Casting portrait, neutral grey background, soft overcast window light. A man of 55, silver-grey hair swept back precisely, clean-shaven, gaunt face with sharp cheekbones and hollow temples suggesting illness he hides well. Pale blue eyes, steady and unreadable. Wears a charcoal wool overcoat over a dark sweater, no tie — wealthy but restrained, Boston old money. Thin lips, deep lines from nose to mouth. Skin pale, slightly translucent at the temples where veins show faintly. The controlled authority of a man who has never raised his voice because he has never needed to. Medium close-up plus 3/4 profile. Full-frame mirrorless, 50mm at f4. Hyperrealistic, no beauty filter, visible pores, the slight yellowish undertone of someone quietly unwell. 9:16 vertical.

Generate a single, hyper-realistic character reference image (strictly no collages, text, watermarks, or borders). The image must feature a cinematic, three-quarter portrait of the described character, maintaining a sharp, tack-focused emphasis on the face with natural skin textures, pore details, and realistic micro-expressions. The lighting should be cinematic and directional (e.g., subtle split or Rembrandt lighting) to give depth, blending seamlessly with the environment specified in the character description. The character must have a natural, living presence, looking slightly off-camera or directly at the lens with a subtle, context-aware expression. Ensure the full head, neck, and upper shoulders are completely unobstructed. This image serves as a high-fidelity identity blueprint for temporal-consistent video generation.
