SELECTED

Francesco Sforza

primary

A powerfully built man in his early 50s with a broad chest and muscular frame, bearing the scars of a lifetime of military campaigns. His square jaw is covered by a short, well-groomed beard streaked with gray, and his piercing dark eyes command attention beneath thick eyebrows. His nose shows signs of having been broken in battle.

Cosimo de' Medici

primary

A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly stooped posture, indicative of years spent poring over ledgers and documents. His face is lined with the marks of political calculation, with sharp, observant eyes that miss little. His hands are well-manicured, the hands of a banker accustomed to handling wealth and power.

Venetian Diplomat

secondary

A middle-aged man of slight but wiry build, with sharp features and piercing blue eyes that miss nothing. His dark hair is streaked with gray, pulled back neatly, and his clean-shaven face bears the faint lines of a man accustomed to both courtly intrigue and long journeys.

Florentine Secretary

secondary

A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp features and keen eyes that dart between his parchment and the proceedings. His dark hair is neatly trimmed, and his hands are stained with ink from constant writing.

Milanese Guard

background

A sturdy man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped dark hair, and a thick mustache. His broad shoulders and calloused hands suggest years of military training. He has a faint scar running from his left temple to cheekbone, likely from past battles.

Dialog

Francesco Sforza By Mars and Bellona, let this parchment bind us as steel binds a sword's edge to its hilt.

Cosimo de' Medici A blade untested is a blade unproven, my lord. Florence shall observe these terms with... prudent expectation.

Venetian Diplomat The Serene Republic finds these conditions... acceptable, provided the articles regarding salt tariffs remain inviolate.

Francesco Sforza Inviolate as Vestal vows! Though I'd sooner trust a Visconti's oath than Venice's ledgers.

Cosimo de' Medici Gentlemen, let us remember this day belongs to Mercury's domain - the god of commerce... and thieves.

Venetian Diplomat Indeed. And as Mercury's winged feet remind us - swift retribution follows broken faith.

Francesco Sforza Then by Pluto's beard, let no man here play the faithless Orpheus!
