SELECTED
Charles the Bold
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his early 40s with a muscular build and a commanding presence. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a strong jawline, piercing blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His hair is dark brown, slightly graying at the temples, and worn shoulder-length.
Burgundian Captain
secondary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, graying beard. His build is sturdy, with broad shoulders and a muscular frame, honed by years of combat. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Swiss Pikeman
secondary
A sturdy, battle-hardened infantryman in his late 20s, with a square jaw and short-cropped brown hair. His face is weathered from campaigns, with a fresh scar across his left cheekbone. His muscular frame is accustomed to the weight of his pike and armor.
Burgundian Knight
background
A heavily armored knight in his late 20s, with a muscular build and a determined yet weary expression. His face is partially obscured by his raised visor, revealing a short, dark beard and a scar across his left cheek. His armor is ornate, indicating his noble status, but now dented and splattered with mud from the battle.
Swiss Artillery Crewman
background
A rugged Swiss soldier in his late 20s, with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin. His face bears a fresh scar across the left cheek, and his hands are calloused from handling artillery. His dark hair is cropped short under a padded cap.
Dialog
Charles the Bold
By the blood of Christ! Rally the knights—hold the line or we are undone!
Burgundian Captain
My lord, the artillery is lost—the Swiss have taken the guns! We must fall back to the ridge!
Charles the Bold
Fall back? Never! I will not retreat before these mountain peasants!
Swiss Pikeman
Vorwärts, Männer! Halten die Linie—sie brechen!
Burgundian Captain
My lord, the left flank collapses—if we do not withdraw now, we will be encircled!
Charles the Bold
Then stand and die with honor, Captain! I will not flee like a whipped cur!
Swiss Pikeman
Sie sind fertig—vorwärts, jetzt!
