Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir.
A clearly recognizable likeness of Dr. Aris Thorne — keep their real face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, build and any signature look (hair, kit, number). A man in his mid-40s with a sharp, angular jawline, salt-and-pepper hair cut short, and deep-set hazel eyes reflecting intense focus. He has a rugged but scholarly vibe, with a weathered face from years in the sun. He is shown in a dimly lit ancient stone study, surrounded by dusty maps and small stone artifacts. The lighting is low and warm, highlighting his contemplative expression. He wears a heavy, functional outdoor shirt with multiple pockets and a sturdy leather belt. His presence is commanding yet quiet.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Neo-Noir" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Neo-Noir". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Neo-Noir" idiom, not in any other medium.
