| Big Red b. 1914 Gender: Female Species; Red Fox, with some Red Wolf ancestry. Height 6' 1" Nationality: American Occupation: Singer/ entertainer/ nightclub owner Big Red, or more often, just "Red", is the owner, and star attration at Red's, a nightclub in the heart of Casino Island. If she has another name, she doesn't use it, and whatever history she had before she arrived on Spontoon Island in the fall of 1938, she doesn't talk about it. On the other hand, she has made it her business to find out what goes on in Spontoon, and the surrounding islands, and over the years has built up a network of informants. Dealing in formation, an serving as a go-between for various deals (not always legal) became a profitable sideline for Red. Despite her silence about her past, or because of it, speculation continues. There's that pinup-painting in a well-known men's magazine that looks a lot like her, painted by an artist who was killed not long after. Then there's that newspaper photo from New York that might be her with a proinent mobster. And of course there was the guy, who knew a guy who swore he saw her in a certain kind of film (the kind men like). Whatever the truth is, the vixen isn't talking.. As reported by Richard Bartrop |
