## Biography

The Red Scout is seen at the end of the first episode of *Rainbow Quest* saying a friendly hello when Sabre first enters through the portal to the Rainbow Quest Universe and explores his house. Sabre immediately runs away freaked out seeing a steve for the first time. The Red Scout chases Sabre trying to calm him down and eventually gets him to come back to his house. He then starts explaining what he is, what the Steves are, and why hes there. When hes finished he decides to bring Sabre to the Steve Temple so he can better explain the prophecy.

After a lot of walking the 2 get to the temple. Sabre askes the Red Scout how to open the door which he responds that he doesn't know how to. Sabre then tells it to open and it does. Once inside the Red Scout proceeds to explain the prophecy about how someone from another world, aka Sabre, will come and collect the crystals to create the hero and destroy the darkness once and for all. He then explains what each Steve represents with the image of the prophecy on the wall. The Red Scout finishes but when they start to leave lightning happens and 7 faint Darkness Figures appear on the pedestals representing each Steve. Sabre and the Red Scout are confused and the figures try to get past the 2 of them. The figures succeed, 1 passing through the Red Scout, with sabre trying to stop them unfortunately the door to the temple closes after they all escape. The Red Scout then starts explaining that those things were probably the Darkness and that they need to get out of the temple. the duo try to find something until Sabre comes to the realization that the door opened and closed because Sabre wanted it to so all Sabre would have to do was ask it to open. Sabre asks the door to open and it does. The Red Scout then tells Sabre that they need to get back to his house and he starts running there with Sabre trying to keep up.

Sabre tried to get him to slow down but he refused telling Sabre they're almost there. The red scout then proceeded to ransack his own house looking for something he would only refer to as "it". Sabre, being confused, asked him what he was doing. The Red Scout seemed incredibly scared and responded that he was looking for "it". Sabre asked him what "it" was but the Red Scout refused to tell him. The red scout continued looking while Sabre kept asking questions like what it looked like and how he could help. Eventually he gave up and decided to introduce Sabre to a friend of his.

After a lot more walking the 2 eventually got to a clearing in the forest. They waited and a Orange Steve appeared. The red scout told sabre to wait while he spoke to the Orange Steve. After a bit of conversation Sabre couldn't hear the 2 turned to sabre. Sabre then introduced himself to the Orange Steve and all 3 of them walked to the Orange Steves house. Once there the Red Scout went inside for a second while Orange Steve answered questions about his kind to Sabre. Eventually the 2 heard lightning coming from inside the house and ran inside.

The Red Scout had been facing away from them with Darkness on his back. He turned to reveal it was now on his face and that he was being infected. Orange Steve and Sabre panicked as they tried to figure out a way to save the Red Scout but there was only 1 way. The Red Scout explained that he was afraid he had been infected which is why he was looking for "it" but now its too late. He then instructed Orange Steve had to kill him so he wouldn't be become apart of the Darkness. Sabre told the scout no and that there had to be another way to stop the infection but Orange Steve, after a moment of hesitation, killed the scout where he stood. This devastated Orange Steve and Sabre.

The Red Scout hadn't been seen again until the season finale. Blue steve had opened a pocket dimension so the red scout could speak to Sabre and Orange Steve. He then explained that he had been tasked by the Orange Leader to keep a eye on Orange Steve and that Orange Steve was half of the Orange Crystal. This sparked the realization why Rainbow Red hadn't turned into Rainbow Steve and that Orange Steve would have to become the hero. After coming to those realizations the Red Scout said his goodbyes to the duo and wasnt spoken to again. The Red Scout is seen 1 last time before Sabre's final battle against Shadow Sabre as Sabre sees each of his friends that stuck by him ever since the beginning of his journey. Ever since then the Red Scout hasn't been brought up again.
