History
The Red Right Hand was an organization consisting of people all of whom had sworn revenge against Wolverine. Its origins were traced to around 80 years ago when a mine owner enforced strict rules over his worker. The workers conducted a strike but the owner responded with violence against them. They, in turn, responded in turn leading to him bringing in hired thugs called the Pinkertons to enforce his rule. The union called a stranger to provide them some support leading to the mine owner reluctantly meeting the negotiators at the table. In anger, the rich owner got drunk and killed the union negotiator leading to him being killed by the stranger. During this entire time, the owners son saw his father die and swore vengeance against his killer as he had loved his parent no matter the cruel acts he had done against the workers. The family wealth was devastated as a result but the boy worked hard to earn his wealth whereupon he learnt the name of the man who killed his father with this being James Howlett. He then worked to ambush the man and tried to kill him but was quick to learn that he could not be killed through normal means as he healed all injuries. The young man-made numerous attempts all of which failed and he ultimately concluded that he could not get his revenge alone. He decided he needed help and began to look for others who lost loved ones at the hands of Howlett where he recruited them into the Red Right Hand. (Wolverine v4 #10)
When The Founder created this criminal organization, Daken discovered its existence and joined them in order to help them get their revenge against Wolverine. (Wolverine v4 #11) To that end, Daken decided to find his father’s children all around the world through the years, he then gave them to the Red Right Hand and on his advice, the criminal organization trained them in order to use them as weapons against Logan. Daken knew that they wouldn't stand a chance against Logan but having his father killing them would hurt him in the worst way possible. Those children would be known as the Mongrels. (Wolverine v4 #14)
The Mongrels became the organization's most trusted and loyal enforcers and was composed of Gunhawk, Shadow S., Fire Knives, Saw Fist, and Cannon Foot. After the Red Right Hand hired Mystique to help them send Wolverine's soul to Hell. (Wolverine v4 #5)
Afterwards both the Hellverine and the Red Right Hand went after a list of other targets such as John Wraith, the X-Men, Yukio, Amiko Kobayashi, Wolverine's clone X-23, and fellow Team X member Maverick. (Wolverine v4 #3) Most of them survived except for the Silver Samurai who was killed by the Red Right Hand's army. (Wolverine v4 #1)

Overview
In appearance, the Red Right Hand were a secretive group that all gathered together for their mutual hatred of Wolverine. This stemmed from his actions over his long life that led to the death of their loved ones. As a result, each had sworn vengeance against him and intended to make him suffer in life. (Wolverine v4 #14)
Among their agents were a group of highly trained warriors known as the Mongrels. Each of them were actually secretly the children of Wolverine with him not knowing that he had fathered these offspring. Their existence was discovered by the Red Right Hand who found them in different corners of the world. After being taken in, they were trained to be skilled warriors though it was never expected that they could slay their father. Instead, it was planned that he would slay them whereupon their parentage was to be revealed to him. It was intended that this revelation would bring Wolverine after realising that he had slain his own children. (Wolverine v4 #4)
