Redman is a major character in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
Redman first appears as a user on 'DDS-NET', a messageboard, at the beginning of the game. He informs the hero about the city he lives in.

Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
Redman appears occasionally throughout the game in the form of an animal, allowing the Protagonist to undertake "Vision Quests", which lets one see a person's last moments. There are three Vision Quests the hero must do in order to progress in the game. Later in the game, it's revealed that Redman was once a shaman who led the Algonquian tribe. He came across Manitou, and tamed him. Redman proceeded to use him in battles, and became victorious in war. Manitou used his slain foes as sacrifices, growing more stronger with each soul.

However, Redman feared that Manitou would become too powerful, and that he would lose control, so he decided to seal Manitou away. He also created Nemissaout of a fragment of Manitou. She was made so that if Manitou was ever unsealed, she would be there to stop him. But, in order for her to do that, Nemissa would need understand humans. So Redman sealed her as well, and abandoned his mortal form to keep watch over Manitou and Nemissa.
