About me: Those who know Richard best describe him this way: in prayer - humble, in service - loyal, in battle - invincible. Born into a noble German family, Richard trained in sword fighting, archery, wrestling and unarmed combat from young age. When he was seven, he started his training to be a knight, which culminated in his being knighted when he was 21. Not long after, he was to marry the German princess Elena Slusser, but she was killed in a jealous rage by another knight. Devastated, Richard left his family and joined the Knights Templar, only taking a piece of cloth that came from the dress Elena wore the day she died. Being a Templar, Richard is well versed in scripture along with the fighting arts. While he lives the life of a monk (having taken vows of poverty, chastity, humility and charity) Richard is a skilled and fearless warrior. He will fight to the death to defend those around him.
