TNGF
SELECTED
Emperor Titus
primary
A middle-aged Roman emperor with a weakened physique, his once robust frame now gaunt from illness. His short, graying hair is tousled, and his sunken eyes still hold a flicker of their former sharpness. His skin is pallid, with a sheen of sweat from fever.
Chief Physician
primary
A middle-aged man of slight build with a receding hairline and a neatly trimmed beard. His hands are steady but show signs of frequent washing, and his deep-set eyes reveal both fatigue and intense focus.
Senator Marcus
secondary
A middle-aged Roman senator with a lean but sturdy build, his face lined with the cares of state. His dark hair is streaked with gray, combed back in the traditional Roman style, and his sharp brown eyes reflect both intelligence and deep concern. His hands, though well-manicured, are clenched tightly at his sides.
Physician's Assistant
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, slight of build with a wiry frame, his dark hair cropped short in the Roman style. His olive skin is slightly flushed from the heat of the room and the stress of the moment. His hands, though skilled, tremble slightly as he works, betraying his nervousness.
Slave Attendant
background
A young male slave in his early twenties, of slight build with sun-darkened Mediterranean complexion. His short-cropped black hair shows signs of recent shearing, and his calloused hands suggest years of domestic labor. His downcast eyes avoid direct contact with the nobility in the room.
Dialog
Emperor Titus
Physician... tell me true. Does Jupiter call me to his side?
Chief Physician
Dominus... your humores are unbalanced. The fever...
Senator Marcus
Augustus, the people pray for your recovery at every temple in Rome...
Emperor Titus
Enough, Marcus. The gods care not for flattery... nor physicians for false hope.
Chief Physician
Another draught, Dominus? Poppy and honeyed wine...
Emperor Titus
Save your remedies... Tell Domitian... to remember... his duty to Rome.
Senator Marcus
It shall be done, Augustus. By Jupiter's will... it shall be done.
