TNGF
SELECTED
Napoleon Bonaparte
primary
A short but imposing figure in his late twenties, with a pale complexion, sharp features, and piercing gray eyes. His dark brown hair is cut short in the fashionable 'Brutus' style of the Directory period. He carries himself with the confidence of a military commander, despite his relatively young age.
Count Ludwig von Cobenzl
primary
A middle-aged Austrian nobleman with a slender but dignified build, standing at average height. His sharp, angular features are accentuated by a neatly trimmed goatee and piercing blue eyes that convey both intelligence and weariness. His powdered wig, slightly askew from the long negotiations, is tied back with a black silk ribbon.
French Aide
secondary
A young French officer in his mid-20s, with a lean but athletic build. He has short, dark brown hair tied back in a modest queue, clean-shaven face with sharp features, and alert brown eyes that dart between Napoleon and the documents. His posture is upright with military precision, though his shoulders show slight tension from the high-stakes environment.
Austrian Secretary
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp features and thinning brown hair tied back in a neat queue. His pale complexion suggests long hours spent indoors, and his wire-rimmed spectacles perch precariously on his narrow nose.
Guard Captain
background
A tall, broad-shouldered French soldier in his early 30s with a stern, clean-shaven face and piercing blue eyes. His military bearing is impeccable, with a straight posture that commands respect. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Dialog
Napoleon Bonaparte
The Rhine must be our natural frontier, Cobenzl. France cannot be secure while German princes play at sovereignty on our doorstep.
Count Ludwig von Cobenzl
Your Excellency must understand that such... territorial adjustments would create most unfortunate circumstances for certain principalities under Imperial protection.
Austrian Secretary
If it please Your Excellencies, Article Seven specifies the cession of Lombardy - shall I record the exact boundaries as marked in red ink?
Napoleon Bonaparte
Mark them exactly. The Italian people will thank us for bringing order to these ancient divisions.
Count Ludwig von Cobenzl
For the sake of lasting peace between our nations, we might accept these terms... provided the matter of Venetian territories is resolved to mutual satisfaction.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Venice? That dying republic? Let us not pretend she still breathes when we both hold the pillow.
Austrian Secretary
Shall I prepare the final copies for signing? The seals are ready, and the witnesses wait in the antechamber.
