TNGF
SELECTED
Henry IV
primary
A gaunt man in his mid-40s, with a pale complexion and sunken eyes, lying weakened on his deathbed. His once-strong frame is now frail, and his face bears the marks of years of stress and illness.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man of solemn demeanor, with a gaunt face marked by deep lines of wisdom and piety. His eyes are pale and penetrating, framed by thin white eyebrows. His hands, though wrinkled, are steady as he performs sacred rites.
Prince Henry
secondary
A tall, well-built young man in his mid-twenties with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His dark auburn hair is cropped short in the fashion of noblemen, and he wears a carefully trimmed beard. His posture exudes regal bearing even in grief, with broad shoulders and a straight back.
Royal Physician
secondary
A middle-aged man with a thin, wiry build and deep-set, observant eyes. His face is lined with the marks of long study and countless sleepless nights, and his hands are delicate yet steady—clearly accustomed to the precise work of medicine. His dark hair is streaked with gray, tied back neatly in a short queue.
Knight of the Chamber
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, a close-cropped beard, and a thick, battle-worn neck. His piercing blue eyes survey the room with quiet vigilance, and his stance reflects years of military discipline.
