TNGF
SELECTED
Oliver Cromwell
primary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His hair is cropped short in the Puritan style, and he sports a thick mustache. His expression is intense, with a furrowed brow and piercing gaze that reflects his determination and fervor.
Sir Thomas Fairfax
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a stern, weathered face, piercing blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture is upright and commanding, exuding authority and confidence. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his gaze is sharp, constantly assessing the battlefield.
Royalist Officer
secondary
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, sunken cheeks, and a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey and tied back in a loose queue. His build is lean but muscular, typical of a seasoned cavalry officer. His piercing blue eyes are wide with alarm, and his lips are pressed into a thin line of desperation.
Parliamentarian Ensign
secondary
A young man in his late teens, slight of build but wiry, with a dust-streaked face and short, sweat-darkened brown hair. His hands are blistered from gripping the flagpole, and his cheeks are flushed with exertion. His light blue eyes are wide with a mix of determination and fear.
Royalist Drummer
background
A young boy, no more than 14 years of age, with a slight build and a face smudged with dirt and sweat. His hair is tousled and damp, sticking to his forehead. His hands are calloused from gripping the drumsticks, and his uniform is tattered from the rigors of battle.
