TNGF
SELECTED
James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 40s with a weathered but aristocratic face, piercing blue eyes, and a well-groomed beard streaked with grey. His broad shoulders and upright posture exude authority, though his expression is strained with the weight of command.
Michael Jones
primary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build, with a weathered face marked by the rigors of military campaigns. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with sharp focus. A prominent scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to previous engagements.
Royalist Cavalry Officer
secondary
A seasoned cavalry leader in his late 30s, with a lean, muscular build honed by years of mounted combat. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to the corner of his mouth, a testament to previous battles. His piercing blue eyes are sharp with focus, and his dark brown hair is tied back in a simple leather thong.
Parliamentarian Musketeer
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties with a sunburnt face and a short, unkempt beard. His hands are calloused from handling his musket, and his eyes are sharp with focus. He has a slight limp from an old wound but moves with purpose.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young man in his early twenties, lean but muscular from military training, now weakened by blood loss. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his hair matted with dust. A deep gash runs across his left thigh, staining his breeches crimson, and his right arm hangs limp at his side, possibly dislocated or broken.

Press the advantage. Musketeers, volley on my mark.

Rally the dragoons to the eastern lane - now, before they cut us off!

Cavalry, sweep their right. No quarter.
James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde
Damn this Jones - he moves like a fox in the henhouse!
