Sir Richard

A knight of Nimmr who watches Tarzan's savage battlefield brilliance with an awe he can barely square with his own code.

Also known as Richard, IX Sir Richard

First appearance: Sir Richard

As a supporting figure in Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, Sir Richard is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.

Sir Richard escorts Blake to the castle, vouches for him to Prince Gobred, and later acts as Keeper of the Gate, questioning Blake about his origins.

Sir Richard rides among the armored warriors whose feuds and tourneys define the hidden valley, a man of honor measuring himself against a stranger who fights like no knight he has ever seen. He questions the ethics of Tarzan's methods even as he cannot deny their magnificence, and that tension between admiration and propriety colors his judgment of the ape-man. His presence anchors the Nimmr chapters in genuine chivalric feeling rather than mere spectacle.
