Setting

The battlefield of Waterloo, Belgium, in the late afternoon. The terrain is a mix of rolling hills and muddy fields, churned by the movement of thousands of soldiers and horses. The farmhouse of La Haye Sainte smolders in the distance, its walls pockmarked by cannon fire. The ground is littered with the fallen, both soldiers and horses, and the remnants of broken weapons and abandoned equipment.

TNGF
SELECTED
Napoleon Bonaparte
primary
A man of average height with a pale complexion, piercing gray eyes, and a receding hairline. His face is lined with exhaustion but retains an air of command. His posture is slightly stooped from fatigue, yet his gaze remains sharp and calculating.
Duke of Wellington
primary
A tall, lean man in his mid-40s with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes. His face is weathered from years of military campaigns, with deep lines around his mouth and forehead. His posture is erect and commanding, exuding an air of unshakable resolve.
Marshal Blücher
secondary
A robust, elderly Prussian commander with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick white mustache. His posture is upright despite his age, showing the bearing of a seasoned military leader. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his gaze is sharp and determined.
French Officer
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt, weathered face, deep-set eyes shadowed by fatigue, and a prominent nose. His dark hair is streaked with gray and matted with sweat beneath his bicorne hat. His uniform is stained with mud and gunpowder, and his posture shows the weariness of prolonged battle.
Allied Soldier
background
A young British infantryman in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build from years of campaigning. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his fair hair is matted under his shako. A deep gash on his left leg stains his trousers crimson, and his breathing is labored.

French Officer The men are spent, sire. Even the Guard wavers...
