Red Ruth, a night hag of ancient and malevolent lineage, resides in the thorny forests of Avernus, the first layer of Hell. Her skin, a deep shade of purple, is marred by warts and stretched tightly over her skeletal frame, accentuating her long, hooked nose. Her eyes, glowing with a fiendish delight, peer out from beneath a tangled mess of gray hair. Clad in tattered red robes that billow around her like the flames of the infernal realm, she adorns her waist with a belt of skulls, each one a testament to her vile deeds and a source of her dark power.
In her decrepit shack, surrounded by the thorns that mirror her own twisted nature, Red Ruth plots her schemes with a cunning intellect that belies her grotesque appearance. Her voice, a raspy whisper that seems to crawl from the depths of the abyss, carries a chilling mirth that unnerves even the most hardened of souls. Her unique trait, a habit of cackling softly to herself as she concocts her plans, adds an eerie layer to her already terrifying presence.
Red Ruth's desire is to ascend in the infernal hierarchy, to gain more power and control over the souls that wander into her domain. However, her ambition is thwarted by the chaotic nature of Avernus and the constant battles among the fiends. Undeterred, she uses her intelligence to manipulate lesser demons and mortals alike, drawing them into her web of deceit and using them as pawns in her quest for power. Her methods, though cruel and cunning, often yield results as she slowly but surely increases her influence.
Yet, her path is fraught with conflicts. The ever-shifting alliances in Avernus pose a constant threat to her plans, and her own nature as a night hag limits her ability to trust or form lasting partnerships. Despite these challenges, Red Ruth persists, driven by her insatiable hunger for power and her belief in her own superiority. Her story, a tale of ambition and malevolence, continues to unfold in the shadows of the infernal realm, where she remains a formidable and feared figure.
