Earl of Arran

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by years of battle. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey and tied back in a short queue, and his piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with keen focus. A thick beard covers his strong jawline, and his posture exudes authority.

Earl of Angus

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by years of battle. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey and kept short, his beard neatly trimmed. His piercing blue eyes scan the moor with a hunter's focus. A scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a souvenir from past conflicts.

Sir Ralph Eure

A middle-aged English commander with a sturdy, military build, standing tall with broad shoulders. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a sharp nose and deep-set eyes. His short-cropped beard is streaked with gray, and a long scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles. His hands are calloused, gripping the reins of his horse with practiced ease.

secondary

A wiry, rugged man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin and a close-cropped beard. His keen eyes are narrowed in focus, honed by years of hunting in the Scottish lowlands.
