TNGF
SELECTED
King Edward IV
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered young man with a strong jaw and piercing blue eyes. His golden hair is partially hidden beneath a fur-lined helm, and his face is flushed from the cold and exertion.
Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick
primary
A tall, imposing figure with sharp features and piercing eyes. His presence commands attention on the battlefield. His dark hair is streaked with grey, and his face bears the marks of many campaigns.
Lord Fauconberg
secondary
A seasoned Yorkist commander with a weathered face, bearing the scars of numerous battles. His piercing gaze reflects years of military experience.
Yorkist Archer
secondary
A gaunt-faced man in his late twenties, with a wiry frame hardened by years of campaigning. His hands are calloused from longbow use, and his face is streaked with sweat and grime.
Lancastrian Soldier
background
A wounded Lancastrian fighter, struggling in the snow. His face is pale from blood loss, and his breath comes in ragged gasps. His armor is dented and bloodied, a testament to the brutal fighting.
