'''Rickard''' (Japanese: {{hl|リカード|Rikādo}} ''Ricard'') is a young [[Archanea (continent)|Archanean]] thief, who holds a great admiration for [[Julian]] of the [[Soothsires]] and has a history of working for him, referring to him as his "'''Chief'''" (兄貴, ''aniki'', a Japanese honorific meaning "big brother" with the connotation of a crime boss). In the early days of the [[War of Shadows]], he met [[Lena]] and with her led a heist of [[Pales]], intending to steal from the captive palace to aid the struggling people of the city. By the time of [[Marth]]'s arrival in Dolhr, Rickard had been captured in [[Aurelis]] by the [[Macedon]] occupation forces and was imprisoned in the castle, to be freed by Julian. In the [[War of Heroes (Mystery of the Emblem)|War of Heroes]], he traveled to [[Grust]] in search of Julian, who had since retired from thievery, and joined him in Marth's forces.

In an attempt to break into and steal from the Macedon-occupied Aurelis Castle, Rickard had been captured and thrown in the castle's prison. When Marth and [[Hardin]]'s combined army arrived to drive out the Macedon occupation, Julian opened the cell to find him in there.

Rickard is one of two [[Thief|Thieves]] in ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', and with the exception of a 10% higher [[speed]] growth, he is statistically worse in every way from the other Thief, Julian. However, Thieves in this game are practically useless in combat regardless, as both of them are only able to use [[Iron Sword|Iron]], [[Steel Sword|Steel]], and [[Devil Sword]]s and have a 0% [[weapon level]] growth, in addition to abysmal bases, so their stats are for the most part only relevant in keeping them from dying on enemy phase. Unfortunately, thieves are not extremely useful in this game, since Marth can open [[chest]]s after [[Fire Emblem (Shadow Dragon chapter)|Chapter 6]], and [[Door Key]]s are fairly prevalent. However, on maps with several chests, doors, or closed bridges, sometimes deploying Thieves is useful for saving time, so Rickard can provide some utility despite being a fairly mediocre unit.

Rickard is the second and last Thief that joins. Like Julian, Rickard's primary job is to open chests and doors, and his low stats and E rank in swords mean that he should not be used for combat, despite his decent growths. His base stats are worse than Julian's in most areas, but since neither of them should see combat, the choice of thief is mostly aesthetic. From a purely practical standpoint, there is virtually no reason to deploy Rickard unless both thieves are needed. If Julian has died, Rickard is a fine replacement to open chests so that Marth can focus on moving towards the seize point.

As in {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, Rickard had travelled to Grust in the midst of [[Lang]]'s domination of the country, apparently searching for Julian and possibly preparing to raid Castle Olbern, Lang's headquarters. When he encountered Julian, he expressed his disappointment at Julian's retirement from thievery and that he had intended to work with Julian, and Julian convinced him to quit thievery and rejoin Marth's forces.

Rickerd is the second to last thief to join your army, just like in ''Shadow Dragon''. He also joins with worse bases and growths than Julian, who joined a few chapters earlier. However, since neither Rickard or Julian are good combat units, they mostly serve the same purpose, that is their thief utility. However, since Marth has the Fire Emblem which allows him to open chests and Julian being better overall, there isn't very much reason to ever deploy Rickard as not a single map in ''New Mystery'' demands more than one thief, if one at all. Rickard does have the advantage of not being needed to recruit Lena, so he can die without any significant repercussions, but if the player is going to save Lena they're likely also resetting any time a player unit dies already.

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|So, funny story: I decided to break in here and clean the place out—and then I got caught. Hilarious, right? Comedy gold.|Rickard, to Julian}}

Rickard (Japanese: {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|リカード|Rikādo}} Ricard) is a young Archanean thief, who holds a great admiration for Julian of the Soothsires and has a history of working for him, referring to him as his "Chief" (兄貴, aniki, a Japanese honorific meaning "big brother" with the connotation of a crime boss). In the early days of the War of Shadows, he met Lena and with her led a heist of Pales, intending to steal from the captive palace to aid the struggling people of the city. By the time of Marth's arrival in Dolhr, Rickard had been captured in Aurelis by the Macedon occupation forces and was imprisoned in the castle, to be freed by Julian. In the War of Heroes, he traveled to Grust in search of Julian, who had since retired from thievery, and joined him in Marth's forces.

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}}

Role

In an attempt to break into and steal from the Macedon-occupied Aurelis Castle, Rickard had been captured and thrown in the castle's prison. When Marth and Hardin's combined army arrived to drive out the Macedon occupation, Julian opened the cell to find him in there. Rickard teased him about his claims that he's sided with "justice", attributing it to his weakness for attractive women, and in response Julian "forced" Rickard to join him in working for Marth.

Analysis

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}} Rickard is one of two Thieves in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, and with the exception of a 10% higher speed growth, he is statistically worse in every way from the other Thief, Julian. However, Thieves in this game are practically useless in combat regardless, as both of them are only able to use Iron, Steel, and Devil Swords and have a 0% weapon level growth, in addition to abysmal bases, so their stats are for the most part only relevant in keeping them from dying on enemy phase. Unfortunately, thieves are not extremely useful in this game, since Marth can open chests after Chapter 6, and Door Keys are fairly prevalent. However, on maps with several chests, doors, or closed bridges, sometimes deploying Thieves is useful for saving time, so Rickard can provide some utility despite being a fairly mediocre unit.

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}}

Book 1

Role

As in {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light}}, in an attempt to break into and steal from the Macedon-occupied Aurelis Castle, Rickard had been captured and thrown in the castle's prison with Wendell. When Marth and Hardin's combined army arrived to drive out the Macedon occupation, Julian opened the cell to find him in there. Rickard teased him about his claims that he's sided with "justice", attributing it to his weakness for attractive women, and in response Julian "forced" Rickard to join him in working for Marth.

Book 2

Role

Rickard had travelled to Grust in the midst of Lang's domination of the country, apparently searching for Julian and possibly preparing to raid Castle Olbern, Lang's headquarters. When he encountered Julian, he expressed his disappointment at Julian's retirement from thievery and that he had intended to work with Julian, and Julian convinced him to quit thievery and rejoin Marth's forces.

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}}

Role

Rickard meets Lena in Pales

Visiting Pales, Rickard met Lena and, upon seeing the palace itself for the first time, decided to break into it and steal its treasure to be given to the struggling poor of the Archanean capital. He suggested that they split up and try to recruit "bodyguards" for the task, and he found and recruited Castor, whom he found lying dehydrated in the street. During the planning for the heist, he came into conflict with Navarre, who remained suspicious of the nobility of his intentions.

During the heist, he was surprised to find that another group of thieves led by Vaam was also attempting to rob from Pales and talked to Dice and Malice, two mercenaries hired by the other group, convincing them to join his more noble band for 1000 gold. Eventually the heist was interrupted by the arrival of Camus, the warden of Pales under the Dolhr/Grust occupation, but Nyna convinced Camus to let the group go free.

Role

In an attempt to break into and steal from the Macedon-occupied Aurelis Castle, Rickard had been captured and thrown in the castle's prison. When Marth and Hardin's combined army arrived to drive out the Macedon occupation, Julian opened the cell to find him in there.

Analysis

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}} Rickard is the second and last Thief that joins. Like Julian, Rickard's primary job is to open chests and doors, and his low stats and E rank in swords mean that he should not be used for combat, despite his decent growths. His base stats are worse than Julian's in most areas, but since neither of them should see combat, the choice of thief is mostly aesthetic. From a purely practical standpoint, there is virtually no reason to deploy Rickard unless both thieves are needed. If Julian has died, Rickard is a fine replacement to open chests so that Marth can focus on moving towards the seize point.

Role

As in {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|Mystery of the Emblem}}, Rickard had travelled to Grust in the midst of Lang's domination of the country, apparently searching for Julian and possibly preparing to raid Castle Olbern, Lang's headquarters. When he encountered Julian, he expressed his disappointment at Julian's retirement from thievery and that he had intended to work with Julian, and Julian convinced him to quit thievery and rejoin Marth's forces.

Analysis

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}} Rickerd is the second to last thief to join your army, just like in Shadow Dragon. He also joins with worse bases and growths than Julian, who joined a few chapters earlier. However, since neither Rickard or Julian are good combat units, they mostly serve the same purpose, that is their thief utility. However, since Marth has the Fire Emblem which allows him to open chests and Julian being better overall, there isn't very much reason to ever deploy Rickard as not a single map in New Mystery demands more than one thief, if one at all. Rickard does have the advantage of not being needed to recruit Lena, so he can die without any significant repercussions, but if the player is going to save Lena they're likely also resetting any time a player unit dies already.

Role

Rickard was first added to the game in a special masked-thief variation as part of the Risk and Reward update, and was made available to players in the fifty-seventh edition of the Tempest Trials+, "Life & Death 2", which initially ran from August 9, 2022 through August 19, 2022. The aforementioned masked-thief variation of Rickard is the only one currently available in Heroes, based on his Mystery of the Emblem incarnation.
