TNGF

SELECTED

Francis I of France

primary

A tall, well-built man in his early 30s with a prominent nose and piercing blue eyes. His once neatly trimmed beard is now unkempt, and his face bears the grime of battle. Despite his disheveled state, his posture and gaze exude regal defiance.

Imperial Captain

primary

A seasoned Spanish officer in his late 30s, with a lean but muscular build from years of campaigning. His face is weathered by sun and wind, with a neatly trimmed beard and piercing dark eyes that miss nothing. A long scar runs from his left temple to jawline, a souvenir from earlier battles.

Spanish Arquebusier

secondary

A young Spanish soldier in his mid-20s, lean and wiry from campaign life, with sun-weathered skin and a patchy beard. His dark eyes are alert but weary, scanning the battlefield for threats. His hands are calloused from handling his arquebus, and there's a fresh cut on his cheek from the recent skirmish.

Swiss Mercenary

secondary

A burly man in his late 30s with a square jaw and short-cropped brown hair, his face streaked with mud and blood. His left leg is badly wounded, leaving a trail of blood as he moves. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a pike.

Francis I of France By the bones of Saint Denis! To be taken thus, not by honorable combat but by these... these Spanish arquebusiers hiding behind their walls of lead!

Imperial Captain Majestad, el emperador Carlos V os espera. Rendíos con dignidad, como corresponde a vuestro estatus.

Swiss Mercenary Mein König... the squares broke... damn these Spanish guns...

Francis I of France All is not lost while France still breathes! Remember, loyal Swiss - 'Non nobis, Domine, sed nomini tuo da gloriam'.

Imperial Captain Enough! Guardias, aseguren al prisionero real. Y vos, suizo - si valoras tu vida, abandona esa pica.

Swiss Mercenary Für den... letzten Sold... mein Eid...

Francis I of France Captain! This man's loyalty does him honor. Would your emperor reward such valor with butchery?
