Biography
Multiversal War
During the time of Richard’s settlement on earth he gets to know about the multiverse and from that he gets to know about the alternate timeline and other of him. Then he meets a scientist from the 31st century and they share their knowledge about the multiverse. Also some of his variants like Kang get to know about the Multiverse and start a multiverse war to capture and rule it. To stop the war Richard finds Alitho and uses his harness to stop the war and also collects some safe realities which came into the same timeline later kept under the sacred timeline. To save his reality he created a government and a time variant authority to save his surviving variant also created a Miss minute to assist him.
He saw an asteroid and the time end and created a castle near the asteroid to protect the citadel of time and also to protect the sacred timeline. One day Loki and Skylive came to his timeline to which Richard invited him to talk. Loki informed him that he is that last man who remains but Miss minute was also claiming that to which he said he likes the name.
Richard wanted to speak with Loki and Skylive in the elevator but instead of talking Skylive was eager to take revenge by killing her several times. Instead Richard saved her from Sky Live and reported her along with himself in their office.
Then Reichard invited Loki and Skylive to his office, let them sit down on the chair and provided them with drinks. Richard told them that he knows everything that is going to happen as he could see the script of the future and also told the history of his variants how the war has happened and universe warfare about Alitoh and told that why the timeline variance authority is created and also told that not all his variants are like him as some are like evil form of him.
He told Loki that it was his plan to bring them over here as he thinks that they are the best replacement for him. It was Richard who let them go to the Lametis and also to the void in order to see if they are capable of taking his place. As Richard is getting old and tired to guard over here and now wants some peace. He gave them the charge of the TVA and also the timeline. Richard gave them two chances, one to kill him and let the timeline expand into the multiverse to make their variants weak and last option was to Disciples the leader and ultimately get the control of the TVA but according to Skylive he thinks that Richard was lying to him.
As the thunder crackled above their head Richard knew what was going to happen in the future and the future timeline going toward Loki and Skylive. Richard also knows that now he no longer has the power of knowing the future. He thought that he would be honest about what will be going to happen with them whatever choice they made so he wanted to offer them the TemPad to use.
Both Loki and Sylvie started fighting each other as Loki was trying to stop Slyvie for taking the wrong option. Richard saw Sylvie kiss Loki and during that time Sylvie uses a TemPad to throw out Loki from the place using a timedoor. To which Richard was impressed with his presence of mind and instantly she threw his table and stabbed Richard on his chest. Before he was dying Richred smiled and told him that he would meet him again and before leaving his life with a smile his evil variant took over him and it was inevitable. Thus after Richard’s death the timeline expands massively and thus the multiverse gets fractured.
Legacy
So to prevent the consequences Loki quickly went into the TVa and tried to warn all the variants of what was coming. But it was late as Kang already took over everyone. Kang council is now able to control all the other remains. Loki and Mobius went to look for the other variant’s victory in the future timeline. Loki told Mobius and the people of the time will remain under danger instead of knowing the harsh reality but at first Mobius does not believe him.
Personality
Richard was a playful and unhinged personality and also a carefree being as he is the only one to survive from his variant after the multiverse war which led to the destruction of his variant. Kang was one of his variants who saw the other timeline and tried to capture and thus led to warfare. So to stop the war he uses his harness to kill everyone and according to him this decision was the honest and the most moral decision that he took for the universe and kept the timeline in a sacred box and kept it guarded by miss minus. Despite having greater power in him he always stayed humble and was not arrogant to show his power.
