A cousin to the Prince of Wales, Sir Richard has a distant claim to the throne. Although he prefers the vicious fighting of a battlefield, he is grudgingly participating in tournaments at the command of the King to learn restraint.
He has recently returned from fighting against the French and has formed the Black Dragons Company from amongst his cohorts and drinking companions.
Sir Richard uses his long reach to his advantage, keeping his opponents at arm's length, and will win by any means necessary.
