Riko

Riko is a hozen quest giver that takes part in multiple Horde quests in the Jade Forest.
==Background==
===Mists of Pandaria===
Riko has yet to earn his 'name name' among the hozen of Grookin Hill and is volunteered by Chief Kah Kah to act as a guide to the Horde scouting party. When Sergeant Gorrok is attacked by the Jade Witch, Riko flees with Shokia and Kiryn. Riko soon develops romantic feelings for Kiryn, and when she is trapped by the jinyu, defies Shokia's orders in order to save Kiryn's life. When Riko frees Kiryn from the jinyu nets, he requests a kiss as a reward for his actions. Kiryn agrees to grant this reward, but when she removes her mask, Riko is shocked and confused by her ravaged, undead face, and flees, leaving Shokia and Kiryn without a guide. However, when Kiryn finds herself again trapped and at the mercy of an overwhelming number of attackers (during the attack on Pearlfin Village), Riko appears from nowhere to save her once again, declaring that he doesn't care about her "weird dead face". The group then returned to the hill and reported what had happened. After the Horde trained the hozen into an army, Riko was briefly seen in Murky Bank with Grookin Grenadiers and Grookin Gatherers.
====Escalation====
Riko joined Garrosh's army and traveled to Durotar, where he oversaw the docks in Bladefist Bay.
====Siege of Orgrimmar====
Riko took part in the Siege of Orgrimmar, fighting for the rebels. After battling their way into Garrosh's inner sanctum, Riko, along with other members of the Horde (including the other members of Nazgrim's party), held off waves of Kor'kron for the adventurers. In return, he asked that he be allowed to take credit for killing Garrosh Hellscream in order to impress Kiryn.
He can also be seen in the Celestial Court on the Timeless Isle as well as during the Celestial Tournament standing with Rivett Clutchpop.
===Dragonflight===
He can be found at the Serene Dreams Spa in Thaldraszus. He participates in the You-ga lesson with Fleur Starling and You-ga Students.
