Red priests are the clergy of the religion of R'hllor, called so because of the the loose, crimson robes they wear. Red priests may be male or female.
They are a common sight in Essos, as the faith of R'hllor's influence is more widespread and children are sometimes given to temples of R'hllor to be raised into the priesthood.

In cities where slaves are branded with facial tattoos, slave red priests have flames tattooed across their faces.
