TNGF
SELECTED
General Jean Joseph Amable Humbert
primary
A robust, middle-aged French general with a weathered face, sharp features, and piercing dark eyes. His dark hair is tied back in a military queue, showing streaks of gray. He has a prominent nose and a strong jawline, with a neatly trimmed mustache. His posture is upright and commanding, with broad shoulders and a sturdy build from years of military service.
Irish Rebel Leader
primary
A rugged Irishman in his early 40s, with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin. His dark hair is tied back with a strip of leather, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with intensity. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to previous conflicts.
British Officer
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean build, his face flushed with exertion and panic. His dark hair is disheveled beneath his bicorne hat, and his sideburns are slightly unkempt. His blue eyes are wide with alarm, and his mouth is set in a grimace of frustration and fear.
Irish Rebel Fighter
secondary
A wiry Irishman in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin, a scraggly beard, and intense blue eyes. His lean frame shows the hard labor of rural life, with calloused hands gripping his pike tightly. A fresh cut on his cheek shows he's seen recent combat.
British Soldier
background
A young British redcoat, approximately 20 years old, with a lean build and a face flushed with exertion and fear. His hair is disheveled beneath his shako, and his eyes are wide with panic. His uniform is dusty and slightly torn from the chaotic retreat.
French Lieutenant
background
A young, athletic French officer in his late 20s with a sharp, clean-shaven face, piercing blue eyes, and short, dark hair tied back in a neat queue. His posture exudes confidence and military discipline, with broad shoulders and a lean, muscular build from years of campaigning.
