TNGF
SELECTED
Giovanni I Bentivoglio
primary
A robust man in his early 40s with a broad chest and strong shoulders, standing tall with an air of authority. His olive complexion is framed by dark, shoulder-length hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His sharp, piercing eyes survey the room with a mixture of confidence and wariness, reflecting both his newfound power and the political tensions surrounding him.
Bishop of Bologna
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with a deeply lined face and sharp, hawk-like features. His silvering hair is neatly tonsured in the clerical fashion, and his pale blue eyes hold an intensity that commands attention. His hands are long-fingered and slightly arthritic, with prominent veins.
City Council Head
secondary
A senior nobleman in his late fifties, with a gaunt but dignified face marked by deep lines of authority. His piercing grey eyes are framed by thin, arched brows, and his silver-streaked dark hair is cropped short in the Roman style. His posture remains rigid despite his age, suggesting years of disciplined governance.
Noblewoman
secondary
A poised high-ranking lady in her mid-thirties, with a fair complexion, high cheekbones, and piercing green eyes. Her dark brown hair is elegantly braided and adorned with delicate pearls, framing her face gracefully. She has a slender yet commanding presence, exuding aristocratic refinement.
Guard Captain
background
A middle-aged man with a muscular build, weathered skin from years of outdoor duty, and a closely cropped beard. His sharp, dark eyes scan the crowd methodically, missing nothing. A faded scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.

Dialog

Giovanni I Bentivoglio By the grace of God and the will of Bologna's noble citizens, I accept this charge—not as a conqueror's spoil, but as a steward's sacred trust.
Bishop of Bologna Sicut unguentum in capite, descendat super te spiritus sapientiae et fortitudinis... May this holy chrism mark your rule with divine favor, my son.
Noblewoman Observe how the wolf wears the shepherd's crook today—but will the flock remember his teeth when winter comes?
Giovanni I Bentivoglio Let no man mistake mercy for weakness—the same hand that receives these keys today shall wield them tomorrow with justice.
Bishop of Bologna Memor esto, fili mi, quod sub umbra alarum Dei regnat qui iuste judicat... Remember always that true dominion flows from righteous judgment.
