TNGF
SELECTED
King Edmund I
primary
A robust man in his mid-twenties with a strong, regal bearing. His face is framed by a well-groomed beard and mustache, typical of Anglo-Saxon nobility. His piercing blue eyes command attention, and his broad shoulders suggest a warrior's physique. His hands are adorned with several ornate rings, symbols of his royal status.
Thief
primary
A wiry, middle-aged man with a gaunt face, sunken eyes, and unkempt dark hair streaked with grey. His hands are calloused and dirty, with long fingers that twitch nervously. He moves with a feral grace, his lean build allowing him to blend into the crowd until the moment of attack.
Royal Guard
secondary
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His arms are muscular from years of wielding weapons, and his stance is that of a seasoned warrior. A scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to past battles.
Nobleman
secondary
A high-ranking nobleman in his late 40s, with a well-groomed beard and piercing blue eyes. His stature is imposing, with broad shoulders and a strong build, indicative of a life of privilege and martial training. His face bears the marks of age and experience, with deep-set eyes and a prominent nose.
Servant
background
A young servant, likely in their late teens or early twenties, with a slender build and calloused hands from years of labor. Their hair is tied back simply, and their face is flushed from the heat of the hall and the sudden shock of the attack.

Justice, for those you've forgotten!

Hold... let him face the judgment he so boldly invokes.

Then let it be swift, for I'll not beg for mercy from a dying king!
