TNGF
SELECTED
British Lieutenant
primary
A young officer in his mid-20s, tall and lean with sharp features. His face is weathered by the cold, with a neatly trimmed mustache and piercing blue eyes that reflect both determination and exhaustion. His hands are wrapped in makeshift bandages to protect against frostbite.
British Sergeant
secondary
A grizzled, middle-aged man with a square jaw and deep-set eyes that have seen too much. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a thick mustache that partially hides a scar running from his left cheekbone to his chin. His build is stocky and muscular, the result of decades of military discipline and hard living.
French Captain
secondary
A tall, lean man in his late 30s with sharp features and a neatly trimmed mustache. His piercing blue eyes betray both fatigue and determination, framed by deep lines from constant exposure to the elements. His posture remains rigid despite the cold, a testament to his military discipline.
Wounded Soldier
secondary
A young British private in his early 20s, gaunt from prolonged exposure and malnutrition. His face is pale with a bluish tint around the lips and fingertips from frostbite. His eyes are sunken and glassy, showing signs of shell shock. His uniform is torn at the knees and elbows, revealing makeshift bandages stained with old blood.
Russian Prisoner
background
A gaunt, middle-aged Russian soldier with a weathered face, sunken cheeks, and a thick, unkempt beard. His skin is pale from the cold, with patches of frostbite on his ears and nose. His uniform is torn and dirty, and he appears exhausted from the ordeal of capture.
Medical Orderly
background
A weary, middle-aged man with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes, his hands rough and stained from constant work. His shoulders are slightly hunched from exhaustion, and his movements are quick but precise, honed by the urgency of his duties.

Dialog

British Lieutenant Sergeant, have the men stand to—those Russian guns will open up again soon, mark my words.
British Sergeant Aye, sir. Lads! Fix bayonets and keep low—no sense givin’ Ivan an easy target.
French Captain Alors, your artillery—they waste shells on the stone walls. They must soften the redoubts before we advance, non?
British Lieutenant Our gunners are doing what they can, Captain. The weather plays havoc with the powder—half our shots fall short.
British Sergeant Beggin’ your pardon, sir, but Jenkins took a splinter—bleedin’ bad. The sawbones won’t last another week at this rate.
French Captain La musique begins again. Cover your ears, gentlemen.
British Lieutenant Steady, lads. Remember—we hold this line, or Sevastopol holds us.
