TNGF
SELECTED
Milanese Captain
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man in his late 40s with a muscular build and weathered face. His dark brown hair is streaked with gray, tied back in a short tail, and his thick beard shows signs of singeing from past battles. A deep scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, and his piercing hazel eyes scan the battlefield with tactical precision.
Florentine Knight
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weather-beaten face and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his sallet helm, and a thick beard frames his jaw. His hands are calloused from years of swordplay, and a jagged scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone—a memento from past battles.
Mercenary Crossbowman
secondary
A rugged, middle-aged professional soldier with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin. His face bears several old scars from previous battles, and his hands are calloused from years of handling weapons. His dark hair is cropped short beneath a padded coif, and his sharp eyes constantly scan the battlefield for threats.
Florentine Herald
secondary
A lean, wiry man in his late twenties with a sharp chin and sunken cheeks, his face darkened by the Tuscan sun. His dark brown eyes are alert but strained from the chaos of battle. Short, unruly black hair clings to his sweaty forehead, and a thin mustache frames his upper lip. His hands are calloused from years of riding and handling messages.
Wounded Soldier
background
A Milanese infantryman in his late twenties, with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his dark hair is matted beneath a dented sallet helmet. A deep gash on his left thigh stains his hose crimson as he drags himself across the battlefield.
Dialog
Milanese Captain
Move those bastard crossbows forward—thirty paces, no more! By Dis Pater, if they break formation again, I'll flay them myself!
Florentine Knight
Hold the bridge like Saint John holds his lamb! Let Milanese dogs choke on Florentine steel!
Florentine Herald
The left flank—the left flank buckles! Reinforcements come—but slowly, like a millwheel stuck in mud!
Milanese Captain
Hah! Your republic’s gold buys slow feet and slower wits. Push the center—now!
Florentine Knight
Does Milan send boys to do men’s work? Or do you fear Florence’s justice so much you hide behind hired blades?
Milanese Captain
Justice? I’ll show you justice when your head decorates Visconti’s gates! Archers—loose!
Florentine Herald
The ford—they try to flank us by the river! The Tiber runs shallow—cut them off!
