A proud medieval paladin standing tall in a confident, noble pose. He wears heavy, worn plate armor with a distinctive zigzag lightning pattern engraved across the chest and shoulders. His closed helmet has a vertical slit visor and rough, battle-scarred metal texture. A simple cloth scarf is wrapped around his neck. The armor looks old but well-maintained, showing dents, scratches, and signs of long service. One fist is clenched near the chest, the other relaxed but ready, conveying calm strength and unshakable faith. Dark, minimal background, high-contrast black and white illustration style, gritty inked comic art, dramatic lighting, heroic and solemn atmosphere.
