Ritchie Simpson (Constantine)

## Summary

**Richard 'Ritchie' Simpson** is a former member of Constantine's group, **Newcastle Crew**, and a Professor of Metaphysics at Ivo University. After the tragedy with **Astra Logue** in Newcastle, he moved away from the mystical world and from John, for whom he harbored a certain anger. Afterwards he occasionally appears to help John defeat **Frucifer**, a demon that was chasing **Liv Aberdine**, and returns again several episodes later after John appears at Ivo University, both team up to fight **Jacob Shaw**, a former wizard who is hunting four students. After the events of his second appearance, Ritchie overcomes his traumas towards John, although they do not resume their friendship.

## Mentality

**Personality**: Ritchie was very dedicated to his studies, keen and highly intelligent. He is generally anxious, and has maintained a bitter resentment towards John Constantine after his failure in Newcastle. After the events with Jacob Shaw, he returned to his original curious and affectionate personality, leaving behind his fears, hurts and resentments.

**Intelligence: High** to **Advanced Genius** (Primarily, his intelligence is remarkable only for his training, since he is a University Professor and is a respectable hacker, even able to turn off the light of a city with just his computer; He was able to understand the advanced magic behind the artificial kingdoms created by Shaw, in a better way than himself)

## Arsenal

#### **Standart Equipament:**

* **Jacob Shaw's Diary**: A diary where Jacob wrote his studies and research, it was thanks to his study of this free and his abnormal intellectual capacity that Ritchie was able to learn the secrets of his spells and even overcome Shaw's mastery over them.

#### **Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Egyptian Temple of Dreams**: A magical technique that allows the user to create a parallel kingdom under his control and within his rules, where he could change reality, create things out of nothing, trap souls and become immortal, this technique was created by Jacob Shaw after years of study about Egyptian Magic. It is worth remembering that the user can also drag whoever he wants into his artificial dimension, leaving the victim to his grocery, something that Shaw did to four students at Ivo University.
