Oxblood Rutherford

Oxblood Rutherford is a huntsman from Mistral and a former member of Team MARS. His weapon of choice is a mace with firearm capabilities.
== Appearance ==
While shorter than his teammates, Oxblood is still a fairly large man. He has slightly tanned skin, cropped red hair and dull red eyes. His eyebrows are fairly thick, and he styles his facial hair in a handlebar mustache which makes him appear much older than he is.
Oxblood wears mostly red leather armour with darker accents along with gold trim. His upper arms are mostly bare, but his lower arms are covered by elbow-length gloves.
== Personality ==
Oxblood seems to be vaguely more mature than his team partner Horace, offering support when the hurt is offended by Akane's words, but still shares in his brash showmanship, developing short rhymes based on their names to introduce themselves.
== Abilities and Powers ==
While not all that smart, Oxblood is a notably capable huntsman - noted to be in the top five percentile the year his team graduated from Haven Academy. He shares this skill with Horace and Makkuro, the latter of whom won a Vytal Tournament.
