Richard Silverglass

Richard is one of the alters of the Silverglass system, sharing a body with Benny, Troy, and Fraction.
The Silverglasses have Dissociative Identity Disorder. Richard is the alter who has kept their birth name, and is the closest to being "the original". He is an anxious and melancholic man, constantly stressing about how the group should proceed and survive. He is somewhat considered the leader of the alters, and the others frequently consult with him about what to do.
Richard has an artistic side to him, and is excellent at playing the piano. 
=== Description ===
The Silverglasses have the body of a Havenite man, with straw-coloured hair, a stubbly beard, and blue eyes. They are fairly tall and well-built.
=== Background ===
Born to a middle-class family in Lothair, in the Haven Dominion, Richard's mother and father wanted to ensure their child became brilliant at magic, and started teaching him at 3 years old, which is far earlier than advised. Most children do not start learning until 8 - 10, due to the complex theories involved, and the cognitive strain it places on those trying to learn. They also hired particularly strict tutors, who were mentally and physically abusive to young Richard.
The abuse and mental strain was too much for Richard, which led to the emergence of the first alter; Fraction. Fraction would sit through the lessons and learn what was necessary, allowing Richard to dissociate and avoid the pain and stress of it all. Richard continued to be the polite and proper young gentleman that his family expected him to be, and happily did piano lessons, but he did not actually learn any magic, as that was Fraction's role.
