A dramatic close-up of Otis, a tall, lean figure with a wild, unkempt look. He is holding a metallic rod, sleek yet jagged, emitting a faint, ominous glow. The rod seems alive, pulsing with an eerie energy. In front of him hovers a small, radiant mote of power, casting sharp, otherworldly light on his intense, haunted face. The background is a post-apocalyptic wasteland, with ruins and jagged cliffs stretching into a deep, stormy sky. The perspective is deep, emphasizing the vast desolation around Otis, but the focus remains on him and the rod's sinister power.
