TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Celestine I
primary
A frail elderly man with sunken cheeks and thinning white hair, his skin pale and translucent with age. His hands are bony and veined, resting atop a simple woolen blanket. Despite his physical weakness, his deep-set eyes retain a piercing spiritual intensity.
Archdeacon Leo
primary
A tall, imposing figure with sharp, intelligent eyes and a strong jawline, his presence commands respect. His dark hair is streaked with gray, and his posture exudes authority.
Priest Sixtus
secondary
A middle-aged priest with a gaunt face and deep-set, weary eyes that reflect years of service. His thin lips are constantly moving in silent prayer, and his hands are rough from years of manual labor in the church.
Servant Boy
background
A thin, wiry boy of about 12 years with sun-kissed skin and short, dark brown hair that falls unevenly around his ears. His hands are slightly calloused from work, and his wide, dark eyes dart nervously around the room.
