A brooding exiled paladin, aged between 30 and 40 years, with jet-black hair and a rugged short beard, emanating an aura of ominous darkness that hints at a curse upon him. This striking figure is depicted in a vivid painting, showcasing his torn and weathered, worn-out plate armor, adorned with broken holy symbols and dented with scars, suggesting a history of brutal battles. The armor is cracked, with pieces hanging loose, and rusted, with rusty rivets holding it together. The background is dramatic, dark, and misty, with swirling tendrils of dark red energy emanating from his hands.
