TNGF
SELECTED
Georges Clemenceau
primary
A wiry, middle-aged man with a sharp, angular face, deep-set piercing eyes, and a neatly trimmed white mustache. His posture is upright, exuding authority despite his slight frame. His hands are strong and expressive, often used to emphasize points during discussions.
Woodrow Wilson
primary
A tall, lean man in his early 60s with a gaunt, angular face, high forehead, and piercing gray-blue eyes. His posture is slightly stooped, and he wears round, wire-rimmed spectacles that give him a scholarly appearance. His hair is thinning and gray, combed neatly to the side.
David Lloyd George
secondary
A middle-aged man 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, giving him a somewhat disheveled yet distinguished appearance.
German Delegate
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt, weary face, his sharp features accentuated by deep-set eyes and a prominent jawline. His posture is rigid, betraying the tension he feels, and his hands are slightly trembling as he prepares to sign the treaty. His dark hair is neatly combed, but his pallor suggests the strain of the negotiations and the weight of his nation's defeat.
French Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 20s with a clean-shaven face and a stern, disciplined demeanor. His posture is rigid, reflecting his military training, and his piercing blue eyes scan the room with quiet vigilance. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed beneath his military cap.

Dialog

Georges Clemenceau Let them sign, and let them remember. The wolf does not bargain with the lamb when its teeth are still sharp.
Woodrow Wilson In point of fact, Monsieur Clemenceau, a peace built solely upon retribution may prove as fragile as the glass in these very mirrors.
David Lloyd George Gentlemen, we must consider whether we're planting seeds for future harvest or sowing the wind.
Georges Clemenceau I'll take my chances with the wind. France has had enough of German harvests.
Woodrow Wilson It must be understood that history will judge this moment not by the weight of our signatures, but by the duration of their consequences.
David Lloyd George Then let us hope, Mr. President, that when those mirrors reflect upon this day, they show wisdom rather than regret.
Georges Clemenceau Enough philosophy. The ink will dry whether we debate or not.
