The Red Ghosts

The Red Ghosts are nine hidden masters whose reach extends far beyond Arkest. They sit above even the Red Hand in the Grim Shadows hierarchy, though their intervention is rare. The Red Hand can request a meeting with them, and they can override the Red Hand by majority vote — but this has seldom occurred. During Starfaller's selection as the new Red Hand following Malrik Dreadmourne's death, all members of the Red Ghosts participated in the unanimous vote confirming his appointment. Their identities, locations, and the full extent of their influence remain among the most closely guarded secrets in the organization.
