Richard is the Han Solo of LFG. Everyone else reacts to him. Everyone else around him is dependent on his good will. If he were utterly evil, they'd all be dead. But he is BORED and evil (and Cale for some reason entertains him, so...) *grins*
If Richard were removed, LFG would lose a leg and not be able to stand upright. LFG would become your standard, run-of-the-mill, D&D-esque adventure story. Richard takes it to a completely OTHER plane and makes it consistently cock-eyed and hilarious. LFG would NOT succeed half-so-well without him, and the authors know it.
Cale may be the "lead" character, but Richard runs the universe. He is "IT".

If Richard is Han Solo then who's the Lando?
