Richard Lumley

Richard Lumley is a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who was on the five person team that found and saved the infant Skye from her village's destruction during the Massacre in Hunan. Over two decades later, Lumley was tracked down in Mexico City by Phil Coulson and Melinda May, and used as a consultant for information about the massacre and Skye's enigmatic past.
==Biography==
===On The Run===
Lumley was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who worked for the organization during the late 1980s. Partnered with Linda Avery, Lumley was sent into a rural Chinese village in Hunan Province to investigate an 0-8-4 after the initial response team failed to communicate. Once there, Lumley's team found that the entire village and the first S.H.I.E.L.D. team had been killed, and the lone survivor, the 0-8-4, an infant girl, was lying in the arms of one of the S.H.I.E.L.D agents.
Lumley and his team returned to the United States, with orders to turn the infant over to S.H.I.E.L.D.. When the team started to be killed off, Avery decided to disobey orders. Fearing for the child's safety, Avery created a new identity for herself and delivered Skye to the Saint Agnes Orphanage. Soon after, Avery herself was murdered by an unknown individual and Lumley then fled the country to avoid a fate similar to the rest of his team.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 1.12: Seeds
===Located by Coulson and May===
When Phil Coulson and Melinda May followed up investigations into Skye's past, they tracked Lumley to Mexico City, where they chased him. Lumley briefly fought with May before he tried to take his cyanide capsule, although he was thwarted. As Coulson drove up in L.O.L.A., Lumley began climbing the fire escape, but Coulson switched L.O.L.A. to flight mode and identified himself as S.H.I.E.L.D., to Lumley's relief.
Lumley then accompanied the two agents back to the Bus, where he told them about the mission in China and the subsequent deaths of his partner and three teammates. Lumley warned the agents to stay away from the girl Skye, insisting that death surely surrounded her. Instead of turning Lumley over to S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson respected Lumley's wishes to leave the organization and relocated him.
