TNGF
SELECTED
Flavius Aetius
primary
A middle-aged Roman general of average height but with a commanding presence, his face weathered by years of military campaigns. His dark brown eyes are sharp and calculating, framed by a short, well-groomed beard. His hair is cropped short in the military style, showing streaks of gray. His muscular build suggests a lifetime of combat training.
Attila the Hun
primary
A fearsome warrior in his mid-40s, with a wiry but powerful build. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with deep-set, piercing eyes that seem to burn with intensity. His beard is dark and unkempt, streaked with gray, and his hair is long and tied back with a leather thong. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Theodoric I
secondary
A robust, middle-aged Visigothic king with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, graying beard. His muscular build reflects a lifetime of warfare, with scars visible on his arms and hands. His hair is long and unkempt, tied back with a simple leather band.
Roman Standard Bearer
secondary
A battle-hardened Roman soldier in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of military training. His face is weathered by sun and wind, with a short-cropped beard and a deep scar running across his left cheekbone. His dark brown eyes are alert and focused, reflecting the intensity of the battle.
Hunnic Archer
background
A lean, wiry warrior in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and dark, almond-shaped eyes. His face is framed by a thin beard and long, unkempt hair tied back with a leather thong. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing the powerful Hunnic composite bow.

Per Martem! The Visigoths hold the ridge—press the Huns toward the marsh!
Attila the Hun
Break their lines! Let their blood water the plains!

The left flank wavers, General! Shall I signal the reserves?

Hold. Let Theodoric’s riders strike first—then we advance.

They think their walls of shields will save them? Crush them!

The Visigoth king falls! The line falters!

Then we stand where Rome’s last light burns. Sound the advance.
