Red Manuel

"It's clearly leading us on another wild goose chase. And when you return to don Paragon empty-handed, again, Red Manuel will be the one to take your place at his side."

Red Manuel is a major antagonist of the Rooster Teeth animated web series Nomad of Nowhere. He is a bounty hunter, member of the Dandy Lions under Toth, and loyal soldier to Don Paragon.

He is voiced by Alejandro Saab.

History
In the episode "The Dreaded Nomad", Red Manuel, the Dandy Lions, and Skout set out under the orders of Don Paragon to find and capture or kill the dreaded magic Nomad, who is feared for his magical powers. They had tracked him to several areas before, but now tracked him to a thorny wood. Red Manuel believes Toth has led them to failure again, and expresses his desire to replace Toth as leader of the Dandy Lions (something Toth states he has done many times before). When the two butt heads, Skout tries to break them up, only for Re Manuel to mock her and push her over. However, Toth stands up for her and throws Skout's bag on him, proving she is stronger than him since she can carry the weight. In the woods, Red Manuel mocks Skout for researching the local flora, then proceeds to pick one despite the fact it is poisonous, causing his hand to swell and him to storm off.

Skout becomes separated from the others and meets the Nomad, only to find he is not evil or deadly at all, but instead a friendly magic man. However, Toth and the Dandy Lions find the Nomad and demand he come with them. To avoid capture, the Nomad uses magic to bring their supply of knives and weapons to life, distracting them. Red Manuel steps forward to fight the knives, but they run and the Nomad entangles him in a sheet. When the Dandy Lions come to help, he refuses them and slaps them, causing one to drop a torch, setting the sheet on fire. He runs around catching the area on fire and even bumping into Toth before Skout puts him out. He yells at Toth for letting the Nomad get away, but she just punches him to the ground. Toth sets the woods on fire, causing her and the dandy Lions to pass out from smoke inhalation, but the Nomad saves them. Upon waking up, Red Manuel aims his gun at the Nomad and tries to kill him, only for one of the Nomad's magical rock friends to knock him out with a broom handle, allowing the Nomad to flee.

Personality
Red Manuel is arrogant, egotistical, and selfish. He cares mainly for himself and shows excessive pride. However, he is also dimwitted and often takes both his allies, enemies, and environments for granted, or makes things needlessly complicated instead of going to an obvious solution. He talks down to those around him, especially Skout, and mocks any method of living that is different from his. Despite this, he can be wrathful and violent, though he usually does not get far with his attacks.
