CFHS attacking Silver Chariot from underground
Magician's Red (マジシャンズレッド(魔術師の赤), Majishanzu Reddo) is the Stand of Muhammad Avdol, featured in Stardust Crusaders.
Magician's Red appears as a humanoid figure with a bird-like head. It has a heavily muscular upper body and its feathered legs are sometimes covered in burning flames. Its arms have claws instead of nails and it wears dark bracelets on both of its wrists. Originally, the Stand was barefooted, but during Avdol's return, it wore Arabian shoes.
Its design is inspired by the renegade god Horus, from Enki Bilal's Nikopol Trilogy.[1]

Magician's Red is generally depicted as having a red body, befitting its name. The particular shade changing between media, going from bright red to orange. Its feathered body parts are also generally depicted as red, but in ASB, they are blue.
This Stand is based on the first card in the Major Arcana tarot deck, The Magician; which represents beginnings. It does not show any personality, having a constant aggressive demeanor while listening without fail to its user.
Muhammad Avdol was naturally born with this Stand. It has full loyalty to his user, having served him its whole life.
Magician's Red is a powerful Stand with an advantage in range thanks to its ability to manipulate fire. Moreover, Magician's Red is still a physically powerful Stand, a single kick of his being able to shatter Judgement's armor, whereas Silver Chariot couldn't.[2] Avdol prefers open spaces in order to use said power more fully.
Magician's Red is capable of generating flames intense enough to evaporate metal projectiles mid-air and slice railroad tracks. Moreover, Avdol can also freely manipulate the flames, directing them midair, or shaping them as he sees fit. As the flames are the product of a Stand, they are invisible to non-Stand users despite still having the same properties as normal flames; non-Stand users merely feel the heat and see the generated heat waves.[3]
It was also shown that Magician's Red flames are vulnerable to water and can be extinguished when doused with it.[4]
Avdol uses several techniques with his flames.
