	During her slow rise to power, Red Shroud has grown a vast information network across the Abyss through Broken Reach.

	Red Shroud abhors direct combat, finding it too crude and messy for her tastes, and even going so far as to bar it entirely from the walls of her fortress. The [[~~molydeus~~]] are similarly banned from Broken Reach, as she has little care for the [[Blood War]], a somewhat unique viewpoint amongst the tanar'ri (though not especially uncommon amongst succubi). However, she is far from a pacifist: Red Shroud is well known for her interest in poisons and venoms, vastly preferring the subtlety of their touch to personal involvement. It's said her collection of such is one of the largest in the Multiverse, with samples of all kinds both natural and alchemical. Quick to anger when she believes she is not receiving her deserved respect from one she sees as a peer, it's many the misspoken word or lack of courtesy that has led to the application of one of her favorite poisons. Some even say the brain damage inflicted on her consort [[Ygrax]] was not due to a goristro attack as is commonly believed, but rather the result of a special poison of her own creation able to effect even fiends; few believe such claims, however. Somewhat oddly for a tanar'ri, she holds much more patience for those below her — while she may toy with them, it takes a great deal to cause her to rise to the same level of anger.

The breadth of her knowledge tends to be limited to areas she finds personally interesting, but for those needing information on matters relating to the Abyss, she is a very knowledgeable source.

Red Shroud abhors direct combat, finding it too crude and messy for her tastes, and even going so far as to bar it entirely from the walls of her fortress. However, she is well known for her interest in poisons and venoms, vastly preferring the subtlety of their touch to personal involvement. It's said her collection of such is one of the largest in the Multiverse, with samples of all kinds both natural and alchemical. Quick to anger when she believes she is not receiving her deserved respect, it's many the misspoken word or lack of courtesy that has led to the application of one of her favorite poisons; however, she is also known to at times simply pick a victim at random for some imagined insult, purely for the pleasure of it. Some even say the brain damage inflicted on her consort [[Ygrax]] was not due to a goristro attack as is commonly believed, but rather the result of a special poison of her own creation able to effect even fiends, though few believe such claims.

Over the years, Red Shroud has raised a number of children, many of which she's kept in her personal guard or as potential infiltrators in the courts of others. However, she is quick to punish even her own kin, with no compunctions against selling her own daughters to her enemies; [[Fall-from-Grace]] of [[Sigil]] being one of the most prominent examples. Rumors continue to circle, however, that this is merely another plan of hers, allowing her to gain access even to those outside the tanar'ri that may one day challenge her rise to power.
