The Red Kings are a street gang that appear in Manhunt 2, only in the mission Red Light. Their weapons of choice are the Pliers, and the Baseball Bat.

Description

Not much is known about them except other than being your typical thug type street gang. Canny to their name, they all wear red clothing with some black. In a cutscene, one of them is seen ripping off a Civilian's nose with a pair of Pliers, who shortly dies from bleeding. Another Red King member is seen being beaten by two Cops, in which case he dies from the continuous hits he obtained from the beating.

According to some dialogue such as "Good thing I'm a necrophiliac" and "Let the loving commence", which can be heard upon them killing the player, they are necrophiliacs, fitting into Manhunt 2's theme of sexuality and sexual abuse. Also, one Red King member is seen patrolling around a damp room with a TV showing what appears to be porn.

Trivia

• Their name might be a reference to the English progressive rock band, King Crimson.
• The Red King wearing the baseball cap is unique in the Wii version for the game. He and a Dixmor Inmate wearing a straitjacket are NPC's exclusively featured in the Wii version.
• The beta design for the Red Kings strongly resemble the Hoods.
  • They might actually be inspired by the Hoods, like how the Bloodhounds seem to be inspired by both the Wardogs and the Skinz.
