TNGF
SELECTED
Agrippina the Younger
primary
A striking woman in her mid-40s, with sharp patrician features that still bear traces of her former beauty despite the bruises and blood from the failed assassination attempt. Her piercing blue eyes burn with defiance, and her golden hair—once her pride—is now disheveled from the attack. The famous Agrippina chin, a Claudian hallmark, is set in iron resolve.
Anicetus
primary
A hardened naval commander in his late 40s, with a face lined by years of sea and command. His dark eyes are cold and calculating, devoid of mercy. His military bearing is unmistakable, with a posture that speaks of authority and discipline.
Herculeius
secondary
A burly trierarch under Anicetus's command, with thick arms and a face weathered by years at sea. His nose is crooked from a past brawl, and his knuckles are scarred from countless fights.
Obaritus
secondary
A grizzled centurion of the Misenum fleet, his face marked by a deep scar running from temple to jawline, earned in the Germanic campaigns. His muscular frame is hardened by years of naval warfare, with a soldier's bearing that betrays no hesitation in his grim duty.
Slave Girl
background
A young girl of likely Germanic or Thracian origin with tangled, flaxen hair and a slight, wiry frame. Her face is smudged with soot from a dying lamp, and her skin is pale with terror, showing the physical strain of the night's chaos.
Dialog
Agrippina the Younger
Have you come to inquire after my health, or to fulfill a son's gratitude with cold iron?
Anicetus
The Princeps seeks no further counsel from the daughter of Germanicus. The fleet does its duty.
Herculeius
By Neptune's beard, enough chatter! The bitch should have drowned in the bay.
Agrippina the Younger
Feri ventrem! Strike the womb that bore such a monster.
Herculeius
Quiet, woman! Die like a Roman and hold your tongue!
Anicetus
Finish it. The Dominus awaits word at the villa before the sun touches the sea.
Agrippina the Younger
I was the Augusta... remember... who gave you... the world...
