An Ajshar arquebusier in full gear showing off a scary decorated faceguard. He's also carrying a matchlock rifle with several gunpowder containers, all while wearing a human-inspired bulletproof cuirass, something much more resistant than the traditional lamellar or maille armour that was used locally before.
