TNGF
SELECTED
Bartolomeo d'Alviano
primary
A rugged middle-aged Venetian commander with a muscular build, weathered face, and piercing blue eyes. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a loose queue. A prominent scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to previous battles.
Venetian Standard Bearer
secondary
A sturdy man in his late twenties, with a square jaw and sun-weathered skin. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his sallet helmet, and his muscular frame strains against the weight of the banner. A fresh cut on his left cheek drips blood onto his padded gambeson.
French Artillery Captain
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late thirties with a weathered face, sharp blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture exudes confidence and authority, honed through years of military command.
Wounded Venetian Cavalryman
background
A young Venetian cavalryman in his mid-20s, with a lean and muscular build from years of training. His face is streaked with sweat and blood, and his dark hair is matted under a dented sallet helmet. His left arm is badly wounded, and his gambeson is torn where the French artillery shrapnel struck.
