His eyes are sharp and calculating, constantly scanning the battlefield.

Othonian Standard Bearer

primary

A young soldier in his early 20s, lean but muscular from military training. His face is smeared with mud and sweat, with a fresh cut across his left cheek. His dark brown eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination. His short-cropped hair is matted under his helmet.

A battle-hardened officer in his late 30s, with a muscular build and scars crisscrossing his forearms. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a broken nose that never healed properly. His short-cropped hair is streaked with grey, and his piercing blue eyes are filled with ruthless determination.

Wounded Legionary

A young Roman soldier in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build typical of legionaries. His face is smeared with mud and blood, his short-cropped dark hair matted with sweat. A deep gash runs across his left thigh, staining his tunic crimson. His right arm clutches his side where a pilum wound bleeds freely. His skin is pale from blood loss, lips cracked with thirst.
