Arnold Winkelried

primary

A robust Swiss warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of combat and farming. His face is weathered, with a strong jawline and deep-set blue eyes that burn with determination. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his helmet, and a thick beard frames his face. His hands are calloused, gripping his pike with practiced ease.

Leopold III of Austria

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a neatly trimmed beard and short, dark brown hair. He carries himself with the bearing of nobility, exuding authority even in the chaos of battle.

Swiss Pikeman

secondary

A rugged man in his late twenties, with a wiry but strong build from years of military training. His face is tanned and weathered, with a short, unkempt beard and a scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone. His hands are calloused from gripping the pike, and his stance is firm despite the chaos around him.

Austrian Knight

secondary

A mounted knight in his late 30s, with a sturdy build and a weathered face marked by years of combat. His dark hair is cropped short beneath his helmet, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with a mix of determination and concern.

Austrian Foot Soldier

background

A young infantryman in his early twenties, wiry and sunburnt with a patchy beard. His eyes are wide with fear, and his hands tremble as he grips his spear. His chainmail coif is askew, revealing matted brown hair beneath.
