characters from the magnus archives: elias bouchard
I hope you’ll forgive me the self-indulgence, but I have worked so very hard for this moment, a culmination of two centuries of work. It’s rare that you get the chance to monologue through another, and you can’t tell me you’re not curious.
[ID: a six-panel aesthetic edit in muted tones, mostly in monochrome shades with accents of blood red in two of the images. in the middle of all images the name “elias bouchard” and underneath the podcast title “the magnus archives” are written in a serif font. the first image shows the torso of a man wearing a black coat and a black three-piece suit. the second image shows wrinkled white silk-like fabric splattered with blood. the third image shows a close-up of a man’s hand. on the ring finger, there is an eye-shaped ring, and on the pinky a wide, triangle-shaped ring. the fourth image shows a close-up of feet clad in black trousers, black socks and black leather shoes. the fifth image shows an illustration of a man peeking behind a curtain. the rest of the image is black and white, but the man’s skin has been painted red. the sixth image shows a blurry photograph of a man’s back, appearing to be standing in front of a window. end ID.]
