Red is a Lightweaver agent embedded among the Sons of Honor under the guise of a darkeyed workman. He helps Veil investigate, searching Ialai’s room with a playful streak that turns even small discoveries into an occasion for a joke. He spars with Vathah and is trusted to take charge when the mission team is away. His quiet effectiveness rests on the contrast between an ordinary worker’s appearance and an observant, capable presence.
Description
Red is a tall young man with dark eyes; no specific skin tone, hair color, or facial features are given. His common disguise is that of a darkeyed worker: brown trousers, a buttoned shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbows, and bright suspenders. He has an alert, nimble presence, often handling small objects deftly, and an easy, joking manner that sits lightly over his watchfulness.
