'''Red''' is one of the deserters picked up by [[Shallan]] on the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa2|24}} He left Highprince [[Sadeas]]'s army because he felt like it stopped being a war of retribution, and was a game for spheres for the [[lighteyes]].{{book ref|sa2|24}} Red likes to laugh, and gets a lot of Shallan's jokes.{{book ref|sa2|24}} He is a lanky [[Alethi]] man with a beard, and does not have red hair. In fact, it is unclear where he gets the nickname Red from. He is tall, but not too tall, more around average [[Alethi]] height. {{book ref|sa3|____}} He enjoys doing his work well, but also like to chat and sit around. Despite this, he does want to be helpful, and is often the first to be working.{{book ref|sa3|40}}

 

Red makes an attempt at flirting with Veil, though gives up after not much time. Red is definitely a nice person, one that likes talking to people and making friends in general, going out drinking and gambling, though he does not like [[Horneater Lager]], as most sane Alethi don't.{{book ref|sa3|29}}{{book ref|sa3|40}} He is very cheerful, and even after he accepts Veil as a friend offers to let her have one of the drinks on his ration.{{book ref|sa3|40}} He likes Shallan the best out of the group, as he is the most friendly of them, being more friendly than [[Vathah]], [[Gaz]], or [[Shob]].{{book ref|sa3|29}} When [[Veil]] is talking about how annoying and strange Shallan is, Red does not join in on the conversation, while others do.{{book ref|sa3|40}} When Gaz is talking about his past as a bridge sergeant Red is encouraging him, saying that Gaz was the perfect sergeant. It is hard to tell if he is joking or not, but he seems to be, because he is smiling as he says this.{{book ref|sa3|40}}

 

== Urithiru ==

Red spends his time in Urithiru lounging around in the common room gambling with the other men of Shallan's Guard. He doesn't seem to do much, mostly left to his own devices while Shallan does other things. Despite this, he still has a good time, and doesn't complain about not doing anything, as he doesn't seem to think he is worthy of his role as the Honor Guard of a [[Knight Radiant]]. It is likely that he talks to the other soldiers in this common room, as he is a very nice, amiable person that is generally well liked. He also could avoid talking with them much, especially [[Kholin]] soldiers because of his insecurities about his job and role in the Tower.

 

 

== Kholinar ==

The true purpose of bringing Red on the mission to Kholinar, as well as Vathah and Ishnah, is unknown to all but Shallan and King [[Elhokar]], who insisted that he come.{{book ref|sa3|61}} This reason is the fact that he has rudimentary training in espionage, and can hopefully help out with gathering information if necessary. Upon finding out that Veil and Shallan are the same person, he only laughs, as is chararistic of him.{{book ref|sa3|62}} After this he doesn't seem to do that much, also just lounging around and hanging out with Ishnah and Vathah, learning some more. He may occasionally go out with Veil on her expeditions into the city, but usually not.
