Art style: Anime.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered on a moonlit mountain path above Latakia, dark pine ridges and a distant refugee camp's faint fires filling the sides. Khalid is a fictional Syrian guide and former teacher in his late forties: lean weathered build, olive-tan skin, short salt-and-pepper hair, a greying trimmed beard, deep lines around tired alert brown eyes, a faded scar on one cheekbone. He wears a worn olive canvas jacket over a grey knitted sweater, a loose checked keffiyeh around his neck, dust-coloured cargo trousers belted tight, and scuffed brown leather hiking shoes caked with dried mud. A battered canvas satchel and a small kerosene lantern hang at his side. His expression is weary but steady, grief hidden behind resolve, one hand raised to signal the group to halt quietly.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
