TNGF
SELECTED
Guelph Captain
primary
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick beard streaked with gray. His muscular build and upright posture reflect years of military training. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Ghibelline Captain
primary
A battle-hardened warrior in his late 40s, with a muscular build honed by decades of warfare. His face bears several scars, including a prominent one running from his left temple to jawline. Steel-gray eyes peer from beneath a furrowed brow, assessing the battlefield with cold calculation. His hands, wrapped in worn leather grips, rest easily on his broadsword's hilt.
Guelph Standard Bearer
secondary
A young soldier, approximately 18-20 years old, with a lean but wiry build from years of training. His face is smooth with only the faintest hint of stubble, marked by a fresh scar along his left cheekbone from recent skirmishes. His hands grip the banner pole tightly, showing white knuckles from tension.
Ghibelline Archer
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties with sun-browned skin and sharp features. His arms are corded with muscle from years of drawing bows, and his keen eyes are narrowed in concentration. A thin scar runs diagonally across his forehead.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young man in his mid-20s, lean but muscular from years of campaigning. His face is streaked with mud and blood, his dark hair matted with sweat. A deep gash runs across his left thigh, staining his hose crimson. His chainmail is torn near the shoulder, revealing a bruised collarbone beneath.
