A regal and hauntingly beautiful medieval nobleman in 12th-century French court attire, with pale skin and intense eyes that hint at both wisdom and cruelty. His dark hair is impeccably styled, and his features are sculpted like a marble statue. He wears robes of deep crimson and sable, embroidered with subtle fleur-de-lis and vine motifs. Behind him: a backdrop of flickering candlelight, stained glass, and shadowy court intrigues. He holds a slim codex or quill in one hand, and his expression is unreadable—detached, composed, yet dangerous. He radiates both aristocratic elegance and underlying menace. Gothic lighting, painterly realism.
