In Scoundrel in the Thick, Red Elk is a foe who becomes a friend. He is vehoe, peace chief, of the nearly two hundred Cheyenne in his care in Scoundrel in the Thick. He had once been notxevoe, war chief, who led his warriors into battle against other Plains tribes and the US Army. He is a fan of good red wine, books about Genghis Kahn, and Mozart. This is how he dressed for ceremonial occasions.
