A battle-worn warrior with long reddish-brown hair, half-covered by an ornate silver-and-gold helmet. Snow clings to armor, scarf, and exposed skin. One blue eye stares intensely forward, face marked with dried blood and grime — not graphic, but realistic aftermath detail. Lighting is dramatic chiaroscuro: cold blue ambient + warm rim glow from off-screen fire. Background is dark and blurred. Mood: gritty, heroic, mythic.
