My Characters for Savoy 1636 are coming together. The first retinues for the "novel" will be the exiled noble and the Archbishop's Guard.
I'm using Port Royal as the rules, with some adaptation for "firelocks."
The novel (Wargame) is revealed through a series of card draws.
The Exile
Il Cavaliere Nero" (The Black Knight)
Ties neatly to Turin and Savoy.
Grand and is suitably Dumas-esque.
"The Count of Castellamonte Lives."
CAPTAIN Cost 6
Experience 5. Fight 6/6. Shoot 6/6. Resolve 5
Special » Command. » Fate (1)
Major-Domo and Henchman
"My lord, this is a terrible idea. Shall I saddle the horses?"
Henchman Cost 4
Experience 5. Fight 6/6. Shoot 6/7. Resolve 5
Special » Brawler
Once a soldier in the Castellamonte household guard, Carlo followed Enrico into exile and remained with him through imprisonment, poverty, and wandering.
"Will we be wanting the spare pistols m'Lud."

(Expect Vincent Price in this role!"
His Eminence, Archbishop Filiberto Milliet de Faverges, Prince of the Church and Shepherd of Savoy, Lion of Turin.
Archbishop of Turin, Adviser to Duke Victor Amadeus, Keeper of dangerous secrets,
Patron of spies, confessors, and inquisitors
Publicly pious, privately ruthless
Rumour claims that every confession in Savoy eventually reaches his ears.
His personal guard are the Bishop's Men faction.

Captain Sebastiano Ferrante
Captain of the Archbishop's Guard

Special » Command. » Fate (1)
A younger son of a ruined Savoyard noble family, Ferrante rose through the Church's service rather than the Duke's army. He commands the Archbishop's personal guard and acts as messenger, spy, investigator, and executioner when necessary.
"God forgives. I merely deliver His judgment."
