## Biography

### Background

Richard Remington was the second of three siblings that were born from the family Remington and the only one that didn't get married. This makes him brother of Flora Fellow and Poppy's mother (Primrose Remington).

At some point of his history, Richard began a project along with some members from the original families seen in Tangle Tower known as the "Mystid Mansion". He soon left Mystid Mansion to be an "Ambassador" and hunted down the Mystids who may have escaped Mystid Mansion, he possibly also took some of the belongings that used to be part of Mystid Mansion.

He became a hunter in a secret society to hunt down Mystids, particularly Boggy. He and his hunters went to the swamp hunt down the creature but to no avail. He met Lady Weybridge who lived in the swamp and was gifted with a piece of cloth which he uses as a curtain. He soon set up a tourist attraction in order to stay in the swamp so he can hunt Boggy easier.

He spent a lot of years staying in the swamp to find Boggy. Before the murder, he was promised of the share of the film profit Vincent Van Der Peer plan to make. 2 weeks before the murder, he received a letter from a F.F. (presumably Felix Fellow as Richard address as dear Fellow, implying not too close unlike his sister Flora) about the golden beetle that Pointer received anonymously. He did some research and reply 2 weeks later that he seem close to find Boggy. However, he soon murdered by Echo in disguise of Boggy in the process.

### Secret of the Swamp

Richard Remington is the unfortunate murder victim of **The Secret of the Swamp**. He was the founder and owner of the tourist attraction "Boggy's Bog", a rather strange business, as the swamp is a very dreary place to most people. As it turns out, the attraction is a front. He originally came to the swamp to hunt a creature known as Boggy, but when hunting in the swamp became illegal he had to find a legal excuse for being in the swamp.

Upon initial investigation all the clues seem to point towards Boggy being the killer. Detective Grimoire is skeptical of this as he doesn't believe Boggy to be real, as the creature hasn't been seen in sixty years, if ever. Boggy is indeed innocent, but real. Instead Remington was killed accidentally by an environmentalist named Echo Everstone, who wanted to convince Remington to close Boggy's Bog so Boggy could live in peace.

## Appearance

The appearance of Richard changes in the two games, most likely due to the change in the art style direction. Richard isn't seen in person during the events of Secret of the Swamp, though a picture shows him wearing a green military-like jacket with yellow buttons, a yellow-buckled black belt, and a white shirt adorned by a long, black tie. In addition, he wore a pair of black pants, black gloves, and a yellow and orange striped hat. He is also seen using a cane, likely due to his old age. Richard's most noticeable characteristic, however, is probably his long, dark blue mustache.

In Tangle Tower, Richard looks quite similar to his appearance in Secret of the Swamp, except he isn't wearing his belt and doesn't have a cane. His hat is also beige and his nose seems to be smaller. Lastly, his hair is now grey rather than dark blue, despite being presumably younger.

## Personality

Because Richard is not alive in either of his appearances, not much is known about his demeanor.

Judging from the group photo in Secret of the Swamp, it seems he was quite paranoid and obsessed with Boggy in his later years. His obsessions with the creature was his hunting party's main quarry, and ultimately lead him to create the tourist attraction: Boggy's Bog.

His relation with the Mystid Mansion founders (unearthed in Tangle Tower) might imply that Richard also had connections with Penny Pointer.
