TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Alexander VI
primary
A man in his early 60s with a robust, slightly corpulent build, his face marked by the lines of age and authority. His piercing dark eyes convey both intelligence and a calculating nature, framed by thinning gray hair and a neatly trimmed beard.
Cardinal Borgia
secondary
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with sharp, calculating eyes and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture exudes confidence and authority, befitting his station as a trusted advisor to the Pope.
Senior Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean build, sharp features, and a slightly hunched posture from years of bending over manuscripts. His hands are stained with ink, and his eyes are keen and observant, accustomed to scrutinizing documents for errors.
Junior Scribe
background
A young man in his early twenties, slight of build with delicate hands accustomed to handling parchment. His dark hair is neatly trimmed, and his pale complexion suggests long hours spent indoors. His eyes are wide with a mixture of awe and nervousness.
Cardinal Orsini
background
A middle-aged cardinal with a lean, ascetic build and sharp, angular features. His deep-set eyes are framed by thin, arched eyebrows, and his pale complexion contrasts with his dark, thinning hair. His hands are delicate, with long fingers that occasionally twitch with restrained tension.

Dialog

Pope Alexander VI By the authority vested in us by Christ and Saint Peter, we decree these lands under the dominion of Their Most Catholic Majesties, that the light of faith may spread to the farthest shores.
Cardinal Borgia A momentous act, Your Holiness. The Church extends her reach where even the eagles of Rome did not soar.
Senior Scribe The ink is set, Your Holiness. The bull is prepared for sealing, as prescribed by canon law.
Pope Alexander VI Let it be known to all Christendom that we act not for earthly gain, but for the salvation of souls and the glory of God's kingdom.
Cardinal Borgia The Portuguese will not take kindly to this adjustment of their... maritime privileges.
Pope Alexander VI Let them contend with the successor of Peter at their peril. The line is drawn by divine will, not mortal complaint.
