Demonic Templar Priest with Scythe & Shield

A terrifying figure, a fallen Templar priest consumed by demonic influence, stands cloaked in a vibrant red robe emblazoned with a stark black Templar cross. Crimson horns, mirroring the savage hue of his skin, protrude from his head, framing a skull-like visage with a furtive, menacing gaze. He grips a rusted scythe in one hand, its blade glinting ominously, while the other firmly holds a black teardrop shield, its surface dominated by a bold red Templar cross. The overall impression is one of grim intimidation and corrupted power, a fallen holy warrior now embodying infernal might.
