Red Han was made keeper of the Bone Point Lighthouse sometime before Endon was crowned as King of Deltora. While working at the lighthouse, Red Han had a daughter he named Verity. About a month before the Shadow Lord's invasion of Deltora, Red Han was visited by the captain of The Lady Luck, James Gant. Gant tricked Red Han into playing cards with him all night until Red Han owed him hundred gold coins in debt, something he would never be able to pay off. However, Gant was willing to forget the debt if Red Han put out the light of the Bone Point Lighthouse.
