SELECTED
General Winfield Scott Hancock
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a strong, commanding presence. His face is weathered from years of military service, with a prominent mustache and piercing blue eyes that convey both determination and concern. His posture is upright, exuding authority even amidst the chaos of battle.
Union Sergeant
secondary
A battle-hardened non-commissioned officer in his mid-30s, with a muscular build from years of military service. His face is weathered, with deep lines around his eyes and a square jaw covered in a short, unkempt beard. His hands are calloused, and his posture exudes authority.
Confederate Officer
secondary
A lean, weathered man in his early 30s with a sharp jawline and piercing gray eyes. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and a thin scar runs along his left cheekbone. His posture is upright despite the fatigue of battle, and his hands are calloused from years of military service.
Union Private
background
A young infantryman, no more than 18 or 19 years old, with a lean but wiry build. His face is smudged with dirt and gunpowder, and his wide, fearful eyes betray his inexperience. His hands are shaking slightly as he fumbles with his rifle.
Confederate Soldier
background
A young man in his early 20s, lean and wiry from months of campaigning. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his sunken eyes reflect exhaustion and pain. He clutches his side where a dark stain spreads across his gray wool jacket.
