Charles V

John Frederick I

A robust man in his early forties with a thick beard and a strong, square jaw. His face bears the marks of battle and stress, with deep-set eyes that reflect both defiance and weariness. His build is sturdy, accustomed to the rigors of leadership and warfare.

Imperial Captain

A battle-hardened officer in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of military training.

His dark brown hair is cropped short, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with sharp focus.

Protestant Soldier

A young man in his mid-20s, with a wiry but strong build, his face streaked with mud and sweat. His short, dark hair is matted from wearing a helmet, and his beard is unkempt. He has a deep gash on his left arm, and his movements are labored from exhaustion and injury.

Dialog

Charles V By the grace of God and the might of our arms, the rebellion is crushed. Let this be a lesson to all who would defy the Holy Church and Empire.

John Frederick I You may take my lands and my freedom, Charles, but you will never take my faith. The Word of God is not yours to command.

Imperial Captain The river crossing is secured, Your Majesty. The heretics flee in disarray—shall we pursue?

Charles V No. Let them scatter like chaff before the wind. The Elector's capture is victory enough this day.

John Frederick I Your mercy is as cold as the steel at my throat. Do not pretend this is anything but tyranny.

Imperial Captain The flank is holding, but we must secure the prisoners before nightfall. Orders, Majesty?

Charles V See the Elector bound for Wittenberg under heavy guard. The rest shall answer to imperial justice.
