### Type of Redeemed Villain

Remorseful Scientist

**Richard "Rick" D. Sanchez**, also known by the moniker **Rick C-137**, is the main protagonist of the adult animated series *Rick & Morty*. He's a nihilistic scientist who spent years of his life hunting down an alternate universe version of himself named Rick Prime, who was responsible for the deaths of his wife and daughter.

After years of massacring innumerable versions of himself, Rick failed to track down and kill Rick Prime, so he abandoned his mission and settled down in dimension C-137, the original dimension of Rick Prime, and pretended to be him in his absence. He eventually developed an emotional bond with this universe's Morty Smith, the grandson of Rick Prime's daughter. Together, the two would go on various dangerous adventures.

With Morty Prime and Evil Morty's help, Rick finally located Rick Prime and exacted his revenge by brutally killing him. However, he would later regret this, as Rick Prime's death couldn't fill the void that still remained in his heart.

He was voiced by co-creator Justin Roiland up until Season 7. From then on, he's voiced by Ian Cardoni.

## Personality

Rick's personality is very complex, mostly due to his tragic past. He's had serious trauma, losing both his wife and daughter, and although he's tried to move on by relocating to another reality, their deaths still haunt him. He copes with his depression by abusing drugs and acting recklessly. He's also notoriously unlikable, due to being selfish, violent, and cold, especially when he's drunk. Despite this, he does genuinely care about his family and old friends, even if he doesn't show it well.

He's anti-authoritarian and has a blurred view of right and wrong. Rick's also atheist (despite fighting an actual god and knowing Gods exist) and a nihilist who views life as meaningless. Despite this, he does have moments of happiness (albeit fleeting) and loves his friends and family, despite claiming otherwise. His behavior negatively impacts his family a lot of the time and each of his relatives feel differently about him, with Beth idolizing him, Jerry (initially) disliking him, and Morty and Summer having on and off relationships with him.

## Reason for Redemption

After being forced to reveal his past to Morty, he realized that the way he had been acting wasn't his true authentic self, but rather an imitation of Rick Prime: someone who doesn't care about anybody but himself. He had to reflect on this revelation and came to the conclusion that he does actually love his family and wants to change to be a better person so he can better confront and solve his problems, including properly grieving the loss of his wife and daughter, and fixing his unstable, toxic relationships, in addition to getting therapy.
