Usually attached to the Legion Etranger he is feared by the Arab Tribes as a the mighty desert warrior, undefeated in personal combat, unmatched in horsemanship and incomparable in marksmanship. The Red Shadow is an Algerian Scout (Goumiere) employed by the French in their pacification of South Eastern Morocco, Western and Southern Algeria.
