TNGF
SELECTED
Rudolf I
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his mid-forties with a weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thick brows, and his dark blonde hair is cropped short in the knightly fashion. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to jawline, a testament to his battlefield experience.
Archbishop
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a frail yet dignified frame. His thin white hair is neatly tonsured in the clerical fashion, framing a face marked with deep wrinkles and age spots. His piercing blue eyes, though slightly clouded with age, still burn with intelligence and authority. His hands are long-fingered and delicate, accustomed to holding sacred texts rather than weapons.
Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a strong, athletic build indicative of a life spent in both court and battlefield. His sharp, angular features are framed by a neatly trimmed beard, and his piercing blue eyes survey the scene with calculated intensity. His hands, though adorned with rings, show the callouses of a man accustomed to wielding a sword.
Scribe
secondary
A thin, middle-aged man with sharp features and ink-stained fingers, his slightly hunched posture suggesting years spent bent over manuscripts. His keen eyes dart between the ceremony and his parchment with practiced efficiency.
Guard Captain
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by a prominent scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and his piercing blue eyes scan the surroundings with vigilance. His muscular build suggests years of military training and combat experience.
