TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Paul III
primary
An elderly man in his early 70s with a full white beard and thinning white hair. His face bears the marks of age and wisdom, with deep-set eyes that convey both kindness and authority. His posture is slightly stooped but remains dignified, and his hands are delicate yet firm.
Ignatius of Loyola
primary
A middle-aged man of Basque origin, with a wiry but strong build, standing at average height. His face is gaunt, with deep-set eyes that reflect both intensity and compassion, framed by short, dark hair beginning to gray at the temples. A faint scar from a battle wound marks his right cheek, a remnant of his military past.
Jesuit Companion 1
secondary
A middle-aged man of slender build with a gaunt, ascetic face framed by a short, dark beard streaked with gray. His deep-set eyes are intense with quiet devotion, and his hands, clasped together, bear the calluses of a life spent in both prayer and labor.
Vatican Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build with a pale complexion, his sharp features accentuated by deep-set eyes and a thin nose. His hands are ink-stained from years of meticulous writing, and his posture suggests a lifetime spent hunched over parchment.
Papal Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a stern, clean-shaven face and piercing dark eyes. His muscular frame is evident even beneath his uniform, and he stands with impeccable posture, exuding discipline and strength.

Dialog

Pope Paul III By the authority vested in us by Christ and His Holy Church, we hereby approve this Society, that it may serve as a bulwark against heresy and a beacon of true faith.
Ignatius of Loyola Sanctissime Pater, we are but unworthy instruments of the Divine Will. May this Society ever serve ad maiorem Dei gloriam.
Vatican Scribe Beatissime, the document reads 'Regimini militantis Ecclesiae' in the opening line. Shall I proceed with the next clause?
Pope Paul III Proceed, fili mi. Let each word be as carefully placed as stones in the foundation of Saint Peter's.
Ignatius of Loyola Like soldiers taking their oath, we stand ready to obey as sentinels of the Holy See.
Vatican Scribe The seal is prepared, Sanctitas Vestra. The bull awaits only your final benediction.
Pope Paul III In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Let this be done for the salvation of souls and the glory of Holy Mother Church.
