Mirwais Khattak, cavalry exile

Generated from: Mirwais Khattak, a lean Pashtun cavalry officer in his late thirties, reimagined as a dramatic low-angle close-up bust portrait: half his face lit by a single torch flame burning copper-orange, the other half swallowed in deep shadow. He wears a deep burgundy cavalry coat with torn gold embroidery at the collar. A fresh scar cuts through his left cheekbone. His jaw is set, eyes narrowed in cold fury, a tulwar hilt visible at his shoulder. Background: blurred smoke and the smoldering ruin of a fort gate, warm embers floating upward. Painterly cinematic style with thick visible brushwork, rich amber and burnt sienna palette, no props cluttering the foreground, face and coat filling the frame. Historical 17th-century Khyber setting.
