Characters

Bartolomeo d'Alviano
primary
A rugged and battle-hardened condottiero in his late 40s, with a broad frame built from decades of warfare. His face is weathered by sun and wind, marked by a prominent scar running across his left cheekbone. Dark, piercing eyes under thick brows give him a commanding presence. His graying beard is trimmed short, and his hair, streaked with silver, is tied back in a simple warrior's knot.
French Captain
primary
A seasoned French officer in his late 30s, with a strong and imposing build. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a sharp jawline and piercing blue eyes that command attention. A well-trimmed beard frames his face, and his hair is cropped short beneath his helmet.
Venetian Standard Bearer
secondary
A young soldier in his early 20s, lean but muscular from military training. His face is streaked with sweat and dirt, and his dark brown hair is tousled from the wind and battle. His green eyes are wide with a mix of determination and fear. His hands are calloused but grip the banner pole tightly.
French Halberdier
secondary
A battle-hardened infantryman in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of wielding heavy polearms. His face is weathered, with a thick beard matted with sweat and mud. Scars mark his forearms where gauntlets fail to protect. His eyes are steely, focused with the intensity of a veteran who has survived multiple campaigns.
Venetian Crossbowman
background
A middle-aged Venetian soldier with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin, his face streaked with dirt and sweat. His dark hair is matted beneath a padded coif, and his left leg bears a deep gash from enemy fire, staining his hose crimson.
