Visual Description
A pale, long-haired man with dark flowing hair and red eyes fills the frame; a thin line of blood traces from the corner of his mouth. He wears a fitted, dark garment decorated with filigree and a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant, and a gold, cross-like scepter is held at his waist. The sky behind him is a burning orange-red with a sun low on the horizon, and his hair and cloak appear to ripple in a wind. The card title in Cyrillic appears at the bottom.
