Red Brand Bandits

The Red Brand Bandits made their base in the mining town of Phandalyn and use thuggery and intimidation to control the town. Their leader Glass Staff was working with a Drow Mage that went by the name Black Spider.

Members
The Red Brands had few notable members, they were mostly opportunists who saw a weak town they could take control over.

Glass Staff (Iarno Albek)
Iarno was formerly a member of the Lords Alliance but abandoned his duties and formed the bandit group. He believed himself too important for the minor duties the Lords Alliance had given him. Formerly close friends with the knight Sildar Hordring.

Big Boss (Hanz Yorington)
Hanz Yorington took over the Red Brand Bandit group after Iarno had been slain by the Liberators of Phandalyn. Hanz restarted the operation and began again taxing the people of Phandalyn.

Kruug
Kruug was the Chief of a group of Bugbears that had joined Hanz's Red Brand group, often used as the muscle to get commoners to give up their tithes.
