TNGF
SELECTED
Swiss Mercenary Captain
primary
A rugged, battle-hardened man in his late 30s with a muscular build from years of wielding pikes. His face bears several scars, including a prominent one across his left cheekbone. His sun-weathered skin and piercing blue eyes give him a commanding presence. His dark brown hair is cropped short under his helmet, and his beard is neatly trimmed.
French Nobleman
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a well-groomed beard and piercing blue eyes. His face bears the weathered look of a seasoned commander, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his cheekbone. His posture exudes authority despite the chaos around him.
Milanese Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of combat. His face is weathered and bears a jagged scar across his left cheek, a memento from a previous battle. His dark, piercing eyes survey the battlefield with focused intensity.
French Foot Soldier
secondary
A lean, sunburnt man in his late twenties with a week's growth of beard and wild, sweat-matted hair. His eyes are wide with panic, and a fresh cut across his left cheek drips blood onto his padded jack. His hands tremble around the grip of his broken spear.
Swiss Pikeman
background
A rugged, battle-hardened mercenary in his late 20s, with a wiry but muscular build. His face is weathered by years of campaigning, with a short beard and sunken eyes. His hands are calloused from gripping the pike, and his stance is firm, trained by countless hours of drilling.
