Database Error, or DBE, is Trace's former friend. He is seen with Maren and Karen as they search for Trace. He is later dubbed 'Red'.
Backstory

Name
For unknown reasons, this character hasn't been given a name to this date. In Tom's website, he simply appears as [database error] in the character list. This name is likely a joke, a placeholder until his name is revealed and/or some problem with leaving the name field in blank within the database. Fans generally call him Database Error, DBE or Red when referring to him. [1]
In one scene in the comic, Maren was about to say his name but he cuts her off. Only part of the first letter of his name can be made out. His name starts with either a P, an R or a B.[2]
