TNGF
SELECTED
Gnaeus Julius Agricola
primary
A middle-aged Roman general with a lean, muscular build from years of military campaigns. His face is weathered from northern campaigns, with sharp gray eyes that miss nothing. Dark hair streaked with silver is kept short in military fashion, and he bears a thin scar along his right jawline from an old battle wound.
Calgacus
primary
A tall, powerfully built man in his late 40s with long, unkempt reddish-brown hair and a thick, braided beard. His face is weathered from years of battle and exposure, with piercing blue eyes that burn with defiance. Scars crisscross his arms and torso, marking him as a seasoned warrior. His muscular frame is draped in a wolf pelt cloak, symbolizing his status as a leader.
Roman Tribune
secondary
A middle-aged Roman officer with a lean, muscular build, honed by years of military campaigns. His face bears the weathered tan of sun exposure and the faint scars of past battles. Dark, piercing eyes survey the battlefield with disciplined focus. His short-cropped hair is streaked with gray at the temples, and his clean-shaven jaw is set with determination.
Caledonian Warrior
secondary
A rugged warrior in his late twenties, with a muscular build honed by years of tribal warfare. His face is smeared with blue woad paint in intricate patterns, and his wild, dark hair is tied back with leather strips. His eyes burn with fierce determination, and his body is marked with scars from previous battles.
Roman Standard Bearer
background
A sturdy Roman soldier in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of military training. His face is weathered from campaigns, with a short-cropped beard and deep-set brown eyes that squint against the wind. His hands are calloused from gripping the standard pole.
Dialog
Calgacus
See how the eagle's brood gathers below us, their iron wings folded tight! But we are the storm that will break them upon these stones!
Gnaeus Julius Agricola
Let them keep their high ground. Their fury means nothing against Roman discipline. Tribune - advance the Batavians in wedge formation.
Roman Tribune
Batavian cohorts advancing! Testudo formation when they reach the scree slope!
Calgacus
The earth remembers our footsteps, but will forget theirs! Charge when their shields lift - strike where the serpents' heads part!
