Alias: Red Hand, this is the alias that the media and the press came up with in their news and cover stories about the mysterious gun-toting vigilante. This is because of the red hand surrounded by a circle that is spray painted with a stencil and red paint on the back of his trenchcoat.
Known Photographs/ Eyewitness Description: Few eyewitnesses saw Red Hand in action. A woman that he saved from a rape described him as wearing blue jeans, a black t-shirt and sneakers on his feet. She also said that he was wearing a black tactical vest with multiple pockets over the t-shirt, dark earth knee pads over his jeans, black leather gloves, and a brown trenchcoat with a red hand surrounded by a circle spray painted with red paint and a stencil on the back(from where he got the name Red Hand). When asked about his face the woman said she only saw his eyes, because the rest of it was covered by a ski mask with 3 white stripes. Surveillance cameras eventually confirmed her description. Not long after that an artwork matching the woman's description, made by her son, appeared on the internet. In the comments the son thanked Red Hand for saving his mother's life and said that he made an artwork matching his mother's description in his honor.
Modus Operandi: Red Hand dosen't target a specific kind of criminal, although he prefers not to waste his time with petty thieves. Other vigilante's will deal with them anyway. Besides that, anyone else is fair game to him. His most common targets are murderers, rapists, home invaders and drug dealers, sometimes even mobsters. He has a motorcycle which he uses for his night raids and he deals with criminals by shooting them down, sometimes killing them with a knife, although the knife is really a last resort, more of a back-up weapon just in case. For rapists he has a special treatment. He dosen't kill them but instead he chops off their genitals, shoves them down their throats and leaves them like that. By the time the police and the ambulance get at the scene they usually die because of the intense blood loss. Firearms are Red Hand's primary tools for his vigilante work. On rare occasions he was seen using a knife and/or mixed martial arts against some of them.
Known Weapons/ Equipment: Traffic cams caught Red Hand using a
black Honda CB-1000R motorcycle. He uses it because unlike cars, bikes are much more manuvreable and allow him to get away from busy traffic or police chases a lot more easily. He also has a
flashlight in case he delves in dark places with no lights. The flashlight usually stays in a pocket of his tactical vest. The knife he carries is a
Cold Steel OSS Double Edge knife. The sheath for the knife also has a strap that Red Hand uses to attach it to his left thigh, that way he can get it out much easier in case he needs it. When it comes to firearms, Red Hand usually carries a handgun accompanied by something with much serious firepower, just in case. For the handgun he chooses between a
Kimber 1911, a
Beretta M9, a
CZ-75B or a
Ruger GP-100 revolver. He usually he ends up picking one of the first two. He has a thigh holster for each of them. When it comes to more serious firepower, a
customised Colt AR-15, an
MP5 submachine gun and a
customised Mossberg 500 shotgun are his options. Usually when he goes out he picks one of them that usually rests on his back thanks to a sling that they're all equipped with. He rarely had to use anything but a handgun though, but Red Hand prefers the "better safe then sorry" motto. Although his weapons are generally civilian legal, the MP5 is not, which is another reason why the police are hot on his trail, besides the blood soaked murders.
Territory: Red Hand is commonly seen in the West Side and in the Center too. However when he is targeting a specific person he goes anywhere he has to go.
