TNGF
SELECTED
Oddo Colonna (Pope Martin V)
primary
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a strong Roman profile, deep-set eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture is erect, conveying both dignity and the weight of his new office. His hands are clasped in a gesture of solemnity, and his gaze is steady, though there is a hint of weariness around his eyes from the long conclave.
Cardinal Jean Allarmet
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 60s with a prominent aquiline nose and deep-set, piercing blue eyes. His thinning white hair is neatly trimmed beneath his cardinal's cap, and his pale skin bears the marks of age and years of scholarly toil.
Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly
secondary
A gaunt, elderly man in his late 60s with sharp, angular features and deep-set, piercing eyes. His thin lips are often pressed together in contemplation, and his high forehead is framed by wisps of white hair. His hands are delicate, with long fingers that often gesture subtly when he speaks.
Deacon
secondary
A young cleric in his early twenties, with a slender build and a clean-shaven face. His dark brown hair is neatly tonsured, and his pale complexion suggests long hours spent indoors in study and prayer. His hands are delicate, accustomed to handling sacred texts rather than manual labor.
Guard Captain
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His muscular build and upright posture suggest years of military discipline.
Dialog
Cardinal Jean Allarmet
Venerable brethren, by the grace of God and the sacred conclave, we declare Oddo Colonna as Pope Martin V, shepherd of the one true Church.
Oddo Colonna (Pope Martin V)
Deo gratias. I accept this sacred burden with humility, praying for divine guidance to heal the wounds of our fractured flock.
Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly
Your Holiness, the path ahead is fraught with thorns. The unity we seek must be rooted in truth, not merely expedience.
Oddo Colonna (Pope Martin V)
Indeed, my lord cardinal. As Solomon sought wisdom, so shall I seek the counsel of all faithful sons of the Church.
Cardinal Jean Allarmet
Let the Te Deum be sung, for today Christ's vicar is once more undivided upon earth.
Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly
May the Holy Spirit guide your hand, lest the wolves at our gates mistake mercy for weakness.
Oddo Colonna (Pope Martin V)
The shepherd's crook is both staff and weapon, as needs must. We shall be as wise as serpents and gentle as doves.
