Rikard, a Filordus with sensitivity to the Force, possessed no defined gender, a characteristic shared by all Filordi. During his youthful years at the close of the Galactic Republic era, Rikard resided in Efellis on the planet Caarimon, earning a living as a messenger. When the heroes of Cularin investigated a scheme to unleash a virus upon Caarimon, they crossed paths with the young Filordus. Following the heroes' successful prevention of the plot, Rikard was present at a celebration hosted by the Metatheran Cartel on the moon Dorumaa within the Cularin system, an event organized to express gratitude.
Belly of the Beaast marked Rikard's initial appearance. The character encounter notes included the pronouns he/him, but also cautioned players to "remember that Filordi are not gendered, and any gendered pronouns that we use are simply for convenience." Therefore, this article refrains from regarding he/him as the character's actual pronouns in-universe.
