TNGF
SELECTED
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord
primary
A tall, slightly stooped man in his early 60s with sharp, calculating eyes and a pronounced limp from a childhood injury. His face bears the marks of a life spent in politics—deep lines around his mouth and eyes, yet an air of aristocratic refinement. His hands are elegant, often gesturing with deliberate precision.
Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh
primary
A tall, lean man in his mid-40s with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is neatly combed back, showing signs of graying at the temples. His posture is rigid, reflecting his military background and disciplined nature.
Alexander I of Russia
secondary
A tall, slender man in his late 30s with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes. His light brown hair is neatly combed back, and he sports a well-groomed mustache. His posture is regal, exuding an air of quiet confidence and intelligence.
Francis I of Austria
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly portly build, his face marked by the cares of statecraft. His thinning grey hair is combed forward in the style of the Austrian court, and his pale blue eyes survey the room with cautious calculation. His Habsburg jaw is prominent, and his posture is rigid with regal bearing.
Frederick William III of Prussia
secondary
A tall, lean man in his late 40s with a stern, angular face framed by short-cropped graying hair. His pale blue eyes are watchful and calculating, with deep lines of worry etched around them. His posture is rigid with military bearing, though he carries himself with quiet reserve rather than overt authority.
Diplomatic Aide
background
A young man in his early twenties, slender with a slightly hunched posture from hours of desk work. His light brown hair is neatly combed but shows signs of being frequently run through with nervous fingers. Pale complexion with a faint dusting of freckles across his nose, and quick, darting eyes that betray his anxiety.

Dialog

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord My dear Viscount, one might say that the map of Europe is being redrawn with rather more enthusiasm than precision today. Would you not agree?
Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh Precision, Prince, is the very foundation upon which lasting peace must be built. Britain insists upon it.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord Ah, but foundations laid too rigidly may crack under the weight of future... adjustments. Even the Romans understood the wisdom of flexible borders.
Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh We are not building an empire, but containing one. The boundaries must hold.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord Containment, like revenge, is a dish best served... with generous portions for all parties, would you not say?
