TNGF
SELECTED
Charles V
primary
A young man of 20 years, with a slender yet regal build, a prominent Habsburg jaw, and piercing blue eyes that reflect both youth and the weight of responsibility. His fair complexion is framed by shoulder-length auburn hair, neatly combed for the occasion.
Archbishop of Cologne
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 50s with a stern yet dignified countenance. His silver hair is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes command attention. His hands are delicate, suggesting a life of scholarship rather than labor.
Elector of Saxony
secondary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build, with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes that betray a sharp intellect. His face is framed by a neatly trimmed beard, streaked with gray, and his posture exudes authority despite the tension in the room.
Imperial Herald
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a lean, upright posture, his face clean-shaven and slightly weathered from years of service. His sharp, observant eyes are framed by thin eyebrows, and his short, dark hair is neatly trimmed beneath his official cap.
Noble Witness
background
A middle-aged nobleman of high standing, with a well-groomed beard and sharp features. His posture is erect, betraying his noble upbringing, and his hands are clasped together in front of him, fingers interlaced. His eyes are fixed on the ceremony with a mix of reverence and solemnity.
