TNGF
SELECTED
Henry IV of England
primary
A gaunt and weary man in his mid-40s, with a prematurely aged face marked by the strains of kingship. His once-strong frame is now frail, with a pallid complexion and sunken eyes that speak of prolonged illness. His dark hair is streaked with gray, and his beard is neatly trimmed but thin.
Abbot of Westminster
primary
A tall, gaunt man with a deeply lined face, his piercing blue eyes reflecting a lifetime of spiritual devotion. His tonsure is neatly shaved, and his hands are gnarled from years of prayer and holding sacred texts.
Prince Henry
secondary
A young man in his mid-20s, with a strong resemblance to his father, Henry IV. He has sharp, angular features, piercing blue eyes, and auburn hair cropped short in the fashion of the English nobility. His posture is naturally regal, but currently tense with shock.
Court Physician
secondary
A gaunt man in his late 50s, with a furrowed brow and deep-set, weary eyes that have seen much suffering. His hands are long and delicate, marked by years of mixing remedies.
Monk
background
A gaunt, middle-aged monk with a shaved tonsure and deep-set, pious eyes. His hands are rough from years of labor and prayer, and his posture is perpetually slightly bowed in humility.
