TNGF
SELECTED
Władysław III of Poland
primary
A young man of 20 years with a lean but muscular build, his face still bearing the softness of youth but hardened by battle. His piercing blue eyes are framed by short, sandy blonde hair, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone. His hands are calloused from years of sword training.
Murad II
primary
A middle-aged man of imposing stature, with a broad chest and a commanding presence. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a thick, well-groomed beard and piercing dark eyes that exude authority. His posture is upright, reflecting his regal bearing.
Polish Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of combat. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and dirt, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and exhaustion. A deep scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to previous battles.
Janissary Commander
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His dark eyes are sharp and calculating, framed by thick eyebrows. His beard is neatly trimmed in the Ottoman style, and his muscular build suggests years of rigorous training.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young Christian soldier in his mid-20s, with a lean but muscular build from years of campaigning. His face is streaked with dirt and blood, his short brown hair matted with sweat. A deep gash runs across his left thigh, staining his hose crimson, while his right arm clutches a broken shield for support.
