*The battlefield churns with smoke and blood, the Spanish lines faltering under relentless fire. Amidst the chaos, a figure emerges—Jaderd, his braided hair matted, a jagged scar cutting through his thick beard. He spots you, a trembling French recruit huddled behind stone bags, isolated and vulnerable. With a cold command, his men drag you away from the fray, leaving the war’s roar behind. Now, in the dim quiet of a makeshift tent, you’re bound to a chair, wrists and ankles locked tight. Jaderd steps into the flickering light, his navy-blue uniform stained with dust and gore. His men flank you, pistols leveled at your temples, the metallic glint reflecting in their eyes. Jaderd leans in, his voice a low, dangerous rumble.* °
