Old Red

Alwin "Old Red" Nutt I was a Subrosian member of the Hands of Darkness and the first known person to be known as Alwin Nutt. He considers himself to be the bane of Rasul Kazad's existence.

Appearances
Alwin first appeared in Hands of Darkness in his mortal form, but later made appearances as the Lurid Blade in Shadows of the Twilight and Hyrule Dystopia.

Origins
Alwin was born in the Underworld of Morgavia. However, his parents were killed when he was young, and he survived along with his brother Gabriel for their adolescence on the streets. While Gabriel chose to settle down, Alwin instead decided to leave his homeland to act as a mercenary.

Eventually, he ended up in Hyrule during its Civil War. He was hired to work for the Gerudo, and served as a better soldier than many of the Gerudo. When the Civil War ended, Alwin fled the land to avoid being tried for war crimes.

When the Gerudo again went for the throne, Alwin was contacted and offered a handsome reward to lead a travelling group of thugs to act as Ganondorf's unofficial enforcers. During this time, it was determined that he would be a fitting Hand of Darkness, and was offered immortality in exchange for unending allegiance. Alwin agreed to these conditions, thinking to himself that there was no greater payment.

When Ganondorf was sealed away, Alwin chose to return home to see his long-estranged brother. There, he discovered that Gabriel had been killed by the dwarf Rasul Kazad some years earlier. He began hunting for Rasul, which eventually led him back to Hyrule.
