Richard, a stalwart figure in the Boros Legion, embodies the essence of a Conquest Paladin with a fierce dedication to order and justice. Standing at a robust six feet, his frame is clad in the gleaming armor of the Legion, marked with the symbols of his unwavering commitment to law. His hair, once a vibrant brown, now shows streaks of gray, a testament to the years spent on the battlefield and the burdens he carries. His eyes, a piercing blue, reflect a world seen in stark contrasts of black and white, devoid of the shades of gray that others might perceive.
As a monitor within the Legion, Richard's primary role is to ensure the enforcement of order through conquest, a task he pursues with a zeal that borders on obsession. His lawful neutral alignment drives him to make decisions based on what he perceives as the greater good, often at great personal cost. Richard's comrades are more than just fellow soldiers; they are his family, for whom he would willingly lay down his life. Yet, a shadow looms over him—a mystery that gnaws at his soul. Why do all under his command perish on missions? Unbeknownst to him, a false hydra stalks his every step, erasing the memories of the fallen from his mind, leaving him in a perpetual cycle of loss and confusion.
Despite these harrowing circumstances, Richard presses on, driven by a need to instill order in a chaotic world. His unique quirk is a habit of reciting old Legion oaths under his breath, a grounding ritual that helps him maintain focus amidst the chaos. His life is a tapestry of battles fought and sacrifices made, all in the name of a peace he fears he may never fully achieve. The conflicts he faces are not only external, with the ever-present threat of the false hydra and the chaos it represents, but also internal, as he grapples with the moral implications of his actions and the mysterious deaths that haunt him. Richard's journey is one of relentless pursuit, where the end might not bring the resolution he seeks, but rather a deeper understanding of the cost of his convictions.
