Setting

Old St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Italy - The scene is set in the grand nave of the basilica, with towering marble columns and a high vaulted ceiling.

Characters

Pope Hilarius
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, pale face framed by thinning white hair. His sunken eyes, though weakened by illness, still hold a piercing clarity. His hands, resting on the embroidered coverlet, are bony with prominent veins.
Archdeacon Laurentius
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late fifties with sharp, angular features and deeply set, piercing eyes. His gray-streaked beard is neatly trimmed, and his hands are long-fingered and slightly trembling with age and emotion.
Deacon Marcus
secondary
A young man in his early 20s with a slender yet sturdy build. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the clerical fashion, and his clean-shaven face reflects his youth. His light brown eyes are wide with reverence and a hint of nervousness, framed by long lashes. His hands, though steady, show the faint calluses of a man who has worked with parchment and candle wax.
Attendant Lucius
background
A middle-aged man of slight build with sunken cheeks and worn hands, his thinning dark hair streaked with gray. His downcast eyes are red-rimmed from quiet weeping, and his posture carries the weary humility of lifelong service.
