Character Biography
Montgomery Redding is a petty criminal who, after happening upon Dr. Frederick Hardesty's Brain Box, was enlisted by the doctor to act as his companion and helper in tracking down the Lantern and the Music Box. While in this capacity, Redding broke into Ryan Tolliver's home, binding and threatening the groundskeeper to give up the Lantern's location. Redding is eventually overcome by Ryan (with the aid of the Zapper) and arrested by the Circle City Police. However, without Ryan around to press charges, Redding is charged with trespassing and released from custody. He is currently at large.

He prefers to go by 'Monty,' but Hardesty insists on calling him 'Montgomery.'

The Should-Not-Be
In his capacity as Hardesty's helper, Monty Redding seeks out Ryan Tolliver to discover the location of the Lantern. After threatening the former groundskeeper, Redding is quickly overpowered by Tolliver and subdued using Hardesty's Zapper. He is then discovered by Alex Heaney and Keith Sorrels who place him under arrest.

"The Invoked"
While en route to the Boonies compound, Keith Sorrels fills Ryan Tolliver in on Redding's whereabouts given that he was not present to press charges.
