TNGF
SELECTED
Francesco Sforza
primary
A robust man in his early 50s with a warrior's build, his face bears the marks of a life spent in battle—a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone. His dark hair is streaked with grey, worn shorter than the fashion of Florentine elites, and his piercing brown eyes miss nothing in the room.
Cosimo de' Medici
primary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp, calculating eyes and a neatly trimmed beard. His face bears the lines of a life spent in both commerce and politics, and his posture exudes quiet authority.
Venetian representative
secondary
A middle-aged man with sharp, calculating eyes and a neatly trimmed beard, his posture exuding the confidence of Venice's maritime empire. His olive complexion and the slight greying at his temples speak of experience in diplomatic circles.
Neapolitan scribe
background
A lean, middle-aged man with ink-stained fingers and a furrowed brow, his sharp eyes darting between the speakers as he records the proceedings with meticulous care.

Dialog

Cosimo de' Medici From a commercial perspective, the ledger of proposed terms must be balanced—like a merchant’s account.
Venetian representative The Republic’s interests are not to be balanced like a merchant’s account—they are to be held—like positions in battle.
