Possessions: Masud possesses the ancient Egyptian book of death and life. Unlike the other versions, these ones hold true magical powers and can be used to cast spells.

Backstory: Masud was once the high priest of the pharaoh before Alexander's invasion of Ancient Egypt. When Alexander the Great did come invade Egypt was tasked by the pharaoh to protect the books of life and death from falling into the Greek's hands.
While the Greeks were invading Egypt, Masud fled from his home country with the books and lived in isolation from everyone else. To better protect the books of life and death for the purpose of evil deeds, Masud started to practice spells and magic from the two books.
Fast forward 300 years, it is the year 48 BC, and Masud is still around. The reason for this is because the former high priest used a spell from the book of life to extend his lifespan to live longer.
In the year 48 BC, the fires that Julius Caesar had his man torched his ships to, spread outward and ravaged the parts of Alexandria. The fires then spread to the library of Alexandria, and its scrolls in there were supposedly destroyed in the fire.
However, the scrolls in there didn't get destroyed, because before the fires reached the place, Masud collected most of the scrolls in there. He stored all those books in a bag that he enchanted to make it easier to carry the books.
After Egypt was taken over by the Romans, Masud decided to make his own home, where he can practice his magic safely without being detected by everyone. In 24 BC he constructed his home which he calls the Crypt of Alexandria.
For the past 1900 years, Masud has been researching spells about life and death from the two books, and collecting ancient Egyptian relics. He also has been visiting the tombs of the pharaohs to honor them by actually talking with their spirits. The magician was also the one who placed curses in the pyramids to punish those who disturb the tombs of his pharaohs. He also went briefly into Europe, when the Roman Empire was still around to see what's happening over there.
In the late 1800s, Masud sensed three signatures not humans who were nearby him, and got ready for a fight. The former high priest was going to the pyramids of Giza to pay his respects to the pharaohs.
When Masud came to confront the three people, he let his guard down, because they didn't show any harm to him. The three people are Catori Valencia, Jack, and Medusa, who are all supernatural creatures in their own right.
Masud, then invited the party of three into his home the Crypt of Alexandria, who graciously accepted his invitation, because they needed a place to rest. Catori, Jack, and Medusa, then told the Egyptian magician that they were visiting the pyramids, because the party of three were traveling over Europe, and explore the rest of the world.
In the next few days, as Catori, Jack, and Medusa were getting ready to go traveling again, Masud decided to join them on their journey. The reason for this is because they were his first friends in a while, and also wants to see what Europe has become the last time he was there, when the Roman Empire was still around.
And with that, the now party of four traveled across the world through the Crypt of Alexandria. Masud installed several flying talismans along with one massive teleportation talisman in his home to make traveling easier.
In the late 1900s, Masud, Catori, Jack, and Medusa caught wind of the existence of Gensokyo while exploring Japan. Masud became interested with going to Gensokyo because he liked the prospect of meeting fellow magic users like him, while Catori, Jack, and Medusa wanted to meet other supernatural beings just like them.
The party of four then traveled to Gensokyo, to see what the land of illusions has in store for them.
During the Dragon Incident, Masud became the leader of Team Alexandria, because he was the wisest of all of the team.

Relationships:
Catori Valencia, Jack, and Medusa: the three of them are Masud's best friend who traveled with him throughout the world for the last 100 years. When they were in Gensokyo, the Egyptian magician gave his friend gifts for he created himself.
For Catori, Masud enchanted a bag that produced a limitless supply of human flesh for the wendigo.
For Jack, Masud enchanted his axe to be able to unleash his spiritual powers through, and be nearly indestructible.
For Medusa, Masud gave the gorgon a bow and arrow, in which the arrows are able to turn their targets into stone upon touch.
Patchouli Knowledge: A fellow magician just like Masud, the two of them usually talk about things related to magic. Masud would on occasion visit the Scarlet Devil Mansion to discuss and experiment things related to magic in Patchouli's library, Voile.
When Masud first met Patchouli he immediately used his life magic powers on the purple haired magician, and ended up curing her asthma. After this little incident Patchouli is able to not worry about getting asthma at all, because Masud's life magic made it so she wouldn't get it again.
Marisa Kirisame: After hearing the treasure trove of books with magic that the Crypt of Alexandria had, Marisa made it so that Masud's home was second place to go 'borrow' from.
However she has no luck with breaking into the Crypt of Alexandria, because of the amount wards and spells protecting it from any intruders. Masud would also welcome the black-white witch into his home, because she makes for some good entertainment by fighting against her.
