TNGF
SELECTED
Rudolf I
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his mid-40s with a strong, weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey and falls just above his shoulders, framing a square jaw covered by a short, well-groomed beard. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and determination.
Archbishop of Mainz
primary
A tall, stately man in his late 50s with a gaunt but imposing frame. His sharp nose and deep-set eyes give him an air of solemn authority, while his neatly trimmed silver beard and tonsured hair mark his ecclesiastical status. His hands are delicate but strong, accustomed to holding sacred texts and performing rituals.
Elector of Saxony
secondary
A robust middle-aged man with a square jaw and close-cropped blonde beard, his sharp blue eyes scanning the cathedral with quiet authority. His muscular frame suggests a warrior noble accustomed to wielding both sword and scepter.
Herald
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight, wiry build with a clean-shaven face and a prominent nose. His short, dark hair is neatly trimmed beneath his official cap, and his sharp eyes are accustomed to reading documents in dim light.
Scribe
background
A middle-aged man with a lean build, hunched shoulders from years of bending over manuscripts, and ink-stained fingers. His thin face is framed by short, greying hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His eyes are sharp and attentive, accustomed to capturing details.
