Kain: Tetsuya's soul trap would have consumed you had we not had our one night stand. Your soul... so much hatred.... so much pain, such lust for vengeance.... such lust period. It was simply irresistible.

Richter: What does it matter? I'm dead....

Kain: Well... what if I told you I could send you back to finish what you started?

Richter: .... I'm listening......

Kain: You become my personal hitman... and I'll make you a demigod. You'll be stronger, faster, more powerful than you can imagine!

Richter: So I become the Johnny Blaze to your Mephisto?

Kain: Yes.

Richter: The Al Simmons to your Malbolgia?

Kain: That is correct.

Richter: ..... Sounds like fun. >B3

Kain: Hold still.... This may sting a bit.


This is essentially how Richter took on the form you all know today. After losing his life at the hands of Tetsuya, the devil himself gave him an offer he couldn't refuse.
