TNGF

SELECTED

John Hunyadi

primary

A battle-hardened Hungarian commander in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous campaigns. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with strategic precision, framed by short-cropped graying hair and a well-trimmed beard.

Sultan Mehmed II

primary

A young but imposing figure in his early 20s, with a well-groomed beard and piercing dark eyes that convey both intelligence and ruthlessness. His athletic build suggests a warrior's physique, though his posture carries the regal bearing of a conqueror.

Hungarian Soldier

secondary

A grizzled veteran in his late 30s, with a wiry but strong build. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone. His hands are calloused from wielding weapons, and his stance shows the fatigue of prolonged battle.

Ottoman Officer

secondary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, dark eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture exudes authority, and his muscular build suggests years of military training.

Serbian Archer

background

A wiry, sun-browned man in his late 20s with a close-cropped beard and deep-set eyes that squint from years of tracking distant targets. His hands are calloused from drawing bowstrings, and his forearms show the ropy muscles of a lifelong archer. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to jawline—a souvenir from previous skirmishes.

Ottoman Sapper

background

A wiry, middle-aged man with sun-weathered skin and a short, scruffy beard. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his dark eyes are narrowed in concentration. He has a slight hunch from years of digging and carrying heavy loads.
