TNGF
SELECTED
Mellitus
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt face, sunken cheeks, and thinning white hair. His skin is pale and translucent, showing the wear of illness and age. His hands are bony, with prominent veins, resting weakly on the bed covers. His eyes, though dimmed by fatigue, retain a piercing quality, reflecting his spiritual authority.
Prior
primary
A tall, gaunt man with deep-set eyes and a prominent nose, his face lined with the marks of years spent in devotion. His hands are thin, with long fingers that often clasp in prayer.
Deacon
secondary
A young deacon with a clean-shaven face and short, neatly-trimmed brown hair. His youthful features are marked by a solemn expression, and his hands are slightly calloused from years of labor and prayer.
Monk
background
An elderly monk with a thin, frail frame, his face deeply lined with age and devotion. His hands are gnarled from years of labor and prayer, and his pale blue eyes are red-rimmed from weeping. His shaved head bears the faintest traces of white stubble, and his posture is slightly hunched from a lifetime of humility and service.

In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum...

May the Lord receive your soul with mercy, Archbishop. We commend you to His eternal peace.

Do not weep for me, brothers. I go to the light of Christ, where there is no sorrow.
Prior
Your flock will remember your teachings, holy father. The light you brought to this land will not fade.

Pray with me now... Pater noster, qui es in caelis...
Prior
Sanctificetur nomen tuum...

Pax vobiscum...
