TNGF
SELECTED
King Athelstan
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by battle scars. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with strategic focus. His dark blond hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his beard is neatly trimmed, showing his royal status even amidst the chaos of war.
Olaf Guthfrithson
primary
A formidable Norse-Gael leader in his late thirties, broad-shouldered and battle-hardened. His face bears the marks of previous conflicts—a jagged scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His thick, reddish-blond beard is braided with small iron rings, and his piercing blue eyes gleam with a mix of defiance and tactical calculation. His muscular frame is honed by years of warfare and sea-faring.
Athelstan's Standard Bearer
secondary
A broad-shouldered Saxon warrior in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and a thick blond beard braided in the Norse-influenced style favored by Athelstan's household troops. His left cheek bears an old seax scar from previous campaigns. Muscular arms strain against his mail sleeves as he grips the standard pole.
Norse Warrior
secondary
A burly man in his late thirties with a thick, matted beard and several battle scars across his face and arms. His muscular frame is built for endurance, and his sunken eyes betray both exhaustion and determination.
Saxon Archer
background
A lean, wiry man in his late twenties with sun-weathered skin and a close-cropped beard. His hands are calloused from years of drawing bowstrings, and his keen eyes are narrowed in concentration. A faded scar runs diagonally across his left cheekbone.
