In this portrait, Altheus rises as the regal guardian of the rainforest—an embodiment of ancient power and quiet divinity. His obsidian plumage absorbs the forest’s shadows, yet a subtle iridescence suggests hidden galaxies within his feathers. His gaze is steady, wise, and sovereign, as though he has witnessed the birth of rivers and the first breath of wind.
 
Though fierce in presence, he radiates a profound serenity—an aura of restoration. Altheus is not merely a ruler; he is the rainforest’s pulse. In his quiet authority, storms soften, rivers find their paths, and the wounded earth mends beneath his unseen blessing.
 
He stands not as a bird, but as a myth—
the healer,
the wind-bearer,
the sovereign of rain and renewal.
