscular build, weathered face, and a short, grizzled beard. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a practical knot. He has a deep scar running from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to years of battle.
Imperial Knight
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered German knight in his late thirties, with a heavily scarred face and piercing blue eyes. His fair hair is matted with sweat and blood, and his muscular frame shows signs of fatigue from prolonged combat.
Bolognese Crossbowman
secondary
A grizzled veteran in his late 30s with a wiry, muscular build from years of campaign life. His face is weathered with deep lines around his eyes from squinting down crossbow sights, and his hands bear old scars from winding mechanisms. Dark stubble covers his jaw, and his nose shows signs of having been broken at least once.
Wounded Imperial Soldier
secondary
A young German man-at-arms, no more than 20 years of age, with a lean but muscular build. His face is streaked with mud and blood, his fair hair matted with sweat and grime. His blue eyes, wide with pain and fear, are the only clean features on his dirt-smeared face.
Camp Follower
background
A gaunt woman in her late 30s, with sunken cheeks and calloused hands. Her dark hair is matted and tied back with a strip of cloth. She moves with a furtive, hunched posture, her eyes darting nervously across the battlefield.
