Characters
John of Montfort
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late thirties with a weathered face and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and a thick beard frames his jawline. There is a prominent scar running from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his stance exudes authority.
Charles of Blois
primary
A middle-aged nobleman in his late 40s, Charles of Blois has a lean but wiry build, honed by years of military campaigning. His face is lined with the cares of command, with piercing blue eyes that seem to assess everything at a glance. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a practical warrior's knot. A scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a souvenir from a previous battle.
Montfort Knight

A battle-hardened knight in his early 40s, with a muscular build and weathered features. His face bears the scars of previous conflicts, and his piercing blue eyes reflect a steely resolve. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and a thick beard frames his jawline.
Blois Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and several scars visible on his face and hands. His chainmail is dented from previous conflicts, and his surcoat bearing the colors of Charles of Blois is stained with dirt and blood.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young man in his early twenties, lean but muscular from years of training and campaigning. His face is smeared with dirt and blood, his short dark hair matted with sweat. A deep gash runs across his left thigh, and his chainmail is torn in several places.
