TNGF
SELECTED
John, Duke of Bedford
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his mid-thirties with a stern, angular face. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with a commander's calculating gaze. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his helmet, and a neatly trimmed beard frames his jaw. His hands, gripping the reins of his warhorse, are calloused from years of wielding a sword.
Earl of Douglas
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered Scottish noble in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His dark auburn hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a warrior's knot. A thick beard frames his jaw, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with a commander's intensity. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
English Longbowman
secondary
A grizzled veteran archer in his late 30s, with a wiry but strong build developed from years of drawing the longbow. His face is weathered from exposure to the elements, with deep-set eyes that have seen countless battles. His hands are calloused and bear the scars of bowstring cuts. A short, unkempt beard covers his jaw, and his hair is cropped short under a padded coif.
French Knight
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a weathered face and a thick, dark beard. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a prominent brow, and his nose bears the faint scar of a previous battle. His muscular build is evident even beneath his armor, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword.
Scottish Pikeman
background
A rugged, battle-hardened infantryman in his late 20s, with a wiry but strong build from years of marching and fighting. His face is weathered, with a short, unkempt beard and a deep scar running across his left cheek. His hands are calloused from gripping the pike, and his stance is slightly hunched from the weight of his gear.
Dialog
John, Duke of Bedford
Hold the left flank steady—let their charge break upon our spears like waves upon the shore.
Earl of Douglas
By Saint Andrew’s bones, rally the lads! We’ll not be driven from this field like frightened deer!
John, Duke of Bedford
Douglas fights with the fury of a cornered boar, but even the mightiest beast falls to the hunter’s arrow.
Earl of Douglas
Aye, Bedford’s archers sting like wasps, but we’ll crush them beneath our heels yet!
John, Duke of Bedford
Sound the advance—let us end this before the sun sets on their defiance.
