TNGF
SELECTED
Charles I of Anjou
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late forties with sharp aristocratic features. His dark hair is streaked with grey, swept back from a high forehead. Piercing blue eyes dominate a face marked by years of campaigning, with a strong jawline that suggests both determination and pride. His posture conveys natural authority, with broad shoulders that fill out his royal garments.
Archbishop of Palermo
primary
An elderly man of slight but dignified stature, with a gaunt face marked by deep-set eyes and prominent cheekbones. His thinning white hair is neatly trimmed beneath his ecclesiastical headgear, and his long fingers bear several ornate rings signifying his high office.
Angevin Knight
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered French knight in his early 30s, with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His piercing blue eyes scan the cathedral with military precision. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the Norman style, and he sports a thick, well-groomed beard. His hands, resting on the pommel of his sword, bear callouses from years of wielding weapons.
Sicilian Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a lean but strong build, sun-weathered olive skin, and dark, piercing eyes that betray both intelligence and simmering resentment. His black hair is streaked with silver, tied back in a short tail, and his beard is neatly trimmed in the Norman-Sicilian style.
Cathedral Guard
background
A rugged, middle-aged man with a weathered face and a strong build, his dark hair streaked with gray and tied back in a simple knot. His piercing eyes scan the crowd with practiced vigilance, and a long scar runs down his left cheek, evidence of past battles. His posture is upright and disciplined, exuding an air of quiet authority.
