SELECTED

General Jean Joseph Amable Humbert

primary

A middle-aged French officer of medium height with a sturdy build, hardened by years of campaigning. His face is weathered, with sharp, intelligent eyes, a strong jawline, and a neatly trimmed mustache. His dark hair is tied back in a queue, typical of French military officers of the period.

British Colonel

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, sharp blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed salt-and-pepper mustache. His posture exudes authority, and his piercing gaze scans the battlefield with military precision.

Irish Rebel Captain

secondary

A wiry man in his early 30s with a sun-weathered face, sharp cheekbones, and intense green eyes. His brown hair is tied back with a frayed strip of cloth, revealing a long scar running from temple to jawline. His hands are calloused from years of labor and fighting.

British Ensign

secondary

A young British officer in his early twenties, with a lean but sturdy build. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp features and a pale complexion, slightly flushed from exertion. His light brown hair is tied back in a short queue beneath his bicorne hat. His blue eyes are keen and observant, scanning the battlefield with a mixture of focus and restrained tension.
