The RedBrands

**The RedBrands** are a crime family established and operating out of Neverwinter. They began with just a small operation; RedBrand, the leader, and Gash, her right hand man, becoming criminals for hire and gaining connections within the city. From there, it has grown to a point where the RedBrands now have complete control over the city of Neverwinter, from its borders, government, citizens, etc..

Although it is a known secret that the RedBrands are the ones who actually run the city, they still have an image to uphold. The RedBrands run their operation under the guise of a textiles and clothing company.

The Lord of Neverwinter, Bann Alagondar, was put in place by the RedBrands. To the citizens of the city, he is the undisputed leader, but it is well known within the RedBrands that he answers to RedBrand.

### Neverwinter Merchants

The RedBrands care deeply about their city, and the people that live in it. The Neverwinter citizens know that if they treat the RedBrands with respect, they will be treated with the same respect back.

RedBrand loves her city and would never want any arm to come to its residents, but not everyone seems to be as agreeable as RedBrand.

### Phandalin

Known as a RedBrand safe haven. It is general knowledge that if a RedBrand is ever in need of somewhere safe to hide, Phandalin is their best bet. RedBrand has dealings with the Lady of the town, making it safe for RedBrands to come and go from the town, as long as no business is conducted within the city walls.

### The Many-Starred Cloaks

RedBrand made it very clear to the groups taking residence in Neverwinter that they’re either with her or against her. The Many-Starred Cloaks made the smart decision to be with her.

## Notable Members

### Melgree "RedBrand"

Melgree, going by the name RedBrand in all crime-related circles, is the Don of the RedBrands. She established the RedBrands in Neverwinter and gained the influence and power needed to eventually conquer the city. Very little is known about RedBrand to most under her.

A common joke that is told, mostly among the goblinoid members of the RedBrands, is that RedBrand herself is not very much of a goblin, despite being one. Her mannarisms do not reflect that of a typical goblin.
