Ottoman Commander
secondary
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set dark eyes, and a thick black beard streaked with gray. His muscular build suggests years of military training, and a prominent scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Akkoyunlu Commander
secondary
A rugged warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of combat. His face bears several scars, the most prominent being a jagged line across his left cheekbone.
