Richter

This article is about the Deathwatch Space Marine. For other uses of Richter, see Richter (disambiguation). |
Before joining the Deathwatch, Richter was a member of the Black Templars charged with training a group of Neophytes.[1]
He was forced to take them into battle before he believed them ready, where they were massacred. Richter has blamed himself ever since and joined the Deathwatch in the hope that one day he would regain his honour for their loss and be able to rejoin his chapter. Having only recently joined the ranks in Watch Fortress Erioch he seems taciturn and unremarkable, but his expertise with boltgun and chainsword mark him as a past master in their deadly arts. To those with a practiced eye, he is clearly Sword Brethren material even though he wears no honours on his armour and seeks no recognition of his prowess. The loss of the Neophytes still causes spiritual turmoil in Richter, his set jaw and distant gaze speak of a soul deeply troubled.[1]
