TNGF
SELECTED
Archibald Douglas
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered Scottish noble in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick, graying beard. His muscular build shows years of combat experience, and a prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline.
Henry Percy (Hotspur)
primary
A tall, lean man in his mid-30s with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a prominent nose and a closely trimmed beard. His hair is auburn, tied back in a practical manner under his helmet. His build is athletic, showing the strength and endurance of a seasoned warrior.
Scottish Knight
secondary
A rugged, battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His sun-weathered face is framed by a thick, reddish-brown beard, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and fatigue. His chainmail is dented and bloodied, and his surcoat bears the faded colors of Douglas.
English Archer Captain
secondary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and sharp, calculating eyes. His face is framed by a short, unkempt beard streaked with grey, and his hands bear the callouses of years drawing longbows. He stands with the confident posture of a seasoned soldier, his movements precise and deliberate.
Wounded Scottish Soldier
background
A young man in his early twenties, lean and wiry from years of campaigning, with a ruddy complexion and a tangle of dark brown hair matted with sweat and blood. His face is contorted in pain, and his left leg is badly wounded by an arrow, leaving a trail of blood as he moves.

My lord, the arrows rain thick as winter hail! We must fall back!
