Recloak is an eternal child whose maturing process was frozen when he was a teenager by donning the Crimson Mantle (as Right-Eye stated in SoD).

Redcloak doesn't understands how the world of adult people works, and thus instead of trying to work hard to improve things (like Right-Eye or the Former Hobgoblin Supreme Leader attempted, and like Durkon just proposed), he wants mommny and daddy (the Dark One) to force Reality to bend on Redcloak's dream world.
