==History==

Richard is a promising young soldier in the [[Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade]]. As part of [[Wilhelm]]'s unit, he serves as an assault captain, leading the charge. His mild-mannered appearance hides his true skill as a warrior. He was famed as the legendary "Blademaster" and fought with great ferocity on the field of battle. Ever since childhood, Richard was forced into learning swordsmanship by his father. One day, [[Mueller]] noticed how abusive Richard's father was, and killed him - Richard has been following him ever since.

Mueller was Richard's idol, and did whatever he told him to do. Mueller told him to enter the [[Sacred Games]] (as a joke), and he did. He was apparently drugged, the cause being a piece of candy a little girl had given him prior to the fight. Doctor [[Murad]] detected this and disqualified his opponent. Mueller also told Richard to train at a waterfall, and he went right along and did just that. Richard ran into the [[Hero (Suikoden V)|Prince]] at the [[Waterfall Basin]], and upon Mueller's word, Richard was brought to [[Ceras Lake]] immediately.

Following the [[Sun Rune War]], Richard's fame had grown to the point where his fellow mercenaries suggested he create his own unit but he would turn down the opportunity in order to continue serving under Mueller.
