TNGF
SELECTED
Francesco de' Pazzi
primary
A nobleman in his late 30s, with a lean but aristocratic build. His dark hair is disheveled from the struggle, and his face bears the pallor of impending death. His sharp, angular features are accentuated by the harsh light of the noonday sun.
Medici Official
primary
A middle-aged man of average height with a stern, composed demeanor. His sharp, calculating eyes are framed by thin, arched eyebrows, and his clean-shaven face bears the marks of authority. His posture is upright, exuding confidence and control.
Executioner
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man of indeterminate age, his face obscured by a traditional leather executioner's hood with only narrow eye slits. His hands are large and calloused from years of handling ropes and tools of his trade. The hood drapes over his shoulders, casting his features in shadow and adding to his imposing presence.
Angry Citizen
secondary
A middle-aged Florentine commoner with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and calloused hands. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back with a simple leather cord. His face is contorted with rage, veins bulging at his temples.
Witnessing Monk
background
A middle-aged Dominican friar with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a tonsured head. His hands are clasped in prayer, and his posture is slightly hunched, as if bearing the weight of the solemn moment.
Dialog
Francesco de' Pazzi
May the Medici choke on their gold as I choke on this rope! Your tyranny will not go unanswered!
Medici Official
Justice is served, Francesco. The Republic sees traitors for what they are. Let this be a lesson to all who would conspire against Florence.
Angry Citizen
Rot in hell, Pazzi dog! Your blood is too good for the gutter!
Francesco de' Pazzi
You cheer now, sheep, but remember - the wolf always comes for the flock.
Medici Official
Enough. Let God judge his soul. Proceed.
