TNGF
SELECTED
Swiss Captain
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a weather-beaten face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, dark beard streaked with gray. His muscular build and calloused hands speak of years of hard labor and combat. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Habsburg Commander
primary
A tall, imposing nobleman in his late 40s with a muscular build, sharp facial features, and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with calculated intensity. A deep scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to past battles.
Swiss Soldier
secondary
A rugged, broad-shouldered man in his late twenties, with a weather-beaten face and a thick beard. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his eyes are sharp with the intensity of battle. His hair is dark and unkempt, tied back roughly with a leather strap.
Habsburg Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his early 30s, clad in heavy plate armor with the Habsburg crest prominently displayed on his surcoat. His face is partially obscured by a raised visor, revealing a strong jawline and a scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheek. His muscular build is evident even beneath the armor, and his steed is a large, dark warhorse struggling to maintain footing on the icy terrain.
Swiss Archer
background
A rugged Swiss crossbowman in his late 20s, with a wiry but strong build honed by years of mountain living. His face is weathered by wind and cold, with sharp features and a short, unkempt beard. His hands are calloused from handling his weapon, and his keen eyes are focused intently on his target.

By the saints, they come again! But we stand firm as the rocks beneath us!

Their defiance is as stubborn as the Alps themselves. But we shall prevail!

Aye, Captain! They'll not take our lands while we draw breath!
