"Think of me however you want. But Arthur, you're here, which means I wasn't wrong..."

—Red Arremer Joker

The Red Arremer Joker is a boss character from the Game Boy Advance port of Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts. He is heavily implied to be Firebrand (the main playable character from the Gargoyle's Quest series), as he mentions the Crest Wars to the party upon his defeat in Namco X Capcom (a reference to the Crest War in the third installment of the Gargoyle's Quest series, Demon's Crest).

Story

Red Arremer Joker plays a major role as the highest ranking general under Astaroth's command. He is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai.

Red Arremer Joker is the proud leader of the Demon's Blazon suppression corps, which is responsible for dealing with any threats to the Demon Realm Village, and commands several Red Arremers. He first appears in Prologue 4, defending the Demon World Village from Valkyrie, Morrigan, and Demitri and giving them a chance to retreat due to them being outnumbered and for them to seek the silver knight Arthur that took down the village years ago. He is always ensuring that things go as Astaroth desires; however, he feels no loyalty towards Nebiroth, and leaves him during their battle against Arthur and his allies in Chapter 34.

He returns in Chapter 41 for a final battle against Arthur in Belcrant. Before dying, it is revealed that he is the red demon that fought in the war of the crests centuries ago in the Demon World and put an end to the war. He says that the current situation is the same as that war, a massive conflict that could destroy the world and where people steal each other's powers, and wanted to see how the heroes that took down the Demon World Village would fight in this war, even if that meant falling in disgrace. Arthur then vows to the fallen hero that he will put an end to the chaos.

Trivia

• The Crest War mentioned in Namco X Capcom is almost completely different from the The Crest War in Demon's Crest
  • The war in Demon's Crest was more of a free for all than a war with the only semblance of a faction being with Phalanx, the Namco X Capcom version is a war between three factions between three demon nobles with Firebrand ending the war guided by the "Crest"
  • The Crest War in Demon's Crest was about getting every Crest (essentially element themed Infinity Stones) so that they can become all powerful, the Namco X Capcom version was a disagreement between three demon nobles, causing a war that is ended by the red demon
• Despite commonly being called red, both Firebrand and the Red Arremer Joker are seen as orange both in artwork and in sprites
