Biography
Early Life
Born Gustav[1], little is known about Red's early life, except that he made his home in Rask before joining the Chain of Acheron.[2]
Working for the Chain
At some point during his service to the Chain, Red achieved the position of Standard Bearer. He also sponsored King into the Chain, and the two grew to be close, each serving as a confidant to the other.[2]
While under the command of Commander Trip, the Chain was hired by the Lady of Brass to defeat the army of the rebellious General Xorn. At the Battle of Doors at Morning, Trip was killed, and Red took up his sword, quickly becoming recognized as the new Commander.[2]
In service to Lady Sariel
Sometime after the events in Alloy, The Chain undertook a contract by order of Duke Kenway, in alliance with Lady Sariel, to kill the archwizard Mortum, a pawn of the Saint Ajax the Invincible. The signing of this contract was witnessed by Sariel herself. Red and his lieutenant, Sweet, were given five arrows of Liannar that were capable of piercing the many wards protecting Mortum.
“Red Sky at Morning” (Episode 1)
The Commander and his senior officers attempted to assassinate Mortum, Ajax's wizard. During the mission, they were deceived, and Ajax arrived and summoned a demon, Relg. Relg grabbed the Commander, killed him, and devoured his corpse. Moments later, Sweet received a field promotion and was now the Commander.

In a moment of arrogance, Nails attempted to resurrect Red and restore him as the Commander of the Chain but overestimated his abilities and Red returned as a devoured, undead lich. Because of his, Nails passed out and was Sweet's opportunity to end Nails' live. As a result, Red's soul returns into the hands of Relg.
