Refer to a fairly well known novel by Margaret Mitchell,
entitled "Gone With the Wind."
The two major characters are Scarlett O'Hara and
Rhett Butler.

Maybe he looks like "Rhett" Red Butler,
or a "Better Red/Dead Than Dead/Red" Red Butler,
or a "Red Head" Red Butler

                                                         but what does
"Red Butler" allude to?  He doesn't look like a butler.

Wasn't the leading male of "Gone With the Wind" named
Rhett Butler ?
