TNGF
SELECTED
Swiss Halberdier
primary
A battle-hardened Swiss infantryman in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of combat training. His face is weathered, with a thick beard and a scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheek. His hands are calloused from gripping his halberd, and his stance is wide and ready for battle.
Swabian Knight
primary
A battle-worn knight in his late 30s, broad-shouldered with a muscular build honed by years of combat. His face bears the scars of previous engagements, with a prominent slash across his left cheekbone. Piercing blue eyes peer out from beneath his sallet helmet, which shows fresh dents from recent blows. His gauntleted hands grip his sword tightly, the steel blade nicked and bloodied.
Swabian Squire
secondary
A young male attendant, approximately 16-18 years old, with a slender but wiry build. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, with a fresh cut across his left cheek. His light brown hair is matted under a simple padded cap, and his eyes show a mix of fear and determination.
Swiss Crossbowman
secondary
A rugged Swiss marksman in his late 30s, with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin. His sharp eyes scan the battlefield as he moves with practiced efficiency. A jagged scar runs across his right forearm, a testament to past conflicts.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young Swabian infantryman in his early twenties, lean but muscular from years of marching and combat. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his short brown hair matted with blood from a deep gash on his forehead. His left leg is badly wounded, leaving a trail of blood as he crawls.
