History
One of the Grey Wolf Clan, Red Cloud was respected as a shaman and advisor to chief Great Elk. However, the chief was murdered by his own son, Howling Wolf, who pinned the crime on a rival clan. Thus, they went to war without just cause and their gods sent a deadly drought as punishment. Red Cloud undertook a vision quest and discovered the truth, then returned and accused Howling Wolf. But in turn, he was accused of treachery and not one of his tribe interceded on his behalf. They abandoned him to die on the plains. But Red Cloud survived, while the whole Grey Wolf Clan was destroyed. Thereafter, the shaman of no tribe roamed the land.
Taking to adventuring, Red Cloud joined a band of adventurers—Darius, Erland, Luthor, Shinesta, Torgo, Xenobia, and Ignatius Max—who battled the dragon Blackheart before traveling to Waterdeep. However, en route, all eight of them were caught by the mists and taken to Ravenloft. Red Cloud called for his god, but received only silence. Count Strahd von Zarovich appeared to them and bade them destroy the monsters and killers sent by Lord Loren Soth to kill Strahd, on the promise of sending them back.
