Photos: Meet Pirate Redd outside Pirates of Caribbean at Disneyland

One of the fun parts about seeing characters at Disneyland is finding them as you walk around the park. Pirate Redd can be found in New Orleans Square at the Pirates of the Caribbean and is often found waving to the crowd.

Redd was a woman Irish background who inhabited the Caribbean during the 18th century. She came to be a pirate and found employment as a member of the crew of the Wicked Wench, notably in working as a smart-mouthed gun for the Auctioneer, according to a Disney Wiki.

At some point in the 1710s, the Wicked Wench traveled to the port of Puerto Dorado on the island of Isla Tesoro in a race for the island’s legendary treasure with their rival Captain Jack Sparrow.

As the crew ransacked the town, the slimy Auctioneer and his cronies (including Redd) began rounding up the townspeople in order to auction off their goods to members of the crew.

The Auctioneer was particularly interested in selling a flock of chickens however Redd consistently undermined him by instigating the auction’s attendees to demand the rum for sale instead.
