TNGF
SELECTED
Thomas Wyatt the Younger
primary
A well-built man in his early thirties, with a strong jawline and piercing hazel eyes that reflect both defiance and weariness. His dark brown hair is slightly disheveled, and his face bears the marks of recent imprisonment—pale complexion with shadows under his eyes. His hands are bound before him, but his posture remains upright.
Executioner
secondary
A broad-shouldered man of indeterminate age, his face obscured by a traditional black leather hood with only narrow eye slits revealing dark, piercing eyes. His hands are large and calloused from years of wielding heavy blades, with thick forearms visible beneath his sleeves.
Priest
secondary
A middle-aged clergyman with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes, his thinning grey hair barely visible beneath his black skullcap. His hands are clasped together, the knuckles prominent from years of prayer and fasting.
Guard Captain
secondary
A broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent nose. His graying beard is neatly trimmed, and his hands bear the scars of decades of military service. His stance exudes authority, with a rigid posture that commands respect.
Sympathetic Spectator
background
A middle-aged commoner with a weathered face and calloused hands, standing slightly hunched as if burdened by unseen weight. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back loosely with a leather cord. Deep-set eyes betray sleepless nights, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone.

Dialog

Thomas Wyatt the Younger Father, I commend my soul to the Almighty—but mark well, this axe falls not upon a traitor's neck, but upon England's liberty.
Priest Dominus vobiscum... May God have mercy upon thy soul, my son.
Executioner The blade's well-honed today, sir. 'Twill be quick.
Thomas Wyatt the Younger Quick or slow matters little—only that men shall remember why it fell.
Priest In nomine Patris... Have you any last confession, my son?
Thomas Wyatt the Younger Only this—that I die a true Englishman, and she... she shall answer for it before a higher throne.
Executioner To the block then, sir, and have done.
