TNGF

SELECTED

Sicilian Rebel Leader

primary

A nobleman in his late thirties with a commanding presence, his olive skin weathered by years of sun and conflict. His dark, piercing eyes burn with defiance beneath thick brows. His black hair, streaked with premature gray, is cropped short in the Norman fashion, and a neatly trimmed beard frames his strong jaw. His build is lean but muscular, the result of years spent training for battle and leading his people in secret.

French Officer

primary

A tall, lean Angevin officer with sharp features and a haughty demeanor. His piercing blue eyes survey the crowd with contempt, and his thin lips curl into a permanent sneer of superiority.

Weaver

secondary

A rugged Sicilian commoner in his early 30s, with a wiry but strong build from years of manual labor. His dark olive skin is weathered, and his black hair is cropped short but unkempt. His hands are rough and calloused, one tightly gripping a dagger. His dark brown eyes burn with fury.

French Soldier

secondary

A young Angevin recruit with a thin, boyish frame and a clean-shaven face. His light blue eyes are wide with terror, and his short brown hair is damp with sweat.

Priest

background

A middle-aged Sicilian priest with a gaunt face and deep-set brown eyes that reflect years of spiritual devotion and recent suffering under French rule. His thin frame is slightly stooped from years of prayer and service, with hands that tremble slightly from the tension of the moment. His graying hair is cropped short in the clerical tonsure style.

Dialog

Sicilian Rebel Leader Did you truly believe we would bear your tyranny forever, Angevin dog? This holy ground shall bear witness to Sicilian vengeance.

French Officer You dare raise your hand against the King's men?! Back to your prayers, peasants, before you regret this folly!

Weaver Bastardi francesi! The blood you've taken from us will flow today!

French Officer You think this rabble can stand against trained soldiers? This is madness!

Sicilian Rebel Leader Not madness, justice. The House of Anjou shall drown in the blood they spilled.
