The individual has distinct facial features, including a beard and mustache, and long hair flowing from underneath a helmet with a plume. They wear elaborate armor over a patterned garment, with visible layers suggesting opulence and detailed craftsmanship. A fur-lined cloak is draped around their shoulders.
