TNGF
SELECTED
Georg Truchsess von Waldburg
primary
A middle-aged Swabian nobleman with a stern, weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with calculated precision. Broad-shouldered and imposing in his armor, he carries himself with the confidence of a seasoned commander. A neatly trimmed beard frames his jaw, streaked with early gray.
Peasant Leader
primary
A burly man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin and a thick, unkempt beard streaked with gray. His muscular frame bears the marks of hard labor, with calloused hands and a deep scar running across his left cheekbone. His dark eyes burn with intensity beneath heavy brows.
Cavalry Officer
secondary
A lean, battle-hardened man in his early 30s with a weathered face marked by a diagonal scar across his left cheek. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with military precision. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his sallet helmet.
Peasant Fighter
secondary
A gaunt, middle-aged man with sun-weathered skin and a wiry build, his face streaked with mud and sweat. His hands are calloused from years of labor, now gripping a crude flail with desperate determination. His hair is matted and unkempt, sticking to his forehead in the damp air.
Wounded Peasant
background
A middle-aged man with a wiry build, his face streaked with mud and blood. His sunken cheeks and deep-set eyes speak of hardship, while his calloused hands grip the earth as he crawls. A deep gash on his thigh stains his ragged clothing crimson.
