Richard
Maximillion's second Knight and a Child Genius, able to crush an enemy by predicting their every move, he is so smart that he can outhink even Lelouch Vi Britannia, he has an odd Geass Ability that makes advanced systems useless against him and allows him to take over the mind of a person. Richard's style of combat is well trained in a Knightmare Frame and so long as he's at a Command Station all plans usually go as expected, he is considered the Lion of Britannia due to his constant relentless and powerful assualts upon his enemies in both Strategy and Hand-to-Hand Combat.

Conversation between Richard Leo and Trey Mactíre Nathdrack[]
Trey: "Are you sure that things are better this way?" (asking about Alex getting kicked out of the Royal Family and Lelouch's returning Memories)
Richard: "I never expected you to question it, if you could 'save' one of them...why would you choose the puppet?" (asking about choosing Alex to be spared, essentially Maximillion's unknowing puppet to actually make the EU fight harder than expected and for the Emperor to allow Max to use the Slash and Burn Strategy)
Richard: "Or put it this way...which would you rather suffer the loss of: some make-believe friendship, or a real one?"
Richard: "Things are finally right again. Of course we're better off this way, Max is exasperated with all the 'fixing' we've had to do. We have to set things right, their is too much on the line, Trey..."
Trey: "..." (nods and walks off)
