Symmetrical front-facing cinematic portrait of a stressed and nervous young beautiful human apprentice, Nottel, in his early 20s. He has pale, messy brown hair and wide, anxious eyes. He is wearing a dark teal tunic under a matching teal jacket. The jacket features intricate, elegant silver embroidery details running along the seams and collar. Around his neck, he wears a prominent golden snake amulet necklace. He wears a majestic, avant-garde golden crown-helmet: the front forms a sharp, angular over his brow, while the top of the helmet elongates far backwards horizontally in a sleek, fully enclosed and solid shape, covering the entire back of his head; an aerodynamic, closed wedge-shaped crest that is completely filled and closed. He is holding a large, ancient golden staff topped with a small stylized crafted, coiled golden serpent head with emerald eyes. Setting: a high-contrast, dramatic light filtering into a grand council chamber with stone pillars, strict and commanding expression, realistic textures, highly detailed fabrics, dark fantasy atmosphere, dramatic lighting, 8k resolution, photorealistic.
