TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Eugene IV
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a gaunt, pale face framed by thinning white hair. His sunken eyes still hold a sharp intelligence despite his weakened state. His hands, resting on the embroidered coverlet, are bony with prominent veins.
Cardinal Capranica
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with sharp features, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His thinning gray hair is neatly trimmed, and his hands are long-fingered, often clasped together in thought or prayer.
Physician
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a neatly trimmed beard and sharp, observant eyes. His hands are steady and practiced, showing years of medical training. His complexion is pale from long hours indoors, and his forehead bears faint lines of concentration.
Cardinal Orsini
secondary
A tall, lean man in his late 50s with sharp, angular features and piercing dark eyes that seem to miss nothing. His pale complexion is framed by thinning silver hair carefully tonsured in the clerical fashion, and his long fingers frequently steepled in thought betray a noble upbringing.
Servant
background
A young male servant, approximately 16-18 years old, with a slender build and short, dark hair. His face is slightly flushed from both the warmth of the room and his nervous energy. His hands are calloused from labor, yet his movements are careful and precise.

Dialog

Pope Eugene IV Capranica... gather the Sacred College... while I yet have breath to bless them. Let not my passing be an occasion for discord...
Cardinal Capranica Holy Father, your wisdom guides us even now. Yet certain... practical considerations must be addressed with your sanction.
Physician Domine, the tincture of mandragora with myrrh may ease your suffering. Though I fear...
Pope Eugene IV I know what you fear, good doctor. The gates of Saint Peter await me... but Rome remains full of barking dogs who would tear Christ's flock asunder.
Cardinal Capranica If Your Holiness would but speak the name of one who might carry forward your reforms... for the peace of the Church...
Pope Eugene IV You seek a name? The Holy Spirit shall provide... in due time... not through the ambitions of men.
Physician My lords, I must beg you... the fever returns.
