Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge

Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge's Color

Lend us some insight into why Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge is red and not black. It looks sinister, it has a clear drawback that is very counter-intuitive in red, its greedy, and it benefits from death. What about this card speaks red to you personally that perhaps I am overlooking?

The drawback is top-down flavor and red has artifact synergy. The card could have been black mechanically, but nothing about it keeps it from being red. It could have been black/red hybrid if the set wanted to use hybrid mana like that.
