TNGF

SELECTED

Pope Julius II

primary

A gaunt, elderly man in his late 60s with a prominent nose and deep-set eyes. His once-powerful frame is now weakened by illness, but his piercing gaze still commands authority. His white hair is thinning, and his skin is pallid with the approach of death.

Cardinal Giovanni de' Medici

primary

A man in his late 30s with a round, fleshy face and deep-set, calculating eyes. His complexion is pale, with a slight flush from the tension of the moment. He has a full head of dark brown hair, neatly trimmed, and a carefully groomed beard. His build is stout, suggesting a life of comfort and indulgence.

Cardinal Raffaele Riario

secondary

A man in his early 50s with a sharp, angular face and piercing dark eyes. His frame is lean but carries an air of authority. His hands are well-manicured, and his posture exudes confidence. His thinning hair is neatly trimmed, and he sports a carefully groomed beard.

Physician

secondary

A middle-aged man with a lean, scholarly build, his face marked by deep lines of concentration and concern. His dark eyes are sharp and observant, framed by thin wire-rimmed spectacles perched on his nose. His hands are steady but show the wear of years of meticulous work.

Servant

background

A middle-aged man of slight build, with weathered hands and a humble demeanor. His face is lined with years of service, and his dark hair is streaked with gray. His eyes are downcast, avoiding direct contact with the cardinals and the dying Pope.

Dialog

Pope Julius II By the blood of Christ... my work is unfinished... the Church must not falter...

Cardinal Giovanni de' Medici Your Holiness' legacy is assured. The Sistine Chapel shall stand as testament to your divine vision for generations to come.

Cardinal Raffaele Riario The conclave must proceed with wisdom, lest we invite discord in these... delicate times.

Pope Julius II Medici... you think I don't see your ambition? The chair of Peter is not... a Medici bauble!

Cardinal Giovanni de' Medici I seek only to serve Holy Mother Church, as your eminence has so magnificently done. The Lord will choose His servant in His time.

Cardinal Raffaele Riario The College requires unity now more than ever. Perhaps a candidate of... broader appeal?

Pope Julius II Jupiter's thunder... I would rise again... to see this conclave done right...
