Relationships
Relatives: No canon blood relations
Big Red: Big Red is one of Ochredari's best friends. He has been a regular in the god's forge since he was a cub. Ochredari often makes jokes about Big Red's appearance, saying that the ketucari has spent so much time around him that he started to look like him. Red doesn't seem to mind the teasing and instead turns it right back around on Ochredari.
Notable Relationships
Kenkasaei, Darhaskos, and Saudriga: Though not related by blood, Ochredari considers his fellow "set gods" to be his siblings, and they him. Though the four of them have very different personalities, they are close knit and support each other any way they can (similar to a colony of actual sets).Big Red: Big Red is one of Ochredari's best friends.

Personality
Alignment: Lawful evil (Notoriety)
Personality: Among friends, Ochredari is easy-going, jovial, and is known for his infectious, booming laughter. Although he is considered a good man by those who are familiar with him, Ochredari is still a war god by nature... as well as a weasel. He has a penchant for mischief and enjoys taking part in bloodshed whenever the opportunity arises. His alignment stems from the fact that he does not care around the intentions of those who worship him or call upon him so long as they somehow benefit him and/or his village. Ochredari tends to strike strangers as having a malicious, unpredictable undertone to his words and actions, even though he almost always has a smile on his face. He is fiercely loyal to those he considers family, including the inhabitants of the village he lives in. When dealing with Ochredari, however, it is important to be aware that the face he puts on for others may or may not represent who he truly is on the inside.

History
Ochredari is one of four god “siblings” that take the form of sets. Like numerous other gods, he was brought into existence by the sheer power of belief. Given the popularity of sets as pets in Velukaelo, it’s no wonder that they ended up having a place in the legends passed down from generation to generation in many different societies, giving rise to deities that bore semblance to the treasured weasels. Ochredari is a relatively new god (only a century or two old), brought into existence around the same time as Kenkasaei, Darhaskos, and Saudriga. Ochredari lives in the mountainous region northeast of Shalekesh, where he interacts frequently with the area’s inhabitants. Although his occupation as a war god comes with negative connotations, Ochredari is, for the most part, a jolly and well-loved god. He has never played a role in one of Anti’s scourges due to his young age, but he has been called upon for support in smaller battles involving the people with whom he shares territory.
When he’s not lending his power to his followers or stirring up mischief, Ochredari can be found living a surprisingly regular life in the village he considers home, working his forge, taking part in bar fights, and teaching pupils.
