Richard (TV Series)

"I had a family I lost it to this world. Saw them die. I'm scared that if we don't do something now, that we won't only lose more people, we'll lose everything. I know what the Saviors are and I know what they do and I know they cannot be trusted."

- Richard to Morgan and Carol

Richard is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. He is a member of the Kingdom, he is described as "a rugged, no-bullshit survivor who’s very protective of his way of life. He’s straight laced, no nonsense, and is as tough on himself as he is on others."

Washington D.C.
Nothing is known about Richard's life prior to the outbreak, other than he presumably resided somewhere near the greater Washington D.C. area.

Post-Apocalypse
At some point after the outbreak, Richard somehow came into contact with Ezekiel and subsequently joined his group, where together he helped his leader to establish a peaceful settlement named the Kingdom where he proved to be a prominent member of the community and in the process he became one of Ezekiel’s closest and trusted allies.

Richard was present at the time of the arrival of a notorious group of survivors named the Saviors who operated on behalf of Negan. Upon meeting, the Saviors demanded a portion of supplies in exchange for leaving their community unscathed, though initially reluctant to comply, the Kingdom was forced into submission through brute force and thus entered into a period of oppression and depravity.

Throughout the following months Richard aided his group into gathering supplies in order to compensate towards the Saviors demands and thus he took part in several conducted weekly trades between the two groups, which he alongside Ezekiel, Jerry, Dianne, Benjamin, and several other members kept secretly hidden from the rest of the community.

"The Well"
Richard attends the feral pig hunt with Ezekiel, newcomer Morgan Jones, Benjamin, Dianne, Alvaro, and Jerry. After the pigs are herded into a garage, he allows the pigs to feed upon a walker tied up in a room, stating that he wants their bellies filled with rot for the Saviors. After Dianne loads up the truck with the captured pigs, Richard drives separately from the group back to the Kingdom. Later, he is present at the exchange with the Saviors and gets into an altercation with a young Savior. He manages to dodge Jared's initial blow and punches him in the face in return, prompting everyone to raise their weapons. As Ezekiel attempts to diffuse the situation, Jared knocks Richard to the ground and punches him several times before being ordered off of him by the lead Savior. As the Saviors drive away, Gavin informs the Kingdom group that Richard will be the first killed if next week's food drop is too light. A bloodied Richard looks on and scoffs at the Saviors as they drive away.
