Red (Ruby Quest)

(See also main Cjopaze article)"I am getting very tired of your questions. If you don't stop asking questions, I might have to bite your throat out... Just kidding."

- Red

A male, anthropomorphic, fox employed at the Metal Glen facility before the events of Ruby Quest. As opposed to Filbert; Red has been shown to genuinely care for the patients during his employment and even treat them kindly, instead of only considering them as test subjects for scientific research.

He as forth from the proceeding events of the game, he is shown to possess a sort-of sophisticated, civilized, and calm attitude (at least when in a good mood) and is normally opt for politeness. Moreover, he is probably best known for his iconic, madman's laugh and furthermore; his morbid sense of humor. Coincidentally, he is often regarded by many for possessing a strong similarity to The Joker due to these traits--this point is even referenced in an instance in which Ruby (under the influence of the "cure") slices open and across the right side of Red's mouth in light of The Joker's role in the film The Dark Knight.

Discovery of the Forgotten Room
"I knew they would find something down there. In my dreams, I heard them calling me to that place. The strange red growths covering the walls of the forgotten room are like some kind of bizarre [bit missing] clearly organic, and the fact it's survived this long is evidence enough of some powerful.

Before the collapse of the facility, he is shown to possess a sort-of optimistic-progressive, yet subservient attitude. Seeing as the standard treatment methods were not working, he suggested that the staff begin treatment using the organic growth found down at "The Brig".

Decline of the Facility
"My aggression with Ruby was in vain. Ruby is dead, but there is no permanence. Despite my best efforts, she will not have peace. It's all over now. I was too late."

- Red's Journal, November 1

Filbert later showed that Red was easily expendable to the staff, and thus soon had him revived and commited to the facility as a patient, himself, and quickly took over his position.

Post-Commitment
Following his suicide, reanimation, and subsequent incarceration,. Becoming increasingly paranoid and suspicious of the state of things, he began to develop odd, unnatural, and dangerous tendencies--likely where his iconic laugh started to develop.

Escape from his Cell
At some point, he had escaped from his cell and began to sneak about the facility, wreaking havoc; such as tormening and stalking both Tom and Ruby, and also ocasionally aiding them--unbeknownst to them at the time. Red made an especially big impression on Ruby when he musingly-threatened her twice and howled his madman's laugh at the sight of Stitches' mutilated body. (He's often even considered as the antagonist of parts 3-4 of the flash version of Ruby Quest) Prior to the discovery of Stitches' corpse, Red had requested two quarters from Ruby that she had been carrying

Second Suicide
"To ♠ From RED Try AND CATCH ME NOW."

- Red

During part 4 of Ruby Quest, Red had went back to his cell, constructing a homemade bomb using Ruby's coins.

Discontinuity
Something else to note that is widely fan accepted--though not officially canon--is that Red is often portrayed as being finely dressed.
