primary
A middle-aged Hungarian military commander with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a strong jawline. His build is robust, with broad shoulders and a muscular frame from years of warfare.

Sergeant
secondary
A grizzled Hungarian soldier in his late 40s, with a muscular build from years of military service. His face is weathered and scarred, with a thick, graying mustache that dominates his features. His hands are calloused and strong, used to wielding weapons and giving orders.
Cannon Crew Leader
secondary
A grizzled Ottoman artillery commander in his late 40s, with a muscular build from years of handling heavy cannons. His face is weathered by sun and gunpowder, with a thick black beard streaked with gray. A deep scar runs across his left cheekbone, a souvenir from past battles.
Blacksmith
background
A burly, middle-aged man with muscular arms and a soot-streaked face, his hands calloused from years of working with metal. His dark hair is tied back with a leather strap, and his beard is short and unkempt.
Monk
background
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes, his tonsured hair showing signs of graying. His hands are rough from years of labor, yet gentle when tending to the wounded. He moves with a quiet purpose, his posture slightly stooped from years of bending over the sick and injured.
