Description
An elderly man of Central Asian descent with weathered features that speak of a long and eventful life. He wears traditional Turkic garments and a simple turban, his posture dignified despite his advanced age of 107 years. His expression carries the quiet authority of a patriarch whose descendants would found great dynasties.
