Ogilvy was a compact and beefy, scarred, and bald-headed man with a flattened nose in the Thirty-Second Blade of the Crimson Guard. He had uneven but bright teeth and was quick to smile. His voice was almost inaudible due to its hoarseness. He had been recruited as part of the Second Induction and had signed on around the 1155th year of Burn's Sleep in Genabackis. Ogilvy wore a full mail coif, shirt and skirting. In combat, his normal joking manner disappeared, replaced by the face of a "cold poised killer" with a "feral grin".
