TNGF
SELECTED
Otto the Great
primary
A robust man in his early forties, with a broad, battle-hardened frame and a thick, dark beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes are sharp with determination, and his face bears the weathered lines of a seasoned warrior. His hair is cropped short in the Frankish style, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding sword and reins.
Magyar Chieftain
primary
A rugged, middle-aged warrior with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, dark beard streaked with gray. His muscular build reflects a lifetime of horseback riding and combat. His skin is tanned from years under the open sky, and his hands are calloused from gripping bowstrings and reins.
German Knight
secondary
A robust man in his early 30s, with a broad chest and muscular build, honed by years of training and battle. His face is partially obscured by his helmet, but his piercing blue eyes and a thick, blonde beard are visible. His skin is tanned and weathered from years of campaigning.
Magyar Archer
secondary
A lean and wiry warrior in his late twenties, with sun-bronzed skin and a face marked by the harsh conditions of the steppe. His dark, piercing eyes are narrowed in concentration, and his black hair is tied back in a simple braid. His hands are calloused from years of handling the bow, and his posture is slightly hunched from hours in the saddle.
German Squire
background
A young man in his late teens, with a wiry but strong build from years of training. His face is flushed with exertion, and his short, sandy hair is damp with sweat. His hands are calloused from handling weapons and horses.
