A fierce Viking warrior king journeying to Valhalla, adorned in dark warpaint and sporting a scruffy, black beard. His eyes blaze with an intense, angry expression and a prominent scar mars his rugged face. Clutching a formidable Viking axe, he stands under cinematic lighting, with ethereal, volumetric rays highlighting his imposing figure. The atmosphere is moody and thick with tension, as dripping mud clings to his battle-worn attire, adding to his fearsome presence.
