TNGF
SELECTED
Edward IV
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late twenties with striking fair hair and piercing blue eyes. His strong jawline and confident posture exude regal authority, while his youthful vigor suggests a warrior-king recently victorious in battle.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, ascetic face, deep-set eyes that burn with fervor, and thin lips pressed in solemnity. His white hair is neatly tonsured, and his hands, though aged, are steady as they perform the sacred rites.
Nobleman
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late forties with a neatly trimmed beard and piercing blue eyes. His face bears the weathered lines of a seasoned warrior, and his posture exudes the confidence of a man accustomed to power.
Suspicious Onlooker
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman with sharp, angular features and piercing grey eyes that dart furtively around the abbey. His lean frame is draped in rich but understated fabrics, his posture slightly hunched as if to avoid drawing attention.
Acolyte
background
A young man in his late teens, slight of build with a pale complexion and nervous demeanor. His hands are delicate, suggesting a life spent in clerical service rather than manual labor. His light brown hair is neatly trimmed beneath a simple cap, and his wide eyes dart about anxiously.
