Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered on a windswept stone bridge — a human soldier, a broad-shouldered man in his late thirties with a weathered, hard-jawed face, pale sun-reddened skin, a short dark beard flecked with grey, and close-cropped brown hair plastered by sweat. Fierce narrowed eyes, a scar across one cheek. He wears a dented iron breastplate over a mud-stained gambeson, a faded crimson tabard with a frayed hem, chainmail sleeves, leather bracers, a sword belt, and heavy iron-studded leather war-boots scuffed from battle. He grips a longsword and a battered round shield, braced in a wide defensive stance, teeth bared, blocking the way. Behind him, smoke, firelit ruined battlements, cold grey gorge mist, scattered broken spears and shattered stone.
