**Red Hood**is a former main antagonist in *Batman: Shadow War*turned main protagonist of *Batman: Red War.*He is the second Robin to Batman until his transformation into Red Hood, a vigilante who kills his enemies and Gotham City's criminals instead of sparing and capturing them.

## Personality

Red Hood cared for his friends and wanted to live up to protect Gotham City and stop crime. However, he possessed an explosive temper with numerous incidents of him going too far in his actions as Robin with hints that one day he might kill instead of using restraint. After his brutal torture and supposed death, his mental state startetd detoriating, and he had lost hope and started to hate his mentor. He became vengeful and wanted to kill Batman, becoming ruthless, calculating and apathetic to the "weak" that he once swore to defend. He was blinded by rage but still cared about his other former allies.

Once he snapped out of it, Red Hood showed emotion and even saved his former mentor's life and assisted him. After his mentor's "death", he wanted to succeed him by protecting Gotham and believed the only way to keep the streets safe is to kill criminals so they do not harm innocents again. His sense of morality has turned to the extreme, differing greatly from what most would consider acceptable ideals of good and bad. He firmly believes that the wicked deserve to be punished and stopped permanently, and that their deaths, no matter how brutal and even illegal, are needed as they better the world. When dealing with criminals, Red Hood is brutal, cold and efficient and would use extreme tactics such as torture, brutality and eventually kill them. He firmly believes that the truly evil deserve no mercy and as such he holds no regret in the deaths of any heinous criminal he kills.

However, despite this, Hood greatly values the lives of innocents and will do his absolute best to make sure that civilians are not harmed. He also strongly misses his mentor and still cares about his former allies and even the GCPD, who attempt to stop him due to his extreme tactics against criminals, so Hood attempts to avoid hurting them at all. Sometimes, Hood chooses to spare the lives of his enemies and is even willing to give his life to protect Gotham.

* "Hard to forget about night, huh? In a way, Batman, this was the site of your first greatest failure. Maybe your greatest, but certainly not your last, right? Ah, memories."
* "Now tell me...how does it feel?"
* "Is that what you think this is about? That you let me die!? I don't know what clouds your judgement worse. Your guilt or your antiquated sense of morality. Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me. But why, why on God's Earth...is he still alive!?"
* "You son of a bitch."
* "Yeah, well if you want answers to questions beyond reason...there is a guy in Arkham Asylum who wrote the book on crazy."
* "Hey...its going to be hard to learn a great many things about me, but I'll give you one for free...I am no one's son."
* "Ignoring what he's done in the past. Blindly, stupidly disregarding the entire graveyards he's filled, the thousands who've suffered, the friends he's crippled. And I thought...I thought I'd be the last person you'd ever let him hurt. If it had been you that he'd beat to a bloody pulp, if he had taken you from this world, I would have done nothing but search the planet for the pathetic pile of evil, death-worshipping garbage...and send him off to Hell!"

* "Keep your guns trained on him. If he even looks like he's planning to leave that room, open fire. Oh, and avoid the bat symbol. That's a uh...little trick. That's where his armor's the strongest. Aim for the weak spots at the shoulders first, then coordinate fire at the points where the plates meet."
* "Of course. You're thinking, who the hell is this guy?"
* "So, you've still not lost your touch? Good. That is gonna make this so much interesting."
