TNGF
SELECTED
Charles of Blois
primary
A middle-aged nobleman in his late 40s, with a lean but muscular build from years of military campaigning. His face is weathered and lined from stress and battle, with piercing blue eyes that burn with conviction. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey and kept short in practical military fashion.
John of Montfort
primary
A robust man in his late 30s, with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes that reflect his determination. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, and his short, dark beard is neatly trimmed. He carries himself with the confidence of a nobleman accustomed to command.
Sir John Chandos
secondary
A seasoned English knight in his late 40s, with a sturdy build honed by decades of warfare. His face bears the weathered lines of campaign life, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone—a souvenir from Crécy. His steel-gray eyes remain sharp beneath a receding hairline of dark brown hair streaked with silver.
Armored Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of combat. His steel-gray eyes are sharp and focused, framed by a short, dark beard streaked with premature silver. A deep scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Standard Bearer
background
A sturdy soldier in his late 20s, with a weather-beaten face and a strong build from years of military service. His short brown hair is matted with sweat and dirt, and his arms are visibly straining from the effort of holding the banner against the wind.
Dialog
Charles of Blois
By the grace of God and Saint Michael, stand firm! These usurpers shall not take what is rightfully ours!
John of Montfort
Press the advance! Chandos, take your men to their left flank - crush them now!
Sir John Chandos
Aye, my lord. Archers! Enfilade those dismounted knights - let them taste English steel.
Charles of Blois
Would you make martyrs of us all, Montfort? The Church will remember this sacrilege!
John of Montfort
I'll have your surrender, not your sermons! Brittany needs a strong ruler, not a praying monk!
Sir John Chandos
Mind their polearms, men. That's no Breton peasantry before you - these are French-trained men-at-arms.
Charles of Blois
Then let God judge between us this day! For France and for Brittany!
