BACKGROUND 
Richie was street kid who was taken in by Duncan 
MacLeod after he broke into his antique shop and 
witnessed a confrontation between he and two other 
Immortals, Connor MacLeod and Slan Quince. It was 
there that he worked as a clerk in their antique 
shop. But it wasn't until in 1993 when Richie along 
with Tessa, MacLeod's significant other, was shot 
and killed during a chance mugging. MacLeod somehow 
knew that Richie was to become an Immortal. For the 
next year, Richie managed Duncan's dojo while 
learning the rules of the game. He soon joined a 
motorcycle racing team in Paris, but soon had to 
leave when he "died" in a motorcycle accident. He 
soon returned home to Duncan MacLeod until the 
occurence of the " Dark Quickening" took hold of 
Duncan MacLeod and made him turn on Richie and come 
close to killing him. Feeling betrayed by his 
mentor, Richie soon became a more active 
participant in the game, taking the heads of 
Immortals whenever he saw them, not caring that 
some had no fight with him. One such Immortal was 
Carter Wellan. Richie encoutered him in a bar and 
picked a fight with him. The two went outside and 
battled with Richie the winner. But, at the same 
time, Wellan's age old friend Haresh Clay drove up 
in enough time to see the battle and saw the death 
of his friend. Richie then became the target of 
Clay's wrath. Resting in his room, he was pinned in 
by a surprise attack by Clay. But skillfully Richie 
escaped. MacLeod then found Richie where he gives 
Richie a new sword to replace the one Clay broke. 
Richie then set out to get Clay, but MacLeod begged 
him to allow him to do it to reek vengence for 
something Clay did to him years ago. Richie does 
and MacLeod and he began their friendship over 
again. Now Richie was his own person and MacLeod's 
true equal. But their friendship almost took 
another pitfall when Richie met up with a man we 
know only as The Messanger. Taking the name of 
Methos, he tought peace rather than war. His idea 
was that "The Game" did not have to be played out 
and that all Immortals should lay down their 
weapons. Richie believed this and began to spend 
time with him. But when The Messanger was killed, 
Richie met his killer and beheaded him. The hopes 
of peace died with The Messanger, but Richie still 
held on to the ideals. But not too soon after, 
Richie's life came to a tragic end. Richie headed 
toward a racetrack for some reason or another, and 
was followed by Duncan Macleod after Richie had 
called him up. While at the racetrack, MacLeod came 
under some fit of illusion and was in a swringing 
rage with his kitana and without warning, he came 
down on Richie and beheaded his student, leaving 
Duncan to grieve for his now fallen student. 
Richie's life was short and ended the worst way 
possible.
