TNGF

SELECTED

John Hunyadi

primary

A battle-hardened military leader in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a practical manner, and his piercing eyes scan the battlefield with strategic intensity. A prominent scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to past battles.

Saint John of Capistrano

primary

A gaunt, elderly Franciscan friar in his late 60s with a deeply lined face and piercing eyes that burn with religious fervor. His thin frame is wiry from years of asceticism, and his hands are raised in fervent prayer, clutching a wooden cross.

Hungarian Soldier

secondary

A rugged, battle-hardened man in his late 20s with a wiry but strong build. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, with a fresh cut across his left cheek. His dark hair is matted under a simple padded coif, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons.

Crusader

secondary

A rugged man in his late 30s with a weathered face and strong build, his short beard streaked with dust and sweat. His eyes burn with religious fervor as he clutches a wooden cross in one hand and a torch in the other. His chainmail is dented from battle, and a red cross is painted on his surcoat.

Janissary

background

A young, muscular Ottoman elite soldier in his mid-20s, with a shaved head except for a single long braid at the back, and a thick mustache. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, and his dark eyes are focused intently on the wall above him.

Hungarian Soldier Janissars at the north wall! By Saint George's arm, they climb like devils!

John Hunyadi Archers to the north—loose at will! No mercy, no quarter!

Saint John of Capistrano Mors Christi vincit omnia! Death in Christ conquers all!

Hungarian Soldier They bring fire arrows! The gate—the gate burns!

John Hunyadi Then we hold the breach. Steel and faith, men—steel and faith!
