TNGF
SELECTED
Venetian Captain
primary
A battle-weary man in his late 40s, his face lined with exhaustion and streaked with dirt and sweat. His once-imposing frame now slumps slightly from fatigue, but his dark brown eyes still burn with resolve. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to the corner of his mouth, a testament to previous battles fought.
Sergeant
secondary
A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a muscular but weary build. His face is weathered, with deep lines from years of campaigning, and a thick, graying beard. A fresh scar runs across his left cheek, still bleeding slightly. His hands are calloused and bear the marks of numerous battles.
Ottoman Commander
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, a neatly trimmed black beard streaked with grey, and piercing dark eyes. His posture exudes authority, and his muscular frame suggests years of military training.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young Venetian defender in his late twenties, with a gaunt and pallid face from blood loss. His muscular build—once honed for battle—now appears wasted, with his chainmail and tunic soaked in his own blood. His dark hair is matted with sweat and dust, and his unfocused eyes betray the fading light of consciousness. A deep gash across his abdomen bleeds steadily, staining the stones beneath him.
Janissary
background
A tall, muscular Ottoman soldier in his late 20s, with a weathered face and a short, dark beard. His piercing dark eyes show no mercy as he moves with the disciplined efficiency of a trained warrior. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his posture exudes the confidence of a soldier who has seen many battles.
Dialog
Venetian Captain
Sergeant! Rally what's left of the crossbowmen at the inner gate! If we must die, let it be with iron in our hands, not sandals on our feet!
Sergeant
Aye, Captain. Though by my count, we've three bolts left among us, and half those bastards are already in the courtyard.
Ottoman Commander
You will lay down your arms, Venetian. The Sultan grants mercy to those who kneel before the crescent banner.
Venetian Captain
Mercy? Like you showed to the women in the cistern? No, Turk—today you'll pay in Janissary blood for every stone of Negroponte!
Sergeant
Captain... the powder magazine. If we can't hold the gate...
Ottoman Commander
Foolishness. Your Republic abandoned you here. Does their gold warm your corpses?
Venetian Captain
Then let Venice remember how her wolves died—with Turkish throats in our teeth! FOR SAN MARCO!
