SELECTED
Otto Colonna (Pope Martin V)

A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly portly build, his face marked by the lines of wisdom and the weight of responsibility. His dark brown eyes are sharp yet kind, and his short, graying hair is neatly trimmed. His hands are soft, accustomed to holding quills rather than tools.
Cardinal Orsini

A distinguished cardinal in his late 50s, with a tall and slightly stooped frame. His face is lined with wisdom and years of service, featuring a prominent Roman nose and deep-set, piercing eyes. His hands are delicate yet strong, accustomed to holding sacred texts and performing blessings.
Deacon

A middle-aged man of average height with a lean build, clean-shaven face, and short, dark hair slightly graying at the temples. His hands are calloused from years of handling sacred texts and ceremonial objects.
Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman of sturdy build, with a neatly trimmed beard and piercing blue eyes that reflect both wisdom and weariness. His face bears the marks of a life spent in both courtly intrigue and military campaigns.
Monk
background
A middle-aged monk with a gaunt face, sunken cheeks, and a tonsured head. His deep-set eyes are filled with fervor, and his hands are calloused from years of labor and prayer. His posture is slightly hunched from long hours of study and devotion.

In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, I declare Otto Colonna elected as Pope Martin V, by the sacred will of this council and the Holy Spirit.
