TNGF
SELECTED
Charles V
primary
A man in his late twenties, with a strong Habsburg jawline and a slightly receding hairline. His piercing blue eyes survey the scene with a mix of solemnity and calculation. His posture is erect, befitting his imperial status, and his hands are steady despite the weight of the moment.
Pope Clement VII
primary
A man in his early 50s with a gaunt, ascetic face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His thinning grey hair is partially covered by the papal tiara. His posture is erect but slightly stooped, suggesting both authority and the weight of his office.
Spanish Noble
secondary
A tall, middle-aged man with a proud bearing, his dark hair streaked with silver and a neatly trimmed beard. His sharp, hawk-like features and piercing dark eyes reflect his noble lineage and military background. His posture is erect, exuding confidence and authority.
Italian Noble
secondary
A middle-aged man of slender build with sharp, angular features and a neatly trimmed beard. His dark brown eyes are keen and observant, reflecting both intelligence and a hint of wariness. His posture is upright, conveying nobility, but there's a tension in his shoulders.
Cardinal
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight but dignified stature, with a pale complexion and sharp, discerning eyes. His thin lips are pressed together in concentration, and his high forehead is framed by neatly trimmed grey hair. His hands are delicate, suggesting a life of scholarly and clerical work rather than manual labor.
Guard Captain
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, a thick mustache, and piercing blue eyes. His stance is rigid, reflecting years of military discipline, and his hands are calloused from wielding weapons. A faint scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to past battles.
Dialog
Pope Clement VII
Per divinam misericordiam et auctoritatem apostolicam, te Carolum Quintum, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, coronamus Imperatorem Romanorum...
Charles V
Accepto hoc onere, non mea voluntas, sed Dei et imperii servitium facio. Sic fiat.
Spanish Noble
El Imperio se fortalece hoy, pero los ojos de Italia no descansan. Vigilemos, como el halcón a su presa.
Pope Clement VII
Deo volente, questa corona porterà pace ai regni cristiani...
Charles V
Pax Christi regnat ubi voluntas principum concordat cum iustitia Dei. Hoc regnum non est meum, sed eius qui me misit.
