SELECTED

Charles of Blois

primary

A middle-aged man of noble bearing, approximately 45 years old, with a wiry but strong build. His face is gaunt from the rigors of campaign, with sharp cheekbones and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with grey. Piercing blue eyes that burn with fervent conviction, now clouded with exhaustion. His right hand grips a sword with bloodied knuckles, while his left clutches a torn surcoat bearing his heraldry.

John Chandos

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with sharp, angular features and piercing gray eyes. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His dark brown hair, streaked with gray, is cropped short beneath a padded arming cap.

Breton Squire

secondary

A young man in his early twenties, of medium build with a wiry frame honed by years of service. His face is smeared with mud and sweat, with a fresh cut across his left cheek. His dark brown hair is matted and tousled beneath his coif, and his hazel eyes are wide with desperation.

English Man-at-Arms

secondary

A battle-hardened soldier in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered features. His face bears several old scars, including a prominent one running from his left temple to his jawline. His dark hair is cropped short and streaked with grey, and his eyes are a piercing blue, narrowed with focus.

Fallen Knight

background

A wounded Anglo-Breton knight in his late 30s, with a muscular but now weakened build. His face is streaked with mud and blood, his short brown beard matted with sweat and dirt. His breathing is labored, and his eyes are bloodshot from exhaustion and pain. A deep gash is visible on his left thigh, staining his gambeson and mail with dark blood.

Dialog

Charles of Blois By Saint Yves, I commend my soul to God... Let no man say Charles of Blois fled from his fate.

John Chandos Enough. He has fought with honor. Let his last moments be in peace.

English Man-at-Arms Aye, my lord. But the battle's not done.

Charles of Blois If God wills this end, then so be it... yet I curse this war... this endless strife...

John Chandos See his body borne from the field with respect. He was a prince, misguided though he was.
