Art style: Korean manhwa.
An extreme close-up of a man's face, focusing on his mouth and jawline. His lips are set in a thin, hard line. The lighting is dramatic, with one side of his face lost in deep shadow. His skin is pale and his jaw is clenched. The mood is ruthless and final. The dominant colours are cold greys and deep blacks.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Korean manhwa" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Korean manhwa".
Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Korean manhwa" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Kael: Strong rule: style --- Korean manhwa ---. A tall, imposing man with short, raven-black hair and icy silver-grey eyes. He wears a dark charcoal military uniform with silver epaulettes, a high leather collar, and a heavy fur-lined cloak. His face is stoic but shows a hint of repressed pain. He is standing in a grand, dimly lit hall with tall gothic windows. Dramatic shadows define his strong jawline and broad shoulders. The style is sharp Korean manhwa with clean lines and highly expressive, cold eyes.
