TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Martin V
primary
A man in his early 50s, with a dignified yet somewhat weary countenance. His face is framed by a neatly trimmed beard and short, graying hair. His build is slightly stout, carrying the weight of years of diplomatic service to the Church. His deep-set eyes reflect wisdom and the heavy burden of his new office.
Cardinal Orsini
primary
A distinguished man in his late 60s, with a tall, slightly stooped frame that still carries authority. His angular face bears deep-set, piercing eyes beneath thick grey brows, and his pale complexion is marked by age spots. His thin lips are pressed in a solemn line, and his long fingers clutch the parchment with deliberate care.
Bishop of Konstanz
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly portly build, his clean-shaven face marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent nose. His hands are soft from years of clerical work, with a gold episcopal ring glinting on his right hand.
Deacon
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, slender and of average height, with smooth, pale skin and wide, dark eyes. His clean-shaven face bears an expression of reverence and awe. His neatly trimmed dark brown hair is slightly tousled from the ceremonial movements.
Noble Observer
background
A high-ranking nobleman in his late 40s, with a well-groomed beard and sharp, observant eyes. His build is lean but strong, indicative of a life spent in both courtly and martial pursuits. His features are refined, with a prominent nose and high cheekbones, suggesting noble lineage.
