TNGF
SELECTED
Sir Thomas Fairfax
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early thirties with a weathered yet composed face. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the Puritan style, and his piercing grey eyes survey the battlefield with calm authority. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a remnant of previous engagements.
Lord Goring
primary
A disheveled Royalist commander in his late 30s, with a once-fine doublet now stained with mud and sweat. His face is flushed with exertion and frustration, his once-neatly trimmed beard now ragged.
Parliamentarian Officer
secondary
A seasoned captain in his late 30s, with a weathered face marked by a deep scar running from temple to jawline. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with the precision of a veteran soldier.
Royalist Standard Bearer
secondary
A young nobleman in his early twenties, with a slender but wiry build, his face streaked with sweat and dirt. His fair hair is tousled beneath his helmet, and his blue eyes are wide with a mix of determination and fear. His hands are blistered from gripping the heavy standard pole.
Parliamentarian Musketeer
background
A grizzled veteran with a weathered face and a thick, graying beard. His hands are calloused from years of handling muskets and powder.
