TNGF
SELECTED
King John III Sobieski
primary
A robust, middle-aged man with a strong, commanding presence. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a prominent nose and piercing eyes that convey both intelligence and determination. His thick mustache is well-groomed, and his hair, though graying at the temples, is still full and tied back in a simple queue.
Ottoman Commander
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set dark eyes, and a well-groomed black beard streaked with gray. His muscular build and commanding presence mark him as a seasoned warrior. A scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Polish Hussar
secondary
A formidable elite cavalryman in his late 20s to early 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of rigorous training. His face is partially obscured by a mustache and the shadow of his helmet, but his piercing eyes are visible, filled with determination. His armor gleams under the sunlight, and the iconic wings attached to his back create a striking silhouette against the battlefield.
Janissary
secondary
A battle-hardened Ottoman elite soldier in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous campaigns. His dark eyes are intense, reflecting both discipline and desperation. His beard is neatly trimmed in the Ottoman military fashion, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons.
Camp Follower
background
A middle-aged Ottoman non-combatant with a wiry frame and sun-weathered skin, his face lined with the hardships of campaign life. His dark eyes are wide with panic, and his unkempt beard is flecked with dust from the chaotic retreat.

See how they scatter like leaves before the wind! Today, Vienna is saved, and Christendom triumphs!

Curse these cowards! Where is the discipline of the Janissaries? Rally to me, or face the Sultan's wrath!

Commander, the line is broken! We must retreat or be slaughtered!
