Ander Red

Ander Red is the older brother of Damon and Cyril Red. He lived with his brothers in the city of Corstia and worked as a Hooded Elite until he was executed by King Varnak. Despite dying early in The Hooded: Stand, he is the focal point of the story.

Background
Ander lived with his parents and two brothers until his parents were killed by Hooded from Corstia. At the age of ten, he fled with his two brothers and survived until he joined the Hooded himself at the age of twelve. He was promoted from Hooded Apprentice to Hooded Regular the same year and became a Hooded Elite at fourteen.

Soon after he was promoted to Hooded Elite, the War of the One Man Army began and he was called to fight. Around this time, he also took Nick Ambers as a Hooded Apprentice. It was during this war that he met Joran Tanner. He and Joran would help end the war by fighting Raskin of the Desert Rose with eighteen other Hooded Elite.

Soon after returning to Corstia, Joran Tanner defected from the Hooded and left Ander behind. Over the next few years, Ander searched for Joran to bring him back to Corstia, but didn't hear from him again until the Martolac Uprising began.

Ander fought during the entirety of the Martolac Uprising, which dragged across the Martolac and the southern part of the Kingdom of Regostia. Before the war escalated to a world war, Ander fought Joran in a one on one battle and killed him. It was because of this battle that Ander became a famous war hero in Regostia.

Upon returning to Corstia, he took Melody Onyx on as a Hooded Apprentice and eventually convinced his brothers to become Hooded Apprentices as well, with the goal of taking all three of them on as apprentices. However, before Damon and Cyril formally started their training, Ander was convicted of treason against King Varnak and executed.

Abilities
Because he is a Hooded Elite and listed on the Roster of Power, Ander is easily considered one of the most powerful people in the Kingdom of Regostia, if not the world. He is considered a master of the Art of the Silent Hand and has survived confrontations with some of the most powerful characters in the story. He's adept at shaping morar. He is also incredibly fast, able to cross large distances in the time it takes the average person to react.
