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.

In the east, they are a common sight, 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. Red Temples also buy children as slaves who are known as Slaves of R'hllor and raise them as priests, temple prostitutes, or warriors. In cities where slaves are branded with facial tattoos, slave Red Priests have flames tattooed across their faces.
