His weapons were made in ancient Noridic style and when he was burried, he was burried with all the honors that Nordic fallen heroes would get. So was he a Nord or Reachman? Also, is it only that they follow the Skyrim's Nordic burial site model? (In regards to developers) I mean would it really be the fact that Nords built those temples there dating from Dragon Wars, or is it that developers just didn't want to give Reachmen the temple and burial structures that would be different from Nordic? It would seem that Red Eagle, looks like that theory not far from truth. Unless there was more to Red Eagle then I realize, I think I'll do a bit more reasearch. Yes, the Red Eagle was a Reachman. The reason why he appears to be a Nordic Draugr is for the same lore breaking reason Olaf One-Eye and Borgas are Draugrs, simple Bethesda laziness (none of the listed people should be Draugr). I suspect that the whole nordic ruins being associated with the Red Eagle could simply be another Reachman settlement on an ancient Nordic ruin (notice you never see any settlements actually relating to Reachmen), but the culprit of that is also most likely Bethesda laziness.
