**Richard Edward Milton** (also known as **Ricky Milton**) is a main character and a major antagonist of the "Raider: Last Blood" series.

Serving as the secondary antagonist of the 7th and 8th chapters, Richard is a former British SAS and USMC Marine Recon Operator and a mercenary who was hired by a governor to protect him and finance his re-election by illegal means necessary.

## Background

Born on June 17, 1996, in Birmingham, UK, Richard was born into a family of butchers. When his family was threatened by British gangsters, Richard was put into the Ray of Faith group home after he entered into the system and lived throughout various foster homes.

He first became interested in martial arts at the age of ten, when he visited a local Judo club with his father and older brother. After the age of 13, his interest in martial arts grew even more. That same year, he began to practice Taekwondo. Since the age of 16, Richard also started to practice Kickboxing with his older brother, eventually becoming good at it. He has also gained experience in Ninjutsu, Krav Maga, Karate, Wushu, Aikido, Jujutsu, MMA, Capoeira, and Gymnastics.

After the age of 18, Richard joined the British Army and after 3 years, he joined the British SAS and was in the 22nd SAS Regiment, molding him into one of the most formidable operators in the country. He was honorably discharged on August 5, 2022, and with the help of his relatives, Richard managed to get a green card and moved to the United States after 5 years. However, on February 19, 2027, Richard joined the United States Marine Corps and managed to join Force Recon. Due to his marksmanship and formidability, Walter Williamson (who rose through the ranks and became Deputy Director) admired him and offered him fortune after discharge, which Richard agreed.

Using resources given to him by Williamson, Milton and Garret Henderson (his mentor) founded their own private military company named Cerberus Corporation, recruiting former United States Military soldiers to become his own private army.

While at the newfound Cerberus Headquarters, Milton personally welcomed all the recruits who were looking to join the private military company. Giving a speech to the recruits, Milton explained in detail how the recruits were trained for the United States Military, the government had already invested thousands of dollars into every one of them, and therefore they were all investments that should be doing the best they could with what had now been provided to them.

Questioning how much money each of them was currently earning, Milton argued that the problem was not that they were unworthy of the investment, but that they all simply needed to get the work that they were suited for, noting Cerberus Corp would allow them to fight for a living, which he knew was the reason they had signed up to be soldiers in the first place. Milton promised all the men looking to join up with Cerberus Corp the chance to find not just a living wage suitable for them, but something to fight and live for, while also giving them a new brotherhood of soldiers who they could stand with.

For 20 years, Henderson and Milton had all of the recruits begin training, so he could examine their physical and mental state and judge if they were worthy candidates for joining Cerberus Corp's forces.

## Personality

In his first appearance, Milton comes off as a suave, charismatic, patriotic, and intelligent man with a pleasant demeanor. He was shown to be a good friend to Zachary Dumont, generously funding his support group, and seemed to be genuinely concerned for his enemy Jay Roberts and his allies. Due to his connections, Milton has managed to live a successful life, owning his PMC and partaking in a luxurious lifestyle.

Underneath this polite and charismatic facade, however, Milton is a cruel, manipulative, and greedy man, willing to do anything to pursue wealth and power. He kills and betrays numerous people with little to no remorse, and even admits that he never "got turned around" during his time in the US Marine Corps. Due to being born in a family of butchers and living a troubled childhood, Milton believes that deep down he is worthless, and thus is desperate to obtain money and status to validate his self-worth. He takes great pride in his handsome appearance, which fuels his arrogant attitude, to the point when after he sees his face horrifically mutilated by Jay, he accepts his fate and tries to convince Jay to kill him.

However, in the 8th chapter, Milton's personality drastically changes after his encounter with Jay, in which he sustained brain damage that resulted in losing the memory of his crimes. His inability to remember what happened during his hospitalization makes him deranged, aggravated, and desperate for answers. Despite all this, Milton shows that he still holds the same criminal values as before, immediately forming his own crew in which he robs and murders various people across Johnstontown, just to protect TY's rackets and finance his crew.

Despite his callous nature, Milton is not completely heartless. He was shown to have cared for Jay, despite being his enemy, and respected him for his abilities and determination. Even though he was primarily using her, Milton also somewhat cared for Katherine Ludlow, refusing to have sex with her when she was emotionally unstable and telling her a sensitive story about his childhood. He would later form a business partnership with Terrence Young, whom he respected dearly and was willing to even abandon his vendetta against Roberts just to focus on his task and protecting him.

However, his amnesia was faked by Milton himself and he reveals to Jay that he waited for 6 months to kill him since he regained his memories and he was clever enough to play dead and try to lower Jay's guard to kill him, but his arrogance and his pride quickly led Milton to his downfall as he grabs a backup weapon in retaliation for killing his employer, leading to his demise when Jay used Milton's pistol to kill him, dying as a prideful and greedy mercenary.
