  Richard B. Riddick was a Furyan orphan, who has started his life fighting against the odds.  A seer had told Zhylaw the Lord Marshall that a Furyan would be responsible for his downfall. He had all male children on Furya strangled and massacred. But Riddick survived. His childhood and past are something the quiet man doesn’t speak about often if at all.

Richard is not a man of many words anyway.

Riddick came to Hy-Brasil just after Frank died to grant a dead man’s wish and pay of his debt to Frank, who had saved him by watching over Elpis and the unborn child. Quickly he became Elpis’ shadow in every sense of the word, partially because at that point his implants made him extremely light sensitive. Always there where she was, quiet and standing aside but always ready to jump in. For the first time in his life he stayed in one place without being hunted.

A bond grew between them which grew into love. For Ricard, Frank’s son, he became a caring father, even if he never left a doubt who Ricard’s true father was. For the first time he had a family, especially when Elpis became pregnant with their first child – Kira Bijou.  Once a feared and hunted outlaw, he now found his home in Hy-Brasil were he took Elpis as is wife.

Along with their marriage came change for him, as he was granted immortality. The potion he was given restored his eyes and healed his scars and other signs of aging. He remains human though and just posseses his Furyan skills.

Still feared for his strength and merciless training, he is no longer a hunted man, but a respected man. A loving husband and father, a fierce fighter and protector in Hy-Brasil who gained his immortality.

Like in any family there are quarrels: Elpis and Richard are known to fight as passionately as they make love. Richard has the strength to stand and speak up against the strong-willed and temperamental goddess.  If Ricard has any weaknesses then it is the love for his wife and family.

Richard even killed a woman who claimed she was his mother to protect Elpis and their unborn child from being possessed and controlled by the Furyan Elders who tried to take over Lyonesse. If Scarlett of the House of Fire was truly his mother will likely never be fully revealed now.

He is The Guardian, also called “the lion” who is a very important person in a place full of knowledge and power. He protects and advises The Librarian. All guards in every house, school and library are under his command.
