TNGF
SELECTED
Augustine of Canterbury
primary
A gaunt, elderly man in his late 60s with deeply sunken cheeks and a skeletal frame beneath his monastic robes. His once-dark hair has thinned to white wisps, and his pallid skin clings tightly to his skull. His hands, resting atop the woolen blanket, are veined and trembling slightly. Despite his physical frailty, his deep-set brown eyes retain a piercing clarity.
Prior Eadbald
primary
A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly gaunt frame, his face marked by deep lines of devotion and responsibility. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the monastic tonsure, with streaks of grey at the temples. His hands are calloused from years of labor and prayer.
Brother Cuthbert
secondary
A young monk in his early twenties, with a slender build and a clean-shaven face. His fair hair is cropped short in the monastic tonsure, revealing a pale forehead. His deep-set blue eyes are wide with emotion, and his lips are slightly parted as if in silent prayer. His hands, though steady in duty, tremble slightly as he holds the crucifix, betraying his inner turmoil.
Brother Wulfstan
background
An elderly monk with a hunched posture, his thin frame draped in a coarse woolen habit. His face is deeply lined with age and devotion, with watery blue eyes that reflect the candlelight. His hands are gnarled from years of labor and prayer.
