TNGF

SELECTED

Northumbrian Warlord

primary

A grizzled warrior of imposing stature, his broad shoulders and muscular frame bear the weight of countless battles. His weathered face, lined with scars and framed by a thick, rust-colored beard streaked with grey, speaks of decades on the battlefield. His steel-blue eyes burn with a mix of defiance and despair, their intensity undimmed by the dire circumstances. A deep gash on his left forearm bleeds freely, staining his tunic.

Mercian Captain

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered warrior in his early 40s with sun-weathered skin and a thick, battle-scarred frame. His dark brown hair is tied back in a warrior's knot, and his beard is streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes gleam with a mix of triumph and ruthlessness.

Northumbrian Warrior

secondary

A burly man in his late twenties, with a tangled mane of reddish-brown hair and a thick beard. His face is smeared with mud and blood, and his muscular arms bear the scars of previous battles. His blue eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination.

Welsh Archer

secondary

A wiry man in his late twenties, with sun-browned skin and keen eyes honed by years of hunting in the Welsh hills. His dark hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his forearms bear faint scars from bowstring snaps. His stance is steady despite the uneven ground, muscles taut with the precision of his craft.

Wounded Soldier

background

A Northumbrian warrior in his late twenties, with a wiry but strong build, now broken by battle. His face is streaked with mud and blood, his beard matted with sweat and grime. A deep gash runs across his chest, his chainmail torn and stained crimson. His eyes are glazed with pain, yet still burning with a desperate will to survive.
