Mirabello Park, near Pavia, Italy — an open battlefield with scattered trees, marshy ground, and patches of frost.

TNGF

SELECTED

King Francis I

primary

A tall, robust man in his early 30s with a commanding presence, his face framed by a well-groomed auburn beard. His piercing blue eyes, usually full of confidence, now show a mix of shock and defiance. His armor bears the dents and scratches of battle, and his once-regal posture is slightly hunched from the weight of the moment.

Charles de Lannoy

primary

A middle-aged Habsburg commander in his early 40s, with a weathered but composed face, sharp features, and a well-groomed beard. His posture is upright and commanding, with the bearing of a seasoned military leader. His piercing eyes are keen and calculating, surveying the battlefield with a strategic gaze.

Imperial Arquebusier

secondary

A wiry Spanish foot soldier in his late 20s, with sun-weathered olive skin and deep-set brown eyes. His face is partially obscured by a thin black beard grown during the campaign. Calloused hands grip his arquebus with practiced ease, though his left shoulder bears a fresh scar from a previous skirmish.

French Knight

secondary

A sturdy nobleman in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by previous battles. His dark hair is cropped short beneath his helmet, and his piercing blue eyes reflect the determination of a seasoned warrior. His muscular build suggests years of rigorous training, and a jagged scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to his combat experience.

Wounded French Horseman

background

A young French cavalryman in his early twenties, with a wiry but muscular build from years of horseback riding and military training. His face is streaked with mud and sweat, and a deep gash on his left arm is bleeding through his torn sleeve. His light brown hair is matted with grime, and his blue eyes are wide with pain and fear.
