History: Richard was born in 1211, the second son of a king, his ancestors said to be a god and a mermaid. He took the throne at age 10, after his brother refused it when their father died. He had an unhappy childhood, loved only by his nanny and his personal guard Gareth. He was not a particularly good ruler, even in adulthood.



In 1255, he kidnaps a woman named Madalena - though she marries him by choice (dumping her lover Galavant), and Richard respects her (fake) vow of chastity. She then makes him invade the Kingdom of Valencia. He tries desperately to please her, even as he learns she's cheating on him with the jester. (He then also befriends her lover.)

After discovering more of her clandestine schemes and doing a little soul-searching (and Xanax), he finally decides to throw her in the dungeon. However, he is interrupted as his brother arrives and takes over Richard's rule. Richard challenges him to a duel, and decides he's going to fight it himself. More nonsense ensues, until Gareth sends Richard home to his own kingdom to save his life, on a pirate ship, escorted and protected by the hero Galavant.



They eventually make it back to Richard's kingdom, where they discover his people has implemented a democracy and dismantled his castle. He also learns that Madalena murdered his brother and took Gareth as her new king. On a more positive note, he also draws the Hero Sword, proving (unbeknownst to himself) that he is the One True King.

Lost for what to do now, as being a king is the only thing he knows how to do, he joins Galavant in his quest to raise an army, save the Princess of Valencia, and help her retake her kingdom from Queen Madalena. During the following adventures, he acquires a few more travelling companions: his childhood friend Roberta, a baby dragon he names Tad Cooper, and the horse Prince.



Family: Father (estranged, closeted gay, deceased when Richard was 10), mother (estranged, deceased), nanny (only loving parental figure, deceased), older brother (betrayed by, recently murdered), "uncle" (living happily in the Enchanted Forest with his boyfriend Destiny)
