TNGF
SELECTED
General Jean Humbert
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his mid-40s with a weathered face, sharp nose, and piercing dark eyes that convey both intelligence and battle-hardened experience. His hair is dark brown, tied back in a neat queue, and he sports a well-trimmed mustache. His posture is upright and commanding, with the bearing of a seasoned military leader.
Irish Rebel Leader
primary
A rugged man in his early 40s with a wiry build, sun-weathered face, and piercing green eyes that reflect both determination and weariness. His auburn hair, streaked with gray, is tied back loosely with a leather cord. A faded scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a silent testament to past conflicts.
French Lieutenant
secondary
A lean, wiry man in his late 20s with sharp features and sun-weathered skin. His dark hair is tied back in a short queue under his bicorne hat, and his clean-shaven face bears a thin scar across his left cheekbone—likely a saber mark. His posture is rigid with military discipline, but his eyes constantly scan the beach with tactical awareness.
Local Priest
secondary
A gaunt man in his late 50s with a sharply angled face, deep-set brown eyes under bushy gray eyebrows, and thin lips pressed in a solemn line. His pale complexion bears the weathering of outdoor sermons and rough living. He stands slightly hunched, with hands clasped before him—knuckles enlarged from years of gripping rosary beads.
Fisherman
background
A wiry, middle-aged Irishman with sun-weathered skin and deep creases around his eyes from years of squinting against the sea glare. His salt-and-pepper hair is tied back with a strip of leather, and his calloused hands bear the marks of a lifetime hauling nets.
Dialog
General Jean Humbert
The Republic honors its allies with steel and saltpeter, not hollow words. Your rebellion is now France's cause.
Irish Rebel Leader
Tá na gunnaí agus an tslí amach—but will they stand when the redcoats come like hail on barley?
French Lieutenant
Les batteries de campagne sont prêtes, mon Général. We secure the beachhead before dusk.
General Jean Humbert
Aux armes, citoyens! Formez les bataillons! Today we plant Liberty Trees in British soil.
Irish Rebel Leader
Gods and martyrs, General—but can your trees grow roots before the storm? The garrison at Ballina—
French Lieutenant
Les éclaireurs report dragoons massing at Crossmolina. We have six hours, perhaps eight.
General Jean Humbert
Then we shall give them a Revolutionary clock—where every hour strikes with cannon fire.
