King Edwin of Northumbria

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 50s with a weathered face marked by deep lines of wisdom and war. His graying beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes show both determination and weariness. His right hand bears an old battle scar from past conflicts.

King Penda of Mercia

A formidable warrior-king in his prime, with a muscular build and piercing blue eyes that seem to glow with battle-lust. His face is marked with the scars of previous battles, and his long, unkempt blond hair is tied back with a leather thong. His beard is braided with small iron rings, a sign of his pagan faith.

King Cadwallon of Gwynedd

A fierce Welsh king in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of warfare. His dark hair is tied back in warrior braids, and his face bears the scars of previous battles. His piercing blue eyes burn with vengeance, and his beard is trimmed short for battle.

Northumbrian Standard Bearer

secondary

A rugged warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered face marked by old battle scars. His sunken eyes show years of campaigning, and his thick beard is matted with sweat and mud. He stands tall despite the fatigue, gripping the standard with both hands.

Mercian Warrior
