That is a diffictult matter. It is never confirmed or mentioned that he came from Tora or that he has Toran ancestry. He could be seen as an honourable member but what is more interesting, in my opinion, is his daughter. She was clearly able to use magic, putting a spell on the crew of The Lady Luck. So it could be deducted that Verity is of Toran descent because Torans are basically only able to use magic naturally. In that case it is very likely that her mother was of the Toran tribe. However, this is where it gets very difficult. As far as I know there are no official rules concerning a person's tribe. To me, it is obvious that when both parents are of a certain tribe, the child automatically belongs to that tribe as well. I do not know how this works when each parent belongs to a different tribe? And when a child is born on the land of a tribe? But we are begging the question here because I assumed that Verity is able to use magic and therefore is of Toran descent. It is really a matter of what is required for a person to belong to a certain tribe. This can be concluded:

1 Red-Han's tribe is unknown but he is not capable of using magic

2 Verity is Red-Han's daughter and is capable of using magic

3 Torans are naturally capable of using magic

4 It is extremely likely that Verity's mother is Toran. How could she (Verity) otherwise be able to wield magic at such a young age. Not to mention that she created spells that bound an entire crew and was stronger than the magic of Laughing Jack. In that case Verity has to be Toran and it is also likely that she was aided by other Toran (connected thoughts) when she used her magic.

This is all very interesting but the remaining question is:

Is Red-Han of Toran descent?

This question can only be answered affirmatively when marrying a Toran woman automatically changes a person's tribe to that of the woman. As far as I know this is not the case. So in that case Red-Han does not belong to the Toran tribe.

I think it is also a great idea to start researching the tribe/ancestry system. It would be nice to have more/better guidelines when dealing with these issues.
