Richard Radcliffe

Richard Radcliffe was the younger son of Edward Radcliffe. Unlike his brother Henry, Richard quickly saw the possibilities of settling the newly discovered continent of Atlantis immediately. Like his brother, Richard Radcliffe did much to expand human settlement into Atlantis.

Richard was not the sailor his father and brother were. Nontheless, he dutifully served aboard his father's ship, the St. George. Richard and his father met François Kersauzon in Le Croisic in 1452. Despite Richard's best efforts, Edward agreed to give Kersauzon one-third of his catch in exchange for the location of a new land. Upon their arrival, Richard admitted that his father had made a good bargain. Richard also saw his father's logic in moving people to Atlantis.

After the colony of New Hastings was established, Richard was increasingly drawn into the unexplored woods and mountains of the continent. Even the rudimentary civilization of New Hastings grew stifling for him.
