TNGF
SELECTED
Venetian Captain
primary
A battle-hardened man in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous conflicts. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a short ponytail, and his piercing blue eyes convey both authority and weariness. A thick beard, neatly trimmed, frames his jawline.
Venetian Soldier
secondary
A battle-weary man in his late 30s, with a gaunt face marked by exhaustion and old scars. His sunken eyes are bloodshot from lack of sleep, and his unkempt beard is streaked with dust. His muscular frame is now lean from prolonged siege conditions, with visible bruises on his arms from recent combat.
Ottoman Commander
secondary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by years of warfare. His dark beard is streaked with gray, and his piercing dark eyes survey the battlefield with calculated intensity. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Venetian Archer
background
A lean, wiry man in his late twenties with sun-weathered skin and a short, unkempt beard. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing bows, and his face bears a fresh scar across the left cheekbone. His dark brown hair is tied back with a simple leather strap to keep it out of his eyes during combat.
Ottoman Janissary
background
A battle-hardened elite soldier in his late 20s, with a muscular build and weathered face. His dark eyes are focused intently above him as he climbs, and his short beard is dusted with stone fragments from the wall. A distinctive white bork hat identifies him as one of the Sultan's elite troops.
Dialog
Venetian Captain
Brothers in arms, stand firm! Let them remember Negroponte did not fall without cost. Pro patria mori!
Venetian Soldier
Captain... their Janissaries are forming a testudo at the breach. We won’t hold them long.
Ottoman Commander
Forward, my blades! Break their walls and leave no quarter. The sultan’s justice comes for them.
Venetian Soldier
If we’re to die today, let’s make them pay in blood for every step.
Venetian Captain
Aim for their standard-bearer—cut the head, the beast falters.
Ottoman Commander
They cling to their walls like drowning men to driftwood. End this.
Venetian Soldier
By Saint Mark’s lion... they’re through the gate!
