Richard is not a sell out. He has no memory of Russia. His father and mother spoke Russian all the time and that is where he learned.
The way I see it:
Richard’s father was a member of the Russian mafia. For some reason father was exiled to NeoCleveland. Later, when Richard was 9 and his little brother, Dave, was 5 the parents were killed. Probebly by an old rival from his mafia days, or maybe he knew to much and just had to be eliminated. Having no known family Richard and Dave were turned over to Child Protective Services. Dave was adopted, Richard being older was not. Richard spent the rest of his childhood in one juvie institution or another. There he learned how to move quietly, pick locks and pockets. Father had taught Richard and Dave Sambo. Richard later discovered that this is the martial art of Spetnatz, the Russian special forces. Richard now belives that his father was a member. Richard’s ability to fight kept him from being picked on in juvie. CPS has refused to give Richard any information about Dave. Richard has been trying to find Dave for along time. Richard still carries a picture of his family. Richard does not even know what his brother looks like now.
Richard is a quiet person who doesn’t volenteer information. He really doesn’t have many secrets though.
When he was 16 Richard
decided that he needed to start learning or he would never get anywhere.
Richard started paying attention during the classes that juvie provided
and learning all he could. The
teacher was an overworked teacher and was glad that someone was finally taking
an interest in what she was doing. She
has fond memories of Richard and so does he.
They were not lovers or anything, just
friends. When Richard turned
18 he was released from juvie
Richard fell in with a girl who taught him about electronic security. Shelly and Richard were together 9 months then one day she was gone. Richard sometimes wonders why she left.
Richard found Andrea and the two of them were almost inseprable for 11 months but eventually they grew apart. They are still friends.
When Richard was 19 he was working as a security consultant and accidentaly interfeared with an operation of (insert the name of a lg corp here). The leader of the team knows who screwed things up and hates Richard and would love to get even.
The next year Richard turned down a guy named Gary, who wanted someone killed. Richard didn’t want to do the job and didn’t like the guy offering the job. Richard alerted the target and she escaped.
The next year Richard was with Jennifer and one day she was murdered. Richard would like to find out who did it, and why. He wants revenge, but his brother is his first priority. Richard thinks it might have been Gary but is not sure.
When he was 23 Richard did a job and netted $700.
Over the years Richard has bought many enhancements to help himself. There are several more that he wants, but he is not willing to sign his life away to get them. Richard is thinking about attending college if he can get the money.
