TNGF
SELECTED
Venetian Captain
primary
A battle-hardened man in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a face lined with scars and exhaustion. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a simple leather thong. His piercing blue eyes show both weariness and unyielding resolve.
Ottoman Commander
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His dark beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing dark eyes exude authority. A scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Venetian Soldier
secondary
A battle-weary defender in his late 30s, with a muscular but exhausted build, his face streaked with dirt and sweat. His short, dark beard is matted with dust, and his eyes are bloodshot from lack of sleep. A deep gash on his left forearm is roughly bandaged with a strip of torn cloth.
Ottoman Soldier
secondary
A young, battle-hardened warrior in his mid-20s, with a muscular build and sun-darkened skin. His face is marked with fresh scratches and old scars, and his dark eyes burn with a mix of anticipation and battle-lust. He grips his yataghan sword tightly, its curved blade reflecting the dim light.
Venetian Priest
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with deep-set eyes shadowed by exhaustion. His face is lined with care, and his hands are calloused from both prayer and tending to the wounded. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back loosely beneath his simple cap.

Dialog

Venetian Captain The walls have fallen, but our honor remains. I ask for terms that spare my men and the city's people.
Ottoman Commander Your courage is noted, Captain. Lay down your arms, and your men shall live. The city is ours by right of conquest.
Venetian Priest In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti... May God receive this soul with mercy.
Venetian Captain And the civilians? Will they be granted safe passage?
Ottoman Commander Those who submit to the Sultan's rule shall live. Resistance will be met with the sword's edge.
Venetian Priest Captain... the wounded cannot fight. Let us tend to them before the end.
Venetian Captain Very well. We accept your terms. But know this—Venice will remember Negroponte.
