Generated from: Battle HUD portrait of this exact character, the old sage Merlin (long grey hair and beard, stern weathered face, slate-navy hood up, dusky purple-blue cloak collar). Head-and-shoulders bust, three-quarter view facing slightly left, calm, watchful, faintly weary expression. Painterly anime illustration, clean line, soft cel-plus-gradient shading, semi-realistic proportions, warm key light from the left, cool rim light. Square 1:1 composition, face centred with generous margin so it crops cleanly into a circle. Plain deep blue (#1636d8 to #0a1a9e) soft gradient background. NO text, NO border, NO dither, NO watermark.
