TNGF
SELECTED
Francesco Ferruccio
primary
A battle-hardened condottiero in his late 40s, with a muscular but now battered frame. His face bears the marks of countless campaigns—a deep scar running from left temple to jawline, a broken nose that never set properly, and sun-weathered skin. His dark hair is streaked with gray and matted with sweat and blood, his beard short and unkempt. He clutches a deep wound in his side, staining his gambeson crimson.
Fabrizio Maramaldo
primary
A grizzled mercenary captain in his late 40s, with a wiry but strong frame hardened by decades of campaigning. His face is deeply lined from sun and battle, with a broken nose from some forgotten skirmish. Dark eyes gleam with cold calculation beneath thick eyebrows. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to jawline, pulling his mouth into a permanent half-sneer.
Imperial Soldier
secondary
A young, wiry soldier in his mid-20s, with a sun-weathered face and a sparse beard. His hands are calloused from swordplay, and his left cheek bears a fresh scratch from battle. His dark brown eyes show hesitation beneath his simple iron sallet helmet.
Florentine Standard-Bearer
secondary
A rugged Florentine soldier in his late 30s, bearing the scars of previous battles. His sun-weathered face is framed by a short, unkempt brown beard streaked with dust and sweat. Muscular from years of carrying the heavy standard into battle, he moves with the heaviness of exhaustion yet remains fiercely protective. His left arm bears a deep gash from earlier fighting, staining his sleeve crimson.
Imperial Archer
background
A seasoned Imperial archer in his late 30s, wiry and sunburnt from years of campaigning. His calloused hands grip his longbow with practiced ease, though they now tremble slightly in shock. His weathered face bears a deep scar across the left cheekbone, and his matted brown hair is tied back with a leather cord.
Dialog
Francesco Ferruccio
Per Dio, Maramaldo! So the Imperial lapdog bites only wounded men now?
Fabrizio Maramaldo
Finish him, you trembling cur! Or shall I gut you alongside this Florentine trash?
Imperial Soldier
Mein Gott... Herr Hauptmann, he cannot even stand!
Francesco Ferruccio
(choking laugh) Florence will remember this day, butcher. And spit on your name long after the worms take you.
Fabrizio Maramaldo
Then let the worms wait their turn! Stab him through or I'll flay you alive!
Imperial Soldier
Scheisse... forgive me, signore...
Francesco Ferruccio
Not... your fault, boy. But tell your grandchildren... how Maramaldo murders dying men.
