Red looks like he spends a lot of money proving to observers that he doesn't lack in the wherewithal to do so.

Malik al'Himar, nicknamed "Red" for his unusually vivid hair color, makes no effort to hide the fact that he comes from money and lots of it. His obvious affluence can even confuse some who are forced to wonder what he's doing in the far-flung corners of the Third Horizon that he's taken to in his adult life. Indeed, unlike most who take to the life of mercenaries, he only left his very posh life on Mira because he wanted to, not because he had to.

Red's Descriptions and Mannerisms

From his bright red hair, which he wears wildly-styled on top and buzz-cut along the sides of his head, to his technological implant eye, to his stylish black and red "leather" flight jacket, everything about Red's look is distinctive. The same can be said for his personality. His comportment is usually frenetic; seems like he's operating at a thousand km an hour. Mostly, this is a function of his persona, but his constant consumption of strong coffee certainly contributes.
 
Red will have nothing to do with the notion of anyone by him flying "his" ship in a crisis. He has supreme confidence in his own abilities and can't fathom there ever being a better pilot standing by. Out of the pilot's chair, Red can certainly hold his own when the crises move to the individual level. He's adept both close up with a pistol and at a long range with a rifle.

Crew of the XQ-TC-1215

Crew position - pilot
 
Red is still getting used to the other members of his new group but he has already formed some strong opinions.

• Adil - Red respects his elder but only as much as his own father. Which is to say, enough as long as he's getting something out of it.


• Ish - Red believes in Ish's single-minded focus and appreciates the technology aspect to all weapons of war -- most especially those with readouts. He is quite friendly with Ish and aligned with his outlooks. He is a student of gun ranges. Red looks up to Ish as one might look up to a big brother, though this is a brother in arms.


• Oasim - Red does not understand Oasim, sometimes literally. Red talks at least at 110% speed. Oasim speaks at 50% speed. Red believes Oasim is more than slightly broken in a way a software update can't help.


• Pints - Pints was Red's first buddy. He's sociable. He is not a positive force in his life. Pints wouldn't encourage Red to do something he would later regret.


• Akeel - Akeel is untrusted and not a member of his inner circle.
