A mature Black man in his 50s-60s with intricately patterned dark gray and black tribal markings on his face, evoking a sense of ancient wisdom. His long braided hair is predominantly gray, with strands of silver, bearing the dusting of frost or snow. A thick, lengthy gray beard, similarly coated with frost, adds to his commanding presence. The portrait captures his intense expression as he gazes thoughtfully just off-center. He is clad in a rugged, layered garment of dark gray and deep blue, reminiscent of animal hides or handwoven textiles, hinting at a life in a harsh, cold environment.
