He is the son of Ben Waters and the late Dawn Waters, the younger brother of Shawn Waters and Michelle Waters, the "twin" brother of James Riggs, the uncle of an unnamed niece, and the cousin of an unnamed girl, and the maternal nephew of Michael Smith, Bill Smith and his late unnamed aunt, the fiancé of the late Liz Goodman, the future husband of Iris West-Riggs, the future father of his future kids Nora Riggs and Martin Riggs, and the archenemy of Harley Thawne (commonly known as the **Reverse-Flash (II)**).

Riggs' father was arrested when he was 12 years old on October 12, 2001 and his father was arrest for molesting two children and he was wrongfully placed in jail. 3 years later, his mother was murdered, and when he and his siblings came home they found the body, and they were taken in by the kids' uncle, Mike Smith. Riggs then dedicated the rest of his life to prove his dad's innocence. Eventually, after a while, his uncle Bill Smith got out of prison and starting to live with his brother Mike. Bill when Mike would leave, he would beat the kids of his late sister, and Riggs was tired of it. Then later his best friend, John Cramer after hanging out with him with Molly Hendricks, they learned his uncle was beating him, and they left the house, but John stayed behind and saw his best friend, Riggs getting beat, so he grabbed his hunting rifle and shot his uncle in the back of the head. John Cramer was taken into custody and Riggs got his life straight and became a Navy SEAL years later.

Eventually, after three tours, Riggs ran into his fiancée, Liz Goodman in Texas, when he moved there when his mother died. He met Liz in a bar and he bought her a drink, and after they went Riggs' apartment in Texas, and from that moment forward that got together. Riggs then was brought to Liz's family holiday dinner's during Christmas, Riggs met her family, when she had gotten him to where a Christmas shirt. Then after, he went back home with Liz and became a detective in El Paso, and a couple of years later, at 24, he had gotten Liz pregnant, and she surprised him with a test during a Christmas holiday. He was happy and excited. Then during his final case as a detective in El Paso, his fiancée, Liz was in a car accident during her trip to the hospital to have the baby. Once, Riggs learned of her passing that's when he broke down and became more... violent and crazy.

Then, he was transferred to Los Angeles, California to work at the Los Angeles Police Department as a detective. He then is partnered with Detective Roger Murtaugh, and within three days of working with him, they had cost the city millions of dollars, as they caused an accident at the Grand Prix, a man getting hit by a bus, they were still partnered together even after they finished their first case. Then Riggs and Murtaugh worked together for over two years as Riggs became less crazy over the years, and Riggs got into a fight with his Uncle Bill when he was revealed not to be dead, and the father of Garrett Smith, and during Riggs and Roger's last case Bill took Trish Murtaugh to free Garrett, then when Bill tried to escape their grasps, Riggs killed his uncle by hitting him over the head with a rock. Riggs also rearrested his cousin Garrett as his final case with Roger, and he had a goodbye party at the Murtaugh Residence, and he left for Central City.

After being transferred to Central City, Missouri to work at the Central City Police Department as a detective. He is revealed to be a future speedster that created the his future time remnant **Savitar**, that plans to kill Iris West. Then Team Flash mistaken him Savitar and was later proven not to be since he isn't a meta-human. After his transformation into Savitar, he sought to ensure his existence by murdering Iris in order to drive Barry into the circumstances that led to his creation, since Riggs was a member of Team Flash then and helped to fight against Savitar. When battling his younger self he referred to himself as the **Future Flash**. Riggs then later became apart of the **Speed Force** and became a **God** when the Speed Force shared powers with him. However, this victory was short-lived; Barry was forced to enter and remain in the Speed Force indefinitely to save the world. As Riggs blamed himself for Barry entering the Speed Force.

After two years and six months, Team Flash got Barry Allen out of the Speed Force Prison, when someone threaten to destroy the city, by using a robot, after Barry stopped it, the team then had an encounter with a god-like being and her name is Nora. She revealed to be the daughter of Iris and Riggs, and said her name was **Nora Trish Waters**, but in reality, she is named **Nora Trish Riggs**, as Riggs needed to change his name. He wondered what would make him do that, but then James Waters/Savitar came in and said someone tried to kill him as they thought James was Riggs. Riggs, then learned when someone tried to run him and Iris off the road, and saw his brother, Shawn looking at him. Riggs had got into a fight with him and learned his brother was trying to kill him cause he killed their uncle, Bill. Riggs then told him to go join their uncle in Hell, and he killed his brother. John then had changed his name to **Johnathon Benjamin Riggs**, much like Nora had told him he would, so that his family wouldn't be targeted, or Iris either.
