Characters
Irish Chieftain
primary
A rugged man of about forty years, with a strong build and weathered features. His sun-browned face is framed by a thick, red beard streaked with gray, and his piercing blue eyes are filled with determination. His arms bear the scars of past battles, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons.
Scottish Knight
primary
A towering figure in his late 30s, with a broad, muscular frame built for combat. His face, partially obscured by his great helm, bears the scars of previous battles, including a prominent slash across his left cheek. His eyes, sharp and piercing, are the only visible feature beneath the steel. His armor is a mix of chainmail and plate, with a surcoat bearing the colors of his lord.
Irish Warrior
secondary
A battle-hardened fighter in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered skin. His face bears several scars from previous battles, and his dark, matted hair is tied back with a leather strip. His piercing blue eyes reflect years of combat experience.
Scottish Archer
secondary
A lean and wiry man in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and sharp, watchful eyes. His dark brown hair is tied back with a simple leather thong, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone. His hands are calloused from years of drawing the bowstring.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young man in his early twenties, his face streaked with mud and blood. His build is lean but strong, typical of a warrior trained from youth. His hair is matted with sweat and dirt, and his skin is pale from blood loss. A deep gash runs across his thigh, staining his tunic crimson.
