TNGF
SELECTED
Woodrow Wilson
primary
A tall, lean man in his early 60s with a long, angular face, high forehead, and piercing gray-blue eyes. His posture is slightly stooped from years of academic work, and he wears round, wire-rimmed glasses that catch the light of the chandeliers. His hair is thinning and gray, combed neatly to the side. His hands are slender with long fingers, one of which bears a signet ring.
David Lloyd George
primary
A middle-aged Welshman of average height with a wiry build, sharp features, and a prominent mustache. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and a calculating nature. His hair is thinning and combed back, with a slight wave.
Georges Clemenceau
secondary
A wiry, sharp-featured man in his late 70s with a neatly trimmed white beard and piercing eyes that miss nothing. His posture remains erect despite his age, conveying both military bearing and intellectual intensity.
German Delegate
secondary
A middle-aged man with a stern, angular face, deep-set eyes shadowed by fatigue, and a rigid posture that betrays his inner tension. His military bearing is evident despite civilian attire, with close-cropped hair turning grey at the temples.
French Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered soldier in his late 20s, with a stern face and a closely cropped mustache. His piercing blue eyes scan the room with military precision, and his posture is rigid with discipline.

Dialog

Woodrow Wilson We sign today not merely a treaty, but a covenant—a solemn pledge to future generations that such devastation shall never again darken our world.
Georges Clemenceau Words are fragile things, Monsieur le Président. It is iron and vigilance that will keep the peace—n'est-ce pas?
David Lloyd George Aye, but even the sturdiest fence needs good neighbors on both sides. We're plowing rocky soil today, see?
Georges Clemenceau Let them choke on the bitterness of defeat. It is the only language predators understand.
Woodrow Wilson Must justice always wear the mask of vengeance?
