Red is one of the aspects that exist in (and often outside of) Kano Jurgen's mind. He is a serial killer and rapist who first met Kano when he was running away from the mental hospital. Red, who actually had his own body at the time, was in the freezer behind convenience store torturing the female cashier Karen when Kano happened by. Their eyes met, just long enough for the woman to grab Red's gun and shoot him with it. His body died, but his soul(?) is stuck in Kano's body, and he wants it to himself.
Appearance
Red looks a lot like Kano, only with red eyes and a much more gothic sense of style. Sometimes Red has a tattoo of a flaming dragon on his arm.[1]
In the flashback showing Red in his original body, he is depicted with completely black skin and hair and red eyes so that we do not know what his true appearance is.
Personality
Red is a dry, sarcastic sadist. As a rapist and serial killer, he enjoys the suffering of others and in particular has a grudge against Kano for getting him killed and taking his soul. He likes to torment Kano with his memories and to goad him to anger. Red seems to want nothing less than to be the sole owner of Kano's body and yet is willing to drive Kano to attempt to kill him. He is arrogant, prideful, and likes to tease Cho lecherously. That said, he seems uninterested in making any sort of move on Cho even though he was willing to try to rape Fuuka when she foiled his plans in Hell.[2]
Despite all of these horrible character flaws, Red is willing mostly to play along with the role of Champion -- especially the parts that let him get to kill someone. Cho regards him as a terrible person but a valuable ally in a fight.
Apparently, Red was probably kind of a nerd before he became a serial killer. A former classmate remembers him as "the quiet guy on the yearbook staff," and he makes a reference to fantasy author Michael Moorcock's Elric novels when told that he would need to seek out a magical sword to fulfill his duties as the Champion.[3][4]
