Red Mist

The Red Mist is a fanatical cult of Turanian assassins that operate in the city of Aghrapur (and presumably other places throughout the kingdom). Lord Shaid, the righthand man to King Yildiz, was the secret leader of the Red Mist. The cult murdered Yildiz in their desire to establish a new order, and Shaid would have ruled Turan but was killed by Conan.
