TNGF
SELECTED
Julius Civilis
primary
A powerfully built Batavian chieftain in his late 40s, with a battle-scarred face and piercing blue eyes that reflect both cunning and fury. His long, reddish-brown hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his thick beard shows streaks of gray. His muscular frame bears the marks of decades of warfare, including a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline.
Roman Centurion
primary
A battle-hardened officer in his late forties, with a muscular build and a face lined by years of campaigning. His short-cropped hair is greying at the temples, and a deep scar runs from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone—a testament to previous battles. His piercing grey eyes show both defiance and weariness.
Batavian Warrior
secondary
A rugged, battle-hardened warrior in his late 20s, with a muscular build honed by years of combat. His face is marked with faded scars and fresh wounds from the recent siege, and his sun-weathered skin contrasts with his piercing blue eyes. His long, unkempt blond hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his beard is matted with sweat and dirt.
Legionary
secondary
A young Roman soldier in his mid-20s, lean but muscular from years of military training. His face is streaked with dirt and blood, with a deep gash across his forehead. His right leg bears a serious wound, likely from a Batavian spear or axe, leaving a trail of blood as he's dragged. His short-cropped dark hair is matted with sweat and grime.
Dialog
Julius Civilis
Your walls have fallen, Centurion, as the Rhine flows to the sea. Does Rome still feel so mighty now?
Roman Centurion
Rome stands eternal, barbarian. One fortress lost means nothing.
Julius Civilis
Your eagles lie broken in the mud. Where is Jupiter's thunder now?
Roman Centurion
Better to die under the vexillum than live as a traitor's dog.
Julius Civilis
Then die you shall. But remember - it was Roman chains that forged this rebellion.
Roman Centurion
Strike true, Batavian. A centurion deserves a clean death.
Julius Civilis
For Vetera's ashes, you'll have no such mercy.
