Rider López

===Who is Rider?===
Rider is a former scuba diver who used to work with and was married to Fari Elfinesh. Fari died before him and now that Rider has died, he's determined to make Fari remember him.
===Backstory===
Before his death, Rider was a diver who was married to a fellow diver called Fari . However, on one dive, Fari had become stuck underwater and Rider left to find help. When Rider had gone to the surface, he found out that the others had assumed the two where dead and had no interest in helping Fari, even knocking Rider out and taking him away from the area after his "hysterical" reaction to this information and them preventing him from going back down. Fari eventually ran out of oxygen and drowned. 
Rider was traumatised by the death of his husband and never recovered. He spent the rest of his life not only morning the loss but also fearing the water he once loved. 
When Rider arrives in the Overworld, he looks around for Fari, only to not find him. After days of searching, he chooses to take a break at a nearby café, assuming the big crowd there is because of the café being popular. Instead, he's shocked to find Fari breaking up a fight between Thomas and Sami. He asks the person next to him what's going on and they tell him that "those two", referring to Fari and Thomas, are Malux and usually live "downstairs" in the Underworld.
He finds out how to go to the Underworld and Azzie, seeing him, quickly asking him why he's down here. Rider explains himself and Azzie tells him about the culture out Malux and Luxma and why they don't appreciate being around the other. Rider begs him to tell him how to become a Malux and Azzie takes him to Thomas, since he feels that the reason why he's a Malux is something he doesn't want to encourage.
Thomas, although reluctant at first, is more than happy to help after hearing why he's doing this. He tells Rider that the easiest way to become a malux is stalking someone, which is good for Rider because he could stalk Fari, who's too naïve to find it creepy. He does this but it ends up redundant since while doing this, Fari got attacked and killed the person. Rider became a malux because he saw Fari kill someone and it didn't faze him, still wanting to be with him.
Fari noticed him and apologized for making him witness that and explained that the guy had attacked him multiple times before and that he'd been a wanted man for a while. The conversation was slowly making Rider realise that Fari didn't remember him. Due to just how traumatic Fari's death was, he got his memory wiped of it, unfortunately losing the memory of his partner with it. Of course, Rider is upset to hear this once he reunites with him, but it doesn't matter to him, just being able to spend time with him again is all he could have ever wanted.
