TNGF
SELECTED
Confederate Captain
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick red beard streaked with grey. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and a jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Irish Sergeant
secondary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry build, sunken cheeks from weeks of siege rations, and a thick red beard streaked with gray. His face bears a long scar across the left cheekbone from previous battles. His hands are calloused and stained with gunpowder.
Artilleryman
secondary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a muscular build, his face weathered from years of exposure to gunpowder and the elements. His hands are calloused from handling heavy cannonballs and tools, and his beard is singed in places from sparks. His eyes are sharp and focused, trained on his work.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young Irish defender in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build from years of campaigning. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his dark hair matted with blood from a head wound. His left leg is bandaged with a torn strip of his own shirt, the fabric soaked through with blood.
Dialog
Confederate Captain
Hold the gate, lads! Let not a single one of Cromwell's dogs set foot within these walls!
Irish Sergeant
A Dhia! They're bringin' up the siege ladders—pikemen, to the walls!
Confederate Captain
Steady now, lads. Let 'em come close enough to see the whites of their eyes before ye loose a volley.
Irish Sergeant
By the saints, we'll make 'em pay for every inch o' ground!
Confederate Captain
Remember, men—better to die on your feet than live on your knees before these butchers.
Irish Sergeant
Aye, Captain. We'll give 'em a tale to tell their grandchildren—if any live to tell it!
Confederate Captain
For God and for Ireland! Charge!
