TNGF
SELECTED
Osfrith of Northumbria
primary
A young warrior in his early twenties, tall and lean with the sinewy build of a trained fighter. His fair skin is streaked with mud and blood, and his long, dark blond hair is matted with sweat and grime. His piercing blue eyes, though clouded with pain, still burn with defiance. A deep gash across his chest bleeds profusely, staining his tunic and mail.
Cadwallon of Gwynedd
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by battle scars. His dark brown hair is tied back in a warrior's knot, and his piercing blue eyes gleam with a mix of triumph and ruthlessness. His beard is trimmed short, and his muscular frame is evident even beneath his battle gear.
Penda of Mercia
secondary
A formidable warrior-king in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of battle. His face is weathered, with a strong jawline and piercing dark eyes that reflect his fierce nature. His dark brown hair is shoulder-length, tied back with a leather thong, and his beard is thick and unkempt, typical of a warrior on campaign.
Northumbrian Warrior
secondary
A burly man in his late twenties, with a thick beard and sun-weathered skin. His muscular frame bears the scars of previous battles, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and exhaustion. His hair is long and matted with sweat and blood, tied back with a simple leather thong.
Mercian Warrior
background
A battle-hardened warrior in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of combat training. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left eyebrow to cheekbone. His dark brown hair is tied back in a warrior's knot, and his beard is short and unkempt from days of campaigning.

I die... but Northumbria... does not fall with one man.
