Background
Richard is the prince and heir to the throne of Valsena, Kingdom of the plains. He quickly befriended Loki who was the leader of the Silver Knights, a prestigious division of the royal army of the kingdom. The two of them often fought and trained together during their early days.
History
Heroes of Mana
- “Prince of Valsena. His hot-blooded nature sees him spearheading the battles he fights. He is well respected as a capable swordsman; some even call him a national hero.”
- —Notebook
Loki is first encountered during Chapter 9, The Fall of Valsena where he teams up with Loki and Altenish reinforcement to defend the Valsenan territory against the Peddan army. They unfortunately fail to fend the enemy off, and Castle Valsena falls at the hands of the enemy, revealing the third mirror of Esina. The young prince watches helplessly as his parents are hinted to be killed off by the Peddan army. Richard and Loki are forced to escape his country and join forces with Roget and crew.
In chapter 11, White Flames of Despair, as Roget and crew retreat in the Frostbite Fields after the unsuccessful attempt at defending Altena, he tries to temper the princess of Altena, Valda, as she unleashes powerful magic against the enemy will still in shock from leaving the mother to die in the castle.
The prince of Valsena teams up with Loki and a few others during chapter 17, Moon's Echoes, to create a diversion in Duskmoon Forest to fend off Peddan troops while Roget and crew infiltrate Chartmoon Tower to enquire the help of the Moon elemental. They finally manage to draw the invaders away in the next chapter, but are caught off guard by Inath's diversion, telling them the holy city of Wendel has been taken by Baxilios.
After the Peddan troops retreating from the holy capital, Prince Richard returns to his homeland to participate in its rebuilding. Unlike other members of the resistance he's most certainly been affected by Anise's mirror and had his memories of the past events taken from him.
Interlude
The leader of the Silver knights returned to Valsena and continued to be close with now the newly crowed King Richard. He and his wife Simone became parents of Duran and Wendy and lived a peaceful life, until the Dragon Lord started causing conflict in the region. Both King Richard and Loki took arms and headed for the Quon continent to settle this mess once and for all. Aided by a faerie and with the brilliant tactical mind of Domperi, the Valsenan troops managed to defeat the Dragon Folk on their own ground. The call for celebration was short lived though, as Loki and the Dragon Lord fell into an abyss during the onslaught. Despite many searches, they could not be located and the army had no other choice but to head back to Valsena. King Richard insisted on telling the dire news to Simone, who immediately collapsed by the shock. The poor woman had turned ill for a while now, and hid her condition from her relatives fearing her husband might not fulfill his duties properly. Her sister Stella promised to raise her children as her own. Simone died shortly after.
