Redraw of one of my worst old pics. The bar wasn't very high, so I tried polishing it a bit, but didn't have a bad conscience stopping eventually.

If I had to pick a song for this, it'd probably be "Unafraid" by Queensrÿche: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXdGK2LMr4c
since that OC is actually heroic, just sadly working for the bad guy.
In his active days, I imagine Etaoloth as a hell of a leader. Never getting personal with his guys and gals, but still leaving them in the knowledge that they could absolutely trust him. Over time, his unit got a excellent reputation and would be called on to solve the really bad problems and the really dirty messes. At this point, he'd shed all of his former self and become that weird, almost robotic military persona.
Nobody missed the civil war when Gadeth ended it, but not everyone saw another dictatorship as a good permanent solution. Not Etaoloth, though. Restoring order and peace was enough to earn his undying loyalty. Not that he didn't notice it when signs of decadence and openly displayed evil crept into Gadeth's reign later on, but by then, Etaoloth saw this as the next generation's problem.

The rubble in the background is beautiful, too. Concisely enough to be recognizable but unobtrusive enough so it's not distracting. The rough brush strokes make it look so fittingly painterly and messy. Great!
Thanks!
