Biography
He was a resident of Gunnison, Colorado which, in 2004, became involved in the Xenomorph outbreak that ultimately led to the destruction of the town. He was employed as a delivery boy at Pizza One, had problems with the police and had a brother called Dallas who was in prison for burglary.

He also had feelings for Jesse, a girl he knew since childhood. Because of the he had problems with a gang of bullies led by her boyfriend, who treted him violently. Ironically it was this attitude that led Jesse to abandon her boyfriend and becom Richard's girlfriend.

When the Xenomorphs came, he and his brother joined forces with others, including Sheriff Morales, Kelly and Jesse in order to gather weapons for their own protection and fight together so they could survive the increasingly horrible event.

Many of the group died during this calamity at the hands of the Xenomorphs and the Predator, who was after them, including Jesse, whose accidental death at the hands of the Predator was very painful to him.

He was one of the few survivors of this event due to his decision to follow his brother and Kelly, when she realised the military was going to nuke the town to prevent the infestation of Xenomorphs from spreading. Her daughter and his brother, also survived for the same reason, while two others, who followed them died because of Xenomorphs who attacked them on the way out.
