A rugged, middle-aged man with a strong, wiry build, weathered skin from years of campaigning, and piercing blue eyes that command attention.

A heavily armored knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by previous battles.

Dialog
Charles the Bold
By the blood of Saint Denis! These Swiss peasants dare to defy us? Deploy the artillery at once—let them taste Burgundian steel!
Swiss Captain
Hold the line, men! Let them come to us. The ground favors our pikes—they'll break like waves upon our shore.
Swiss Halberdier
Aye, Captain. Their horses will founder in this mud. We'll gut them like boars in a thicket.
Charles the Bold
Fools! They think their sticks can stop knights? Sound the charge—I want their heads on pikes by noon!
Swiss Captain
Steady now... wait for my signal. Let them waste their strength climbing to us.
Swiss Halberdier
Look there—their left flank falters already. The ground's too soft for their fancy armor.
Charles the Bold
Cowards! They hide behind dirt like rats! Forward, or I'll have the laggards flogged!
