What Omar’s Trident Tattoo Could Mean in Outer Banks

The trident is historically associated with the sea deity

Omar has a unique trident symbol tattoo on his arm. The trident is historically associated with Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea (via Oxford Research Encyclopedias). Given the show’s ability to weave symbolism and history into its mysteries, it’s very likely that Leitner and his motley crew are somehow strong on the seas and have done their research on Blackbeard.

As viewers learn throughout the show, John B.’s late father, Big John Rutledge, was a former professor turned treasure hunter who maintained a diverse network of fellow hunters and scholars who assisted him on his quests. It is possible that Leitner and his crew are part of a secret society of hunters specified in Shipwreck. The group is the foreign banks Biggest mystery in the second half of the season.

Who Killed Omar in Outer Banks Season 4?

Why Chandler Groff is looking guilty

Omar’s killer is still on the loose, but Chandler Groff (J. Anthony Crane), Wes Genrette’s son-in-law, looks guilty. Groff lost his wife and son in a drowning accident years ago, linked to what Genrette believes is the family curse. Genrett’s ancestor killed the pirate Blackbeard and his wife, Elizabeth Teach, and buried the latter without her precious amulet. In the following centuries, members of the family reported that they were haunted by her ghost shortly before their untimely death.

Genrete claims to have seen the ghost and believes his death is imminent, and Genrete feels called to join the Pogues on their mission. Only after the Pogues find the amulet, Wes Genrette is dead, and Chandler Groff Is Eager To Sell Goat Island’s Gothic Horror House For A Hefty Real Estate Profit. Presumably, The Curse is actually some serious family drama, especially after viewers learn that JJ is Groff’s son in Outer Banks Season 4 Part 1’s twist ending, making him the baby previously believed to have drowned.

Graf may have had the motive to kill Omar because he wanted to reach Blackboard’s treasure first, or because Leitner and Co. threatened to reveal the family secret of JJ’s parents. Viewers will likely find out more about Omar’s killer and the Genrete family learn in Outer Banks Season 4 Part 2, streaming on Netflix on November 7.
