Art style: Anime.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Ben Edwards, a man in his early forties, former combat diver now a CIA field operator. Athletic, broad-shouldered build, weathered tanned skin, strong jaw with short salt-and-pepper stubble, close-cropped dark hair graying at the temples, sharp grey-blue eyes with crow's-feet and a wry half-smile. He wears a fitted olive-drab tactical jacket over a grey henley, dark reinforced cargo trousers, a nylon belt with a holstered sidearm, and scuffed desert-tan combat boots. A folded ballistic sunglasses hangs at his collar. Relaxed, confident stance, one hand resting on his belt, ironic charming expression. Setting: a dim, dust-streaked covert ops staging area at dusk, crates and vehicles blurred behind him.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
