<p class="MsoNormal">3)Characteristics

<p class="MsoNormal">-Background: Redgrave is an orphan left to an orphanage at a very young age. He along with Ciaran, Blaec and Albion who all come from the same orphanage attended Signal Academy. The 4 awoke their Semblance at the age of 12. However, they struggled to control their Semblance and caused nuisance to the academy.

<p class="MsoNormal">Despite their months of struggle, Qrow noticed their potential and believes that they'll be a good addition to Ozpin's group, he vouched for them to join Ozpin's group. After Ozpin's approval, he decides to help them out with books that can teach them the skills to control their powers and combat skills, guiding them during school time. Eventually, they brought their powers to control.

<p class="MsoNormal">During their time in Signal, Redgrave also made his weapons in the form of gauntlet and greaves, Mordiggian. At age 15, the 4 were given books again by Qrow and asked to train themselves in multi-weapon combat, despite not knowing the reasons behind it, the 4 would continue to train on.

<p class="MsoNormal">With all prerequisite met, Qrow brings them to see Ozpin. Ozpin lets them knows the truth behind their training, and telling them what they are to become. Agents for Ozpin's group, with all 4 agents flexible enough to use different weapons and style to prevent their actual identity being exposed. The 4 agreed and sworn to the cause of the group.

<p class="MsoNormal">Ozpin had the team trained vigorously on their own in combat skills, mental conditioning and sensory skills. He also had them to cut their hair, so that they could not be recognized easily when they graduated. The team also participated in both 37th and 38th Vytal Festival. After the graduation, the team has to part ways due to missions given by Ozpin. Which he and the rest of the members were given a pistol by Blaec as Blaec said "They are not truely fluid without guns."

<p class="MsoNormal">Redgrave would use an alias like the other 3, his being Sanguine Radcliff, he was sent to Vacuo in investigating a group that was supposedly linked to Salem (without his knowledge), which turns out the group is not. He also reunited with his team mates and assisted in ensuring the security of 39th Vytal Festival goes smoothly. During age 23, he moved to Atlas to watch on the Schnee Dust Company’s movements.

<p class="MsoNormal">Eventually he is recalled back to Beacon during the 40th Vytal Festival, the 4 were reunited and preparations were made to ensure the security. Their efforts however were in vain which the fateful battle took place, resulting the destruction of CCTS and the academy. Redgrave is then tasked to spy on Vacuo’s military movements by Qrow.

<p class="MsoNormal">-Personality: He in pretty enthusiastic and active. He is very intelligent as he is always discussing the team’s strategy. It is noted that Redgrave is somewhat sadistic as had commented that he like to see something in pain. This is also reflected in his weapon choice and design.

<p class="MsoNormal">4) Trivia:

<p class="MsoNormal">-Notable relationships:

<p class="MsoNormal">Ciaran Sapphiron: They are more than brother in arms, coming from the same orphanage. Ciaran and him would always come up with different strategies in handling different situations. If Ciaran is the brain of the team, Redgrave would be the team's second brain.

<p class="MsoNormal">Blaec Erwin: Redgrave’s brother in arms and they come from the same orphanage. Both of them are friendly rivals in video games and bicker at times due to the clash of personality and Semblance nature. However, the two are still on very good terms. Blaec gave the rest of the members a pistol he made before they part ways.

<p class="MsoNormal">Albion Nikko: His partner and brother in arms. Albion and him at times give friendly insults to each other. Albion is visibly upset when he learned that he has to part ways with the team for missions.
