TNGF
SELECTED
Saint Patrick
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, weathered face, deep-set eyes that still hold a spark of spiritual fire, and a long white beard that cascades over his chest. His hands are thin and veined, showing the marks of age and a life of labor. His posture is frail but dignified, lying on a simple wooden bed.
Bishop Secundinus
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with a deeply lined face that speaks of years of spiritual labor. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thick, silver eyebrows, and his long, white beard is neatly trimmed. His hands are slender, with prominent veins, often clasped in prayer or resting on his crosier.
Monk Aedh
secondary
A middle-aged monk with a lean, wiry build from years of ascetic living. His face is weathered but kind, with deep-set brown eyes that reflect quiet devotion. His tonsured hair is graying at the temples, and his hands are calloused from manual labor and prayer.
Local Chieftain
secondary
A robust man in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by years of leadership and outdoor life. His thick, graying beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both authority and a deep respect for the saint. His broad shoulders and calloused hands speak of a life spent in both battle and governance.
Attendant Boy
background
A young boy of about 12 years, slight of build with tousled brown hair and wide, innocent eyes. His face is smudged with soot from the candles, and his hands are small but calloused from labor. His posture is slightly hunched, as if accustomed to making himself smaller in the presence of his betters.
