TNGF
SELECTED
John Hunyadi
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late forties with a weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His dark hair is streaked with gray, tied back in a simple warrior's knot. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with strategic intensity, and a prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Serbian Captain
secondary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set brown eyes, and a thick black beard streaked with gray. His muscular frame bears the scars of previous battles, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons.
Archer
secondary
A wiry Hungarian crossbowman in his late 20s with sun-browned skin and a short, unkempt beard. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing the heavy crossbow, and his face bears a fresh scar from a recent skirmish. His keen eyes constantly scan for targets.
Water Carrier
background
A scrawny boy of about 12 years with sunburnt skin and matted brown hair. His arms show wiry strength from hauling water buckets, and his bare feet are calloused from running across rough stone. His quick, darting eyes constantly scan for danger.
Ottoman Janissary
background
A young, muscular soldier in his mid-20s, with a lean but powerful build. His face is partially obscured by a steel helmet with a distinctive white plume, but his dark, determined eyes are visible. His skin is tanned from years of military campaigns, and a short, well-groomed beard frames his jawline.
Dialog
John Hunyadi
Hold the southern parapet! If those Janissaries breach the gate, we are lost!
Serbian Captain
Our men are stretched thin, but they will not yield. Archers! Loose at the scaling ladders!
Archer
Isten verje! Their armor is thick, but their faces are bare. Aim true!
John Hunyadi
The riverfront holds—barely. If their ships land more troops, we must rally the reserves.
Serbian Captain
The gates shudder under their rams. We need boiling pitch—now!
Archer
Another wave climbs the ladders! Loose! Loose!
John Hunyadi
Stand fast, men! For Hungary! For Christendom!
