TNGF
SELECTED
Gaspare da Vimercate
primary
A tall, imposing nobleman in his late 40s with a strong jawline and piercing dark eyes that command attention. His salt-and-pepper beard is neatly trimmed, and his posture exudes authority. His hands are expressive, with long fingers that often punctuate his speeches.
Visconti Representative
primary
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a sharp, angular face and piercing dark eyes that seem to assess everything with cold calculation. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and his posture exudes authority. His hands are well-manicured, indicating his aristocratic status.
Council Secretary
secondary
A thin, middle-aged man with a pale complexion and dark, neatly trimmed beard. His hands are ink-stained from hours of writing, and his narrow shoulders suggest a lifetime spent hunched over documents. His sharp nose and deep-set eyes give him a perpetually attentive appearance.
Senior Council Member
secondary
A distinguished elder statesman in his late 60s, with a lean but sturdy frame that speaks of a lifetime of service. His face is deeply lined, with sharp, intelligent eyes that have witnessed decades of political maneuvering. His silver hair is neatly trimmed, and his beard is meticulously groomed, reflecting his status and attention to detail.
Guard Captain
background
A rugged, middle-aged soldier with a muscular build, standing at approximately 5'10" tall. His face is weathered from years of service, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and his piercing hazel eyes scan the room with vigilance.

Dialog

Gaspare da Vimercate Shall we, like craven dogs, lick the boots of tyrants who have drained Milan's coffers and trampled her ancient liberties? Or shall we stand as free men, as our Roman forebears did?
Visconti Representative Your pretty words smell of treason, Vimercate. The Visconti bloodline stretches back centuries—what pedigree do these republican fantasies possess, save the stench of mob rule?
Senior Council Member Noble sirs, let us recall that Milan's strength has ever lain in unity. Might we not seek a middle course—one preserving order while addressing grievances?
Gaspare da Vimercate Middle courses drown men in half-measures! As Cato warned Carthage must be destroyed, so too must Visconti tyranny—root and branch!
Visconti Representative Mark well these words, councilors—when His Grace returns from exile, he shall know who stood loyal... and who shall swing from the gallows.
Senior Council Member Enough! The law, not threats, must govern this chamber. If we cannot debate as civilized men, then by Saint Ambrose's bones, we deserve neither republic nor duchy.
Gaspare da Vimercate Then let the vote proceed—and may history record that today, Milan chose liberty over the golden chains of servitude!
