TNGF

SELECTED

Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos

primary

A man in his late forties, with a strong but weary build, his face lined with the stress of prolonged siege. His dark hair is streaked with grey, and his piercing eyes reflect both determination and sorrow. He bears the scars of previous battles, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword.

Venetian Captain

secondary

A seasoned Venetian commander in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by years of sea and battle. His dark, piercing eyes scan the chaos with tactical precision. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a souvenir from past conflicts.

Genoese Defender

secondary

A rugged, battle-hardened soldier in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of combat. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone. His dark hair is matted with sweat and dust, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both fatigue and determination.

Ottoman Janissary

background

A tall, muscular man in his late 20s, with a stern face and piercing dark eyes. His skin is weathered from years of campaigning, and he bears several scars from previous battles. His black beard is neatly trimmed, and his head is shaved except for a single lock of hair, a traditional mark of the Janissary corps.

Byzantine Priest

background

A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes shadowed by exhaustion, and a short, unkempt beard. His hands are calloused from years of manual labor and prayer, and his posture is slightly stooped from the weight of his duties.
