TNGF
SELECTED
Jean-Baptiste Colbert
primary
A middle-aged man of slight build with sharp, calculating eyes and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture is erect, exuding authority, and his hands are delicate yet purposeful, accustomed to handling documents of state.
Dutch Negotiator
primary
A tall, middle-aged man with a stern yet composed demeanor, his sharp features accentuated by a neatly trimmed beard and piercing blue eyes. His posture exudes authority, though there is a weariness in his stance from the prolonged negotiations.
French Advisor
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build with sharp, angular features and a neatly trimmed mustache. His piercing blue eyes dart attentively between documents and his superior, Colbert. His posture is upright but subtly deferential, reflecting his subordinate position.
Dutch Advisor
secondary
A middle-aged man with a sharp, angular face and deep-set eyes that suggest years of meticulous study. His thin lips are pressed tightly together, and his graying hair is pulled back into a neat queue, secured with a black silk ribbon. His posture is upright but not rigid, indicating both discipline and weariness.
Scribe
background
A middle-aged man with a slight hunch from years of bending over parchment, his thin frame clad in modest but well-kept attire. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp features and keen eyes that dart between the document and his quill. His hands are stained with ink, a testament to his profession.

Dialog

Jean-Baptiste Colbert The terms laid before us are most equitable, Monsieur, ensuring both the prosperity of France and the security of your Republic. Let us not tarry where history beckons.
Dutch Negotiator Equitable, perhaps, but let us be clear—this treaty must stand as a bulwark against future encroachments upon our sovereignty.
Jean-Baptiste Colbert The Sun King’s word is his bond. You have our assurance that the terms shall be honored in perpetuity.
Dutch Negotiator Perpetuity is a long time, Monsieur Colbert. Let us hope the ink dries as firmly as your promises.
Jean-Baptiste Colbert Then by all means, let us proceed. The quill awaits your hand.
Dutch Negotiator For peace, then. May it endure beyond our lifetimes.
Jean-Baptiste Colbert For peace. And for the glory of our nations.
