TNGF
SELECTED
King James IV of Scotland
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 40s with a strong, regal bearing. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a well-groomed auburn beard and piercing blue eyes that command attention. His hands bear the calluses of a warrior-king who still trains with his men.
Earl of Surrey (Thomas Howard)
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 50s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His graying beard is neatly trimmed, and his posture exudes authority. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his piercing gaze commands attention.
Scottish Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous conflicts. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and mud, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and concern for his king and countrymen.
English Archer
secondary
A lean, wiry man in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and sharp, focused eyes. His arms are sinewy from years of longbow practice, with calloused fingers that grip his weapon with practiced ease. A thin scar runs along his left cheekbone, a remnant of past battles.
Scottish Standard Bearer
background
A rugged, middle-aged soldier with a weathered face and a strong build, his muscles straining as he holds the heavy banner aloft. His hair is matted with sweat and mud, and his beard is flecked with dirt from the battlefield.
