Dark Templar's Torment: Scythe, Snake, Despair

A figure cloaked in a tattered black Templar robe, with a stark white Christ cross emblazoned on its chest, stands with a terrifying and tormented expression, its face obscured by a deep hood that barely reveals tangled hair and dark circles under its eyes. In one hand, it clutches a blood-red scythe, its blade glinting ominously, while the other hand cradles a coiled, poisonous red snake. The overall mood is one of dark foreboding and despair, amplified by the pixelated rendering and the unsettling juxtaposition of religious iconography with symbols of death and venom. This AI-generated artwork, created with the hidream model at a resolution of 128x128, features transparency, allowing the figure to be placed against various backgrounds.
