Crux (Profile Background)
A pale-skinned wizard with pointed ears and a goatee stands against a solid black void, wearing a deep red robe with purple accents and holding a glowing staff. The figure is rendered in a stylized, illustrative manner with dramatic lighting that emphasizes the character's sinister expression. The composition is a left-aligned portrait shot, with the character occupying roughly the left third of the frame against an otherwise empty black backdrop.
