Red Ochre is an archaeologist, who worked in Luxor with the arcanist egyptologist, Howard Carter. After the discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb and the panic spread amongst the excavation team due to the 'Curse of Tutankhamen'. Ochre made a decision to investigate this curse and ended up specialising in the study of arcane curses.

His arcanum is centered around sigils and writings of ancient and modern arcane curses. The ink is crafted with esoteric bone shavings and iron rich ochre and applied on the gloves. (Without the bones it makes for a pretty decent ink which is why it's all over his sleeves 😭)

Red Ochre carries a clear case, with compartments full of various types of bone from varying time periods. He sometimes uses them in his ink, to achieve different effects with his arcanum. (Definitely goes against the Archaeology Code of Ethics but its the 1920-30s)
