A fierce Viking warrior king, draped in dark warpaint, his scruffy black beard framing an intensely angry expression. A deep scar runs across his rugged face, telling tales of countless battles. He grasps his Viking ax with determined strength, ready for the journey to Valhalla. Cinematic lighting casts dramatic shadows, while ethereal volumetric rays pierce through the stormy atmosphere. The scene is moody and immersive, rain-soaked and dripping with mud, capturing the raw and untamed spirit of the ancient Norse warrior.
