TNGF
SELECTED
Vespasian
primary
A gaunt, elderly man with thinning gray hair and a deeply lined face, his skin pallid from illness. His once-powerful frame is now diminished, yet his sharp brown eyes retain their keen intelligence. A prominent nose and strong jawline hint at his former vigor.
Titus
primary
A robust man in his late 30s with a strong, military bearing, his face weathered from years of campaigning. His dark brown eyes are sharp and intelligent, framed by a neatly trimmed beard. His curly hair is cut short in the Roman fashion, with a slight receding hairline.
Domitian
secondary
A young Roman man of 28 years with a lean yet muscular build, sharp patrician features, and piercing dark eyes that betray a calculating intelligence. His olive skin is smooth, and his black hair is cut short in the military style favored by the Flavian family.
Chief Physician
secondary
A middle-aged Greek physician with a lean build, sharp features, and a neatly trimmed beard. His dark eyes are observant and calculating, reflecting years of medical practice. His hands are steady and skilled, accustomed to the delicate work of healing.
Senior Senator
background
A patrician Roman senator in his late 50s, with a distinguished bearing and a slightly stooped posture from years of oratory. His face is lined with experience, framed by neatly trimmed grey hair and a short beard in the style favored by Roman aristocracy. His piercing eyes suggest sharp political acumen.
Dialog
Vespasian
Vae, puto deus fio...
Titus
Pater, the burden of the purple will be borne as you taught us.
Chief Physician
The humors... grow still, Domine. The body weakens beyond our art.
Vespasian
A poor joke for my last one, eh? Better than weeping senators.
Titus
Rome laughs with you, Father, even now.
Chief Physician
The lamp oil burns low, noble Titus. Perhaps... the household should prepare.
Vespasian
Enough fuss. Let Pluto's work be done.
