Characters

Adolf Hitler
primary
A thin, pale man in his mid-30s with sharp, angular features, piercing blue eyes, and a distinctive square mustache. His dark hair is slicked back sharply from his forehead. He carries an air of intense energy barely contained within his slight frame.
Erich Ludendorff
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a rigid military posture. His sharp, angular features are framed by close-cropped gray hair and a neatly trimmed mustache. His piercing blue eyes reflect a lifetime of battlefield command, with deep lines etched from years of stress and responsibility.
Julius Streicher
secondary
A middle-aged man of medium height with a stocky build, thinning dark hair combed back, a thick mustache, and small, piercing eyes. His face is flushed with excitement, and he carries himself with an air of self-importance.
SA Stormtrooper
secondary
A young man in his early 20s, of average height with a lean but strong build. His face is clean-shaven, and his hair is cropped short in the military style favored by the SA. His eyes are sharp and alert, scanning the room for any signs of dissent or resistance. He wears the distinctive brown shirt of the Sturmabteilung, with a swastika armband on his left sleeve.
Beer Hall Patron
background
A middle-aged man with a slightly hunched posture, wearing a worn-out suit. His face is weathered, with deep-set eyes and a receding hairline. His hands are rough, suggesting manual labor.
