TNGF
SELECTED
St. Wilfrid
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, pale face framed by thinning white hair and a short, unkempt beard. His sunken eyes still hold a piercing intensity despite his weakened state. His hands, resting on the rough woolen blanket, are bony with prominent veins, showing his advanced age and failing health.
Prior Aelfric
primary
A middle-aged man of slight build with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a neatly trimmed tonsure. His hands are calloused from years of labor and prayer, and his posture carries the weight of responsibility.
Brother Cuthbert
secondary
A young monk in his early twenties, with a slender build and a clean-shaven face. His light brown hair is neatly tonsured, and his pale blue eyes reflect both devotion and youthful anxiety. His hands are delicate, accustomed to manuscript work rather than labor.
Brother Eadric
secondary
An elderly monk with a thin, frail frame, his face deeply lined with age and devotion. His hands are gnarled from years of labor and prayer, clutching a worn wooden rosary. His watery blue eyes are red-rimmed from weeping, and his sparse white hair is cropped short in the monastic tonsure.
Novice Wulfstan
background
A slender youth of about 16 years with a pale, freckled complexion and close-cropped brown hair. His large blue eyes are wide with reverence and nervousness. His hands, though steadying the basin, show faint tremors from the weight and solemnity of his task.

Prior Aelfric Peace, Brother Cuthbert. The saint's life is his testament. Let us pray.
St. Wilfrid The light... I see the light of Lindisfarne... and Canterbury... and Rome... all one light now...
