Ricardo is a Big Brother of The Middle and an antagonist in Canto V: The Evil Defining.

Appearance

Ricardo is a tall man with a muscular build, with red eyes usually hidden behind his black tinted sunglasses. His hair is hot pink and combed back, with multiple intricate tattoos on his torso and face, which glow purple when using his power as a Big Brother. He wears a superfluous amount of shiny golden chains around his neck, arms, and shins. He wears a large purple fur lined coat around his shoulders with a leopard pattern, along with white dress pants with purple leopard-patterned dress shoes. His belt is adorned with gold along with the logo of the Middle in the center, with a golden chain holding a bulky copy of the Book of Vengeance.

Personality

Ricardo is an extremely confident and imperious man, especially in combat, who is self-assured in his abilities with his imposing title to the Sinners as a Big Brother of the Middle. He refers to the world as binary, a part where one is luscious and one is bristly, similar to the texture of hair. Ironically, Ricardo is incredibly protective and almost obsessive about the quality and shape of his hair, with the Book of Vengeance even stating that the 'sin' of stealing hair salon coupons results in complete extermination of said 'sinner' and their other affiliates.

Ricardo is also quick to point out any 'sins' an individual has committed, as shown when Ricardo appoints Heathcliff's sin in the Book of Vengeance for lack of respect for varying tastes when Heathcliff addresses the colorful kitty stickers on his personal safe. Ricardo seems to speak in a rather archaic and foreboding tone when addressing a 'sin' within the Book of Vengeance.

Story

Ricardo was an individual who worked with the Middle for years before being granted the title as a Big Brother. During Canto V shortly after Pilot's appearance, Ricardo is first shown as a silhouette in a flashback dictated by Pilot interjecting the LCCB's mission of finding the Golden Bough within the Branch. With the Pallid Whale approaching the Branch, Ricardo and the other assailants left the Branch quickly.

Ricardo is then seen in person by the Sinners after Rim's disappearence within the branch in the center of a massive ship with purple sails, followed by smaller ships of the Twinkhook Pirates. After Ricardo's descent toward the Sinners, he accuses Heathcliff for stealing his beloved Stingray Portship luxury hair salon coupons, which he kept in a safe at Marlin Portship.

Following the punishment stated within the Book of Vengeance, Ricardo makes quick work of the Sinners, with Dante stating him as "overwhelmingly powerful". After Ricardo had humiliated Ishmael again and again through various beatings, both Ricardo and Dante saw The Indigo Elder approach, with Ricardo in stunned silence. The Indigo Elder then makes Ricardo and other members of the Middle leave the area, impaling Ricardo's shoulder with his harpoon as a persuasion measure. Ricardo leaves stating that the Middle will not forget this insult, but not after The Indigo Elder tears off his shoulder by retrieving the harpoon lodged in it.
