Personality[]

Story[]
Specter of Torment[]
Red was a Curio hunter in his life, and can locate the ones hidden deep in the chambers of the Tower of Fate. He started collecting Red Skulls to find his bride, Scarlet, with whom he was separated in death. He offers to take Specter Knight to the locations of Curios in exchange for skulls. Once Specter Knight finds Scarlet's skull and delivers to him, Red will conjure her from it to be finally reunited. As thanks, they invite Specter Knight to assist to their wedding ceremony and dance, the latter which they will perform again if Scarlet is spoken to.
After buying all Curios, Red decides to continue collecting all Red Skulls and will reward Specter Knight 500 gold each. He will also lead Specter Knight to the place of his death in the Tower and give him back the Donovan Set and Caltrops. Specter Knight will be thankful, but Red will warn him about attempting anything against The Enchantress.
If Scarlet was resurrected, Red and her get out of the Tower of Fate together as Specter Knight returns from his confrontation with The Enchantress. They reappear later, dancing in a house at the Lich Yard, but stop to observe the undead horde invading the village, driving its living inhabitants out, and Phantom Striker's futile resistance to it. If not, then Red will be alone in that house, holding another Red Skull, and salute the invading army.
King of Cards[]
In King of Cards, Red appears as one of the players needed to progress in the Tower of Joustus. He can be found by going to the chest to the left of Missy, then falling down into the first hole to the right. He owns the Red, Scarlet, and Gall cards.
"Red:My beloved, my betrothed! My heart breaks, for her crimson skull lies misplaced.
Oh,toseehercrimsonfaceoncemore!
If you should happen upon a Red Skull, even a hundred of them, then
Ibegyou!Please!
Bring them all to me. In a past life I hunted Curios, but I'd trade them all away just to see my love again. Surely these would interest you?"
Talked to with all Curios acquired
"Red:
Oh!
You have [x] Red Skulls! I'll pay you 500 gold for each of them! Please! Quickly!"
Talked to after collecting 100 Red Skulls
"Red:O,
woe!
How I long to become lost in her empty gaze! I cannot stand to see another Red Skull!
Notonemore!
O, how her delicate mandibles clattered with laughter! ..Her beautiful brow ridge, so arched! Perfect.. um.. eye sockets... Wait a tic... I... I can't believe it......
It'sher!
We've found her!
Atlast!
"
[Red gives Scarlet a body]
"Scarlet:... Red? Red, my love.. is it really you?" "Red:Yes! I've been searching an eternity! My sweet Scarlet.
I'llneverletyougoagain!
My heart soars with joy! This calls for a celebration! Join us in the ballroom, Specter Knight!"
In the Tower's ballroom
"Red:Now that we're reunited, the ceremony can finally begin! Maestro, please!"
[After the dance]
"Red:You have our deepest thanks, Specter Knight.I hope you enjoyed the show!" "Specter Knight:..." "Red:
Howjoyous!!
Let's head back, shall we?"
Talked to when more Red Skulls are left
"Red:I'll find a way to repay you! Until then, please bring me more Red Skulls. Perhaps we could collect them all?"
Bringing more Red Skulls afterwards
"Red:Excellent! My collection grows! Perhaps soon we'll find every Red Skulls!"
Bringing the last Red Skull
"Red:
Haha
, that's the last one! Well done! As thanks, I've prepared a little surprise. Follow me once more into the Tower depths!"
[At the Tower dephts]
"Red:Would you look at this rubble! What possibly could have happened here?" "Specter Knight:... Who could say..." "Red:... Indeed. Well, here's what I found. I want you to have it."
[Red gives the Donovan Set to Specter Knight]
"Red:Impeccable, isn't it? Really, it's like it was made just for you!" "Specter Knight:..." "Red:I found these alongside it. Not quite magical enough for my tastes. Hardly worthy of being called a Curio." "Specter Knight:...Thank you, Red." "Red:The pleasure is all mine. Both of us might be a touch too sentimental for undead life,
haha...
"
[Red walks away]
"Red:I don't know what you've been plotting against The Enchantress, but be careful, Specter Knight."
Talked to again after getting all Red Skulls
"Red:Stay safe out there, Specter Knight... my friend."
Asking for a Curio without enough Red Skulls to trade for it
"Red:You'll need to bring me more Red Skulls for that one."
Choosing a Curio to go and obtain
"Red:
Ah!
This Curio is well guarded! While I can lead you there, you'll have to battle your way out!"
Entering a Curio Stage
"Red:It would seem that a curse has been placed here. I'm afraid your scythe will be of no use. Why is that, you ask?
Sorry
, but that's an ancient skeleton secret. We'll regroup ahead.
Treadcarefully!
"
Entering a Curio Stage without a curse
"Red:
Oh!
It appears that this room isn't cursed. You might be wondering why that is... I'm sorry, but that's
another
ancient skeleton secret. Now,
makehaste!
"
Completing a Curio Stage
"Red:Excellent! Away we go!"
[Red and Specter Knight return to the hub]
"Red:That Curio is is no mere bauble... Use it wisely."
Entering a new Curio Stage with a curse
"Red:This area is cursed as well. Tread carefully!"
Talked to with a new Curio Stage available
"Red:My heart grows cold... I have located new Curios, but have you found any Red Skulls?"
Talked to without any Curio Stage available
"Red:Alas, I am still hunting for new Curios to trade. I suppose you have important work to do, but please.. don't forget us!"
500 gold each. He will also lead Specter Knight to the place of his death in the Tower and give him back the Donovan Set and Caltrops. Specter Knight will be thankful, but Red will warn him about attempting anything against The Enchantress.
