TNGF
SELECTED
Henry IV
primary
A middle-aged man of average height with a sturdy, battle-hardened build. His face is lined with the cares of kingship and war, framed by a neatly trimmed beard streaked with grey. Piercing dark eyes survey the battlefield with strategic calculation. A deep scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone—a memento from past conflicts.
Henry Percy
primary
A tall, muscular man in his late thirties with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes. His face is marked by a recent scar across his left cheek, and his auburn hair is tousled from battle, partially obscured by a dented bascinet helm. His posture exudes the confidence of a seasoned warrior, though his breathing is heavy from exertion.
Royal Standard Bearer
secondary
A sturdy man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His broad shoulders and muscular arms are built for bearing heavy armor and the weight of the royal standard. A thick beard, matted with sweat and dust, frames his square jaw. His eyes are sharp and alert, constantly scanning the battlefield.
Rebel Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened warrior in his early 40s, with a muscular build and weathered features. His face is marked by a deep scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheek, a testament to years of combat. His thick, dark beard is flecked with grey, and his piercing blue eyes burn with determination.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young man in his early twenties, with a lean but muscular build, now weakened by his injuries. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his dark hair matted with blood from a gash on his forehead. His chainmail is torn at the shoulder, revealing a deep wound beneath, and his left leg is twisted unnaturally, likely broken.

Dialog

Henry IV Par Dieu! They press too boldly for rebels. Archers—loose at their left flank! Break their charge!
Henry Percy For Northumberland and honor! Drive them back, lads! Show these crown dogs what steel bites!
Rebel Knight My lord! Their archers harry us sorely—we must close or be picked apart!
Henry Percy Then by the devil’s teeth, close we shall! Forward, all! No quarter!
Henry IV So the Hotspur lives up to his name. Very well—let him spend his fury on our spears.
Rebel Knight Stand fast, you dogs! If we break now, the gibbet waits for every mother’s son of us!
