Close-up of a fierce Viking King rising from slick, dark mud, his face half-hidden beneath a shadowy metal helmet featuring two imposing ebony horns, streaked with dark warpaint; his wild black beard is interspersed with flecks of mud, framing an angry expression that reveals a prominent scar across his cheek. Clutched in one hand is his formidable Viking Axe, glistening under the moody, cinematic lighting as volumetric rays penetrate the mist, casting an otherworldly glow on the wet, dripping scene.
