Chief Officer

minor

An imposing, middle-aged British Chief Officer with a stern, arrogant expression. He has neatly parted grey hair, a distinguished full mustache, and cold blue eyes. He wears a pristine, high-ranking early 20th-century British officer's uniform, complete with medals, a polished sword at his side, and a crisp white shirt under his tunic. He often gestures dismissively with one hand.

Officer 3

minor

A young, earnest British officer with short, dark curly hair and thoughtful brown eyes. He has a clean-shaven face and a slightly worried expression. He wears a standard early 20th-century British officer's uniform, well-maintained but less ornate than the Chief Officer's, with appropriate insignia. He often appears grim-faced in discussions.

Officer 4

A calm and composed British officer with neatly slicked-back brown hair and intelligent green eyes. He has a slight scar over his left eyebrow. He wears a standard early 20th-century British officer's uniform, meticulously clean, with a focused demeanor. He often stands in the background during discussions, listening intently.

British Soldier 1

A young, grim-faced British soldier, covered in mud from the arduous digging. He has short, messy dark brown hair, tired blue eyes, and a lean build. He wears a standard early 20th-century British Army uniform, consisting of a khaki tunic, trousers, and boots, all heavily soiled with earth. His face is smudged with dirt, and he carries a shovel.

Officer 2

minor

A slightly heavier-set British officer with a rounder face and receding light brown hair. He has worried brown eyes and a short, well-kept beard. He wears a standard early 20th-century British officer's uniform, similar to Officer 1, but perhaps slightly less immaculate. He often shares a tense, whispered conversation with Officer 1.

Officer 1

A tense British officer with sharp, angular features and neatly combed dark hair. He has a trim mustache and piercing grey eyes.

He is often seen holding a lit cigarette, silhouetted by lantern light.
