TNGF
SELECTED
Scottish Commander
primary
A grizzled Highland chieftain in his late 40s, with a muscular build honed by years of warfare. His face is weathered, with deep-set eyes under thick brows, a broken nose from past battles, and a full, unkempt beard streaked with gray. A long scar runs from his left temple to his jawline.
English Captain
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by a deep scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thick, dark brows, and his short-cropped brown hair is streaked with grey. His posture is rigid, reflecting years of military discipline.
Highland Archer
secondary
A rugged man in his late twenties, lean and wiry from years of training with the longbow. His sun-weathered face bears a few scars, and his keen eyes are sharp from spotting distant targets. His dark hair is tied back with a leather thong, and a thick beard covers his jaw.
Musketeer
secondary
A wiry English gunner in his late 20s, with sunken cheeks and a permanent squint from years of staring down musket barrels. His hands are blackened with gunpowder residue, and a fresh burn mark streaks his right forearm from a misfire. A thin mustache frames his tightly set mouth.
Wounded Piper
background
A middle-aged Scottish piper, thin and wiry from years of marching. His face is gaunt, with deep-set eyes shadowed by exhaustion and pain. His red hair is streaked with grey, matted with sweat and dirt. A jagged wound mars his side, staining his plaid with dark blood.
