Elderly male: Crosse

Elderly male, frail but commanding. High-status, ecclesiastical tone with a raspy, breathless texture of a man on his deathbed. Posh, classical accent. Rapid, obsessive pace shifting between desperate pleading and arrogant vanity. Rich in sensory detail, his voice carries the weight of a life spent in luxury, now tinged with the bitterness of mortality and material greed.

Script: No, no, bring the marble closer; let me feel its cool vein again. If they carve my name deep enough, child, even heaven will have to remember who paid for its splendor.
