TNGF
SELECTED
Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 50s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His short, graying beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing gaze reflects years of military experience. His hands are calloused from wielding weapons, and his posture exudes authority.
Spanish Captain
secondary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His muscular build and upright posture betray years of military discipline. His dark hair is streaked with grey and tied back in a short ponytail.
French Commander
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, sunken eyes from lack of sleep, and a short, unkempt beard. His build is lean but strong, with broad shoulders that bear the weight of command. His hands are calloused, and there's a fresh cut on his left cheek from a recent skirmish.
Spanish Soldier
background
A weary, mud-splattered soldier in his late twenties, with a lean but muscular build from years of campaigning. His face is gaunt from hunger and fatigue, with a short, unkempt beard and sunken eyes that still burn with determination. His hands are calloused and chapped from the cold, gripping his weapon tightly.
French Soldier
background
A weary, middle-aged man with a gaunt face, sunken eyes, and a short, unkempt beard. His hands are calloused and dirty from labor, and his posture is slightly hunched from exhaustion. His uniform is tattered and stained with mud, and his hair is matted under a worn cap.

Dialog

Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba The French are cornered like wolves in a trap. Captain, order the arquebusiers to advance—let them feel the bite of Spanish steel.
Spanish Captain At once, mi general. The men are ready. Their powder is dry despite this cursed mud.
French Commander Hold the line, you dogs! Let them come—we’ll make them choke on their own arrogance!
Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba See how they cling to their fortifications? Like rats to a sinking ship. Captain, signal the cavalry to flank them from the east.
Spanish Captain It will be done. The ground is treacherous, but our horses are sure-footed.
French Commander Merde! They’re flanking us! Archers, loose at will—buy us time!
Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba Now we press the advantage. Let the river run red with their defiance.
