TNGF
SELECTED
Alexander III of Scotland
primary
A lean young man of 22 years with windswept auburn hair and piercing blue eyes that scan the battlefield with strategic intensity. His clean-shaven face bears the first lines of responsibility, and his athletic build suggests both noble upbringing and martial training. A thin scar runs diagonally across his left cheekbone—a reminder of earlier conflicts.
Haakon IV of Norway
primary
Aged 59, tall and broad-shouldered with a weathered face marked by decades of sea winds and battle. His long white beard is braided with silver rings, and his piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with strategic calculation. His left hand bears an old battle scar visible between his chainmail gauntlet and sleeve.
Scottish Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late thirties, with a muscular build and a scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and fatigue. He wears a chainmail hauberk over a padded gambeson, with a surcoat bearing the colors of Alexander III's house. His helmet is pushed back, revealing short, dark brown hair matted with sweat.
Norse Captain
secondary
A rugged, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a thick, salt-and-pepper beard braided with leather cords. His face is weathered from years at sea, with deep-set blue eyes that burn with battle-lust. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, partially hidden by facial hair. His hands are calloused and grip his sword with practiced ease.
Scottish Archer
background
A wiry, middle-aged peasant bowman with sunken cheeks and a weathered face, his hands calloused from years of drawing the longbow. His dark hair is matted with sweat and dirt, and his eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination. His lean frame suggests a life of hardship and physical labor.
Norse Warrior
background
A hulking berserker in his late 20s, standing nearly six feet tall with corded muscles visible beneath his battle-grimed skin. His face is contorted in a feral snarl, revealing yellowed teeth, while wild, matted blonde hair streams behind him like a banner. Blue war-paint streaks across his forehead and cheeks in swirling patterns sacred to Odin. His left ear bears a fresh gash bleeding down his neck.
