SELECTED

Constantine XI

primary

A man in his late 40s, with a strong, battle-worn physique. His face is lined with the stress of prolonged siege, yet his dark eyes burn with unyielding resolve. His short beard and hair are streaked with gray, and his skin is darkened by the sun and grime of battle.

Byzantine Guard Captain

secondary

A battle-hardened officer in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of military service. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to previous battles. His dark brown eyes are sharp and alert, framed by thick eyebrows. His short, black beard is neatly trimmed, and his hair is cropped close to his head.

Ottoman Soldier

secondary

A battle-hardened Janissary in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of military training. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, and a jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline. His dark eyes burn with fervor under his distinctive white bork hat.

Byzantine Soldier

background

A young man in his mid-20s, lean but muscular from years of military training. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and a deep gash runs across his forehead. His dark brown hair is matted with blood and dust, and his olive skin is pale from blood loss. His hands are calloused and grip his sword weakly.
