TNGF
SELECTED
King Charles VIII of France
primary
A young monarch of 24 years, with a slender yet sturdy build, his clean-shaven face marked by the intense focus of command. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield beneath a shock of auburn hair, damp with sweat under his helmet. A small scar runs along his left cheekbone from a childhood accident.
Spanish Captain
primary
A battle-hardened commander in his late 40s, with a muscular build from years of military service. His sun-weathered face bears a deep scar across the left cheek, a memento from past conflicts. His dark brown eyes are sharp and calculating, framed by thick eyebrows. His short, greying beard is neatly trimmed, and his black hair is streaked with silver.
French Knight
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s, with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His piercing blue eyes are visible through the visor of his sallet helmet, and a thick, dark beard covers the lower half of his face. His muscular frame is honed by years of combat training.
Spanish Sergeant
secondary
A battle-hardened man in his late 40s, with a wiry but muscular build. His sun-darkened face is deeply lined from years of campaigning, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to the corner of his mouth. His graying beard is cropped short in military fashion, and his dark eyes burn with intensity beneath heavy brows.
French Squire
background
A slender youth of approximately 16 years, with sun-browned skin and short, tousled brown hair. His face is streaked with sweat and dust, and his lean frame is visibly straining under the weight of his duties.

King Charles VIII of France Where is their breaking point? By Pluto's beard, these Spaniards stand like the walls of Troy!
Spanish Captain Hold the line, soldados! Their horses tire—soon they'll be meat for our blades!
Spanish Sergeant ¡Rodríguez, cubre el flanco! ¡Testaferros al frente!
