Hyper-realistic portrait of an older Varric Tethras with a salt-and-pepper beard. He is holding a LARGE MEDIEVAL REPEATING CROSSBOW made of dark wood and polished brass gears. NO RIFLES, NO GUNS. The weapon must have a horizontal bow limb and a complex mechanical crank system. He wears his iconic open-chest shirt and a regal leather coat with a thick fur collar. His expression is witty and roguish. Background is a magical lighthouse with floating amber lights. 8k, masterpiece, cinematic textures, focusing on the mechanical details of the crossbow 'Bianca'.
