Richard, aka Savant is a recon mercenary who does not do well in hand-to-hand or gun-to-gun combat, rather focused on scavenging for resources for himself and his team. He also has a son who left him after his wife died. His son went on to also become a mercenary, going by the codename of 'Initiator.' His son largely dislikes him for reasons that are unclear. His head was replaced with a robot one, due to injuries in his line of mercenary work. His wife's name was Margaret.
