No visible skin, mouth, eyes, skull mask or glowing eyes. No armour, weapons, jewellery, insignia or royal motifs. The silhouette is long, narrow and quietly threatening. The front shows a simple black hood opening surrounded by dark charcoal cloth; no creature visible inside.

Consistent three-quarter overhead view, clear profiles and real rear views. Limit robe palette to black plus3 cool charcoal shades with enough separation from pale limestone. Simple broad folds, hard stepped contours, modest hem and shoulder movement. No noisy textures or thin strands.
