TNGF
SELECTED
Adolf Hitler
primary
A man in his early 40s, with a slight but wiry build, standing at average height. His face is angular, with a prominent nose, dark eyes under heavy brows, and a small, toothbrush mustache. His dark hair is slicked back sharply.
Paul von Hindenburg
primary
Elderly statesman in his mid-80s with a towering height of over six feet, broad-shouldered with a stiff military posture. His face is deeply lined with age, featuring a prominent white mustache and thinning white hair combed neatly back. His pale blue eyes convey both weariness and concern.
Reichstag President
secondary
A middle-aged man with a stern, composed demeanor, his sharp features framed by wire-rimmed spectacles. His posture is upright, exuding authority, and his thinning grey hair is neatly combed back. His eyes are keen and watchful, constantly scanning the room.
SA Officer
secondary
A burly man in his early 30s with a square jaw and close-cropped hair. His cold blue eyes scan the room with predatory focus, and a jagged scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone. His posture is rigid, shoulders squared, with hands clasped behind his back—a clear show of authority.
Opposition Deputy
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes shadowed by fatigue, and thinning dark hair streaked with gray. His posture suggests a man accustomed to intellectual labor rather than physical exertion, with slender shoulders slightly hunched under the weight of the moment.
