TNGF
SELECTED
Charles the Bold
primary
A powerfully built man in his early 40s, with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes that burn with determination. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his cheekbone. His once-fine Burgundian armor is now battered and bloodied, the surcoat bearing the Burgundian cross torn and muddied.
René II
secondary
A nobleman in his late twenties, with sharp features and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and he carries himself with the bearing of a ruler.
Swiss mercenary
secondary
A battle-hardened soldier in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of warfare. His face bears several old scars, including a prominent one across his left cheekbone. His beard is trimmed short, flecked with grey, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with practiced vigilance.
Lorrainer soldier
background
A rugged man in his late twenties, with a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His dark brown hair is matted under a padded coif, and his beard is trimmed short but unkempt. His build is lean but muscular, with broad shoulders from years of wielding weapons. His hands are calloused and bear the scars of previous battles.

Stand fast, men of Burgundy! Let not these Swiss dogs think they have broken us!

By the blood of my ancestors, I will not yield Lorraine to you, René!

Then fall as you lived, Charles—unyielding to the last.

For Burgundy! For glory!
