Fulfilling their task obviously the Reds are among the sisters that travel more frequently far away from Tar Valon in little groups and so only a part of the Ajah remain stably in the White Tower. Rather, the Red Ajah was likely more concerned with misuse of the One Power in general, and Reds travel also in search of wilders or other female channelers (for instance runaways or sent away from the Tower) to check their behaviour. However, it is unlikely that the Red Ajah's purpose was, particularly when it was originally formed, solely to hunt down male channelers. The Ajah eyes-and-ears are specialized to signal all the strange events and other singularities that can be related with an improper use of the One Power. They do this mostly by detecting the residue of weaves made from saidin. The Red has, for millennia, been seeking out men who can channel. Also it means, especially in the past, to search and eradicate any group of female channelers who gathered outside the White Tower law. The Red Ajah focuses on castigating the wrong and dangerous use of the One Power, which mostly consists in capturing male channelers and bringing them to the Tower for gentling. There are not many Domani Reds, and most of them are meaner than snakes caught in a fence.

In recent decades the Red Ajah accounted for approximately one fifth of all Aes Sedai. Despite this, the Green has never surpassed the Red as the largest Ajah. During and after the Trolloc Wars, the focus of Aes Sedai as an organisation shifted from curtailing the activity of male channelers to fighting the Shadow at the Blight and the Green Ajah correspondingly began to increase in numbers to almost rival the Red in terms of numbers. From the founding up until the Trolloc Wars, the overall proportion was much larger than it is now, with between one quarter and one third of all Aes Sedai choosing the Red.
