Red Vacktor

"*Let me explain this in layman's terms people come far and wide, going to great lengths in hopes of finding even the smallest trace of civilization, just a mere taste of what humanity once was. I pity them honestly, and every time I end up asking the same old question: why? Why do we do this? Do you honestly want to restore order, return to the way things were? Where's the fun of that so? I've chosen an alternative to adapt my surroundings, and look at me now, happy as a Mad Hatter, so am I crazy? Perhaps but this world doesn't feed the same.*"
—Red[src]
**Red Vacktor** was a main character and the main antagonist in SGCBarbierian's Crafting Dead Roleplay, as well as an overarching antagonist of the Crafting Dead Universe*.* He was one of the first antagonists of the series and had been at odds with the group ever since he killed Jordan as punishment for his rescue. He was also a cannibal who ate whoever he came across alongside his group, which he led until a mutiny removed him from power.

## Overview

Red was a sick person who has learned to "adapt" to his surroundings and eats people he comes across along with his men. This also causes any other prisoners he has to be disturbed because of his cannibalism. It is unknown how he got control of the group where he showed a sick dictatorship. He also was rather clever and was often shown having a playful side while taunting Nick. He, also, often acts quite predatory towards the people he's "taunting," especially Nick, making him more... disturbing. Red was truly a despicable, smart villain to the group. Whenever Nick had him in his sights, he would ultimately convince the latter to not shoot, giving him the chance to stage an ambush.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Not much is known about Red's life prior to the outbreak. He may have lived somewhere in or around the area of Greenfield.

## Post-Apocalypse

Following the Zaxen Virus outbreak in Greenfield, Red managed to survive the chaos and downfall of society. At some point, he began eating survivors and would eventually form a group of Cannibals somewhere within the Fall of 2014. He and his group grew rapidly in numbers and eventually a member named Joshua became lieutenant and worked alongside him. In early 2015, Red and a few of his men encountered AK and Jordan and kidnapped the latter to eat him.

Red says he came by to check in as the group appears to have a decent place. When asked how he found them, Red reveals that they came to his base to rescue Jordan. Nick confronts Red about the fact that he's been kidnapping survivors. Red responds by reminding him the old world is gone and that he has to eat to survive. When Ghetto calls for the group to shoot him, Red warns them that killing him won't save Jordan. The groups base explodes and causes them to be disoriented. Red uses this mental confusion to escape the area.

He informs Nick he won't tell him where his friends are being held as they are in someplace else. He doesn't respond to Nick's queries and instead he's interrupting him and causing him to become thirsty. He then incapacitates Nick by drawing his blood.

He tells Nick they should go up top to see Ghetto and Asjs Nick if he wants to see him. He orders Nick to follow him, but when this doesn't happen, Red questions Nick not wanting to see his friend. He warns Nick that he doesn't have any other options and that he'll be tortured of he doesn't follow.

Nick conples, but is warned that sudden movements won't be tolerated so he shouldn't try any unless he wants to be killed.

After Nick reaches the corner, Red says he will be teaching Ghetto a lesson for his actions. He proceeds to brutally hit Ghetto with his bat and laughs, noting the fact that they do not like his torture method. He hits Nick with a rusty pipe, causing him to bleed and retreat back to the corner. He says he's torturing them for fun and remarks that he likes it when gloomy weather moves in to match the mood. He assumes Nick didn't see something like this from coming and aims his Magnum at Ghetto. However, he lowers and claims it was just a joke. He doesn't accept Nick's offer for a trade and says the deals too easy. He then shoots Ghetto five times, killing him and laughs when Ghetto is no longer alive. He says he liked what happened and hits Nick hard with his bat. He asks Nick to enjoy the weather outside. When Nick begins running downstairs, Red tells him to run while he is still able to.

## Quotes

The following is a list of some of Red Vacktor's most memorable quotes.

"I was stopping by to check in. You got a really **nice place** here. Well lucky me you came to get Jordan. It's the end of the world Nick, everyone's **gotta eat**. **Killing me won't save** **your friend Jordan**."

-Red to Nick's Group, "Red's Here!''

"You know, it really was nice of Pvt. Sanders to leave you this **truck**. But leaving the keys with it was ***very risky***. Anyone could just walk right up and take it... Anyway, **thanks for the lift**, I'd say thank Pvt. Sanders for me, but something tell me you guys **won't** be seeing him. Enjoy the city boys, I'd stick around, but **I** **like my** **humans cooked well, not burnt to a** **crisp**."

-Red's message to Nick, "Going Too Far!''

### Season 4

"So nice of all you to join me...you're just in time for the **main course**. Nick, so glad you can make it to my... **get together**. How'd I know? I was the one that sent out the invitation. Are you truly so **blind**! Hasn't this whole operation been **oddly fortuitous**. The flyers you read, lettering your no man's land with promises of **liberation**, **food**, **shelter**, **security**... Did you never consider that these rudimentary promises were perhaps a bit too ***convenient***. Unfortunately yes Nick, you've been deceived yet again. Tisk tisk. And all along you thought salvation would come so easily.''

-Red explaining Heyworth, ''Journey to Heyworth''

"That'd be a bit unwise Ghetto... because, my snipers surrounding the area might not be very fond of such an **irrational decision**. Shame this conversation has been so **curt**... but I really should be off. I'm sure this won't be the last we see of each other. Ta ta, gentleman."

-Red to Nick's Group, "Journey to Heyworth"

### Season 7

"Heads up boys. I just found our next **meal**.''

-Red's reaction to find Nick's location, "Security Breach"

"Don't worry about them. But what you should worry about is or should take note is don't leave **letters behind**...uh, that was the key instrument of me finding you...**hahahahaaa**."

-Red explain how Nick got imprisoned, "Locked Up''

"I won't answer your questions, but I'm so glad you were able to come to this location, where I just happen to find my **food**... like, this is just nice. It's like delivery. I love it. More or less, yes, yes, definitely yes. Hahaha.... It's starting to make sense now isn't it?

-Red explaining his history with the Prison Group, "Locked Up"

"Hahaha... no you won't. You'll never **kill** me ever."

-Red taunting Nick, "Locked Up''

"It seems like you've ran out of time Ghetto... Your friends aren't coming and even if they do, it'll be too late for you. Oh Ghetto... I've never dream of killing you, but the Horde of walkers on the other hand, right now, my men are defending the Prison against the Horde using quite a bit of ammunition... as I'm sure you can hear... so that I can plan my evacuation. As much as would please me to watch you get devoured by a horde of the undead... that would put me in quite a pickle, you see Ghetto, you are quite... unique. And I believe you have a much greater purpose to serve. An answer, preferably a quick one as I'd like to avoid being eaten today. The way I see it Ghetto, your friends have abandoned you. That walker horde is probably 800 strong. If your friends did manage to get through, they're probably running in the opposite directio. Face it Ghetto, you're on on your own.

-Red to Ghetto, "Red's Men"
