Characters

Pope Julius II
primary
A frail, elderly man in his late 60s, lying weakly on the bed. His once-commanding frame is now gaunt, with sunken cheeks and a pallid complexion. His piercing eyes, though dimmed by illness, still retain a trace of their former intensity. His white hair is thin and unkempt, and his hands tremble slightly.
Cardinal Giovanni de' Medici
primary
A robust man in his late thirties with a round, florid face framed by carefully groomed dark brown hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His heavy-lidded eyes convey both intelligence and a calculating nature, while his full lips suggest indulgence. His hands are soft but strong, adorned with several ecclesiastical rings.
Physician
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp features and a neatly trimmed beard. His hands are clean and delicate, accustomed to the precise work of his profession. His dark eyes are observant, missing no detail as he tends to his patient.
Servant
background
A young man in his mid-twenties, slight of build with a wiry frame. His dark hair is cropped short, and his rough hands suggest years of manual labor. His sharp features are softened by a perpetually attentive expression.
Cardinal Raffaele Riario
secondary
A man in his mid-40s with a lean, aristocratic frame and sharp patrician features. His olive complexion is framed by neatly trimmed dark brown hair just beginning to show threads of silver. His observant hazel eyes are set beneath arched brows that give him a perpetually calculating expression.
