The Redbrands

The Redbrands are a ragtag band of outlaws that have taken over Phandalin. They think it's fun to abuse the townspeople - stealing, beating, even raping or killing those who try to stand up to them. All the villagers hate them, but can't do anything about it.

The Redbrands are usually found in the Sleeping Giant tavern and in the cellar underneath Tresendar Manor.

Appearance
The signature clothing item of the Redbrands are their scarlet cloaks and scarves. Most, if not all of their members are human males. They always carry daggers or axes, but have access to better weapons in their armory. If they're preparing for attack, they can outfit themselves with spears, longswords, shortswords, and light crossbows.

Behavior
Redbrands behave like typical ruffians. They enjoy alcohol, gambling, violence, sex (consensual or not), yelling, and showing off their power. They're too proud to back down from a fight, unless death is inevitable.
