What Makes Him Heinous?[]

- Created a group of turncoat apes with other followers of Koba with his friend Grey.
- Wanted war against the humans so very much, that Grey turned on Red.
- Joined the human's side by helping the rogue Alpha Omega army, becoming Colonel McCullough’s “pet”, personal bodyguard & third in command.
- Launched an attack on his former ape colony with human soldiers, but is captured.
- When interrogated by Winter, Red overpowered him demanding the location of the Ape Colony, which Winter gives in order to survive and on a condition to let him work for the Colonel, or Winter himself will be slaughtered by him - this has consequences as later on as well, as The Colonel himself breaks into the colony and kills Caesar’s son & wife.
- Helped Alpha-Omega capture and kidnap Caesar’s apes then enslave them all to make them build a wall in extremely harsh conditions.
- When finding Caesar with the Ape X’s, he knocks him out and presents him to the Colonel.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He redeemed himself during his final appearances.
- In his final moments, he was horrified upon witnessing the human cruelty towards apes when they were shooting them all as they escaped, making him realize the error of his ways.
- When he sees Caesar attempt to throw grenades towards a gas tank, which could have endangered all of them, and getting shot by Preacher, he saves Caesar by killing Preacher.
