Short Personality description; Richard has a very calm demenor, almost nothing shocks him. Worry is something that is alien to Richard, however, curiousity can be mistaken for worry. Richard is a keeper of secrets, both for the Island and himself, and is willing to keep those secrets by whatever means nessesary.
Richard also is very smart, having gained knowledge over the years. He can seem very kind and sympahetic, however, under all of that, is a cold and calculated rage that few live to see.
Any Interesting History?;Richard has been seen by many people, in many different times. The earliest he has been seen is in the 1950's, looking the same age. In London, England at the turn of the century, there is a record of a Richard Alpert living in London. Near the first World War, the records move to New York City, and then as the Second World War was brewing, records place him anywhere from Nazi Germany to Russia. Currently, Richard Alpert is employeed at Middelos Bioscience where he recruited Juliet Burke for her expertise on The Island. He is able to travel to and from the Island at will, and has been both on the Island and off the Island to John Locke and Juliet Burke.
Richard is also one of the 'Hostiles', their former Leader and spokesperson, until Benjamin Linus stepped in. He questions Ben when he first meets him if he knows exactly what a Hostile is, and later, was a major part of the Purge of the DHARMA people. Ben is one of the few people who know (or question) Richard's true age. No one in the Others Camp is allowed to bring mention to it.
Anything else we should know?;
Four Sample Paragraph AS that character;; Richard hadn't even been seen when he had entered Locke's apartment. Years on the island had taught him well, and he had silently made his way upstairs without Locke batting an eye. No, this wouldn't do, Richard thought silently. This wouldn't do at all. Locke was special, Jacob had plans for Locke and yet, the man was sitting in the middle of the kitchen, confined to a wheelchair once again. Like a useless abandoned dog.
However, the sound of Locke's voice broke Richard from his thoughts, and he made his way to the small set of stairs once more. Locke's body came into view, and Richard tilted his head merely slightly at the man. Now...he didn't look as special. He didn't look as important. He looked simply like another cripple that would die a sad, lonely life.
"Hello, John."
Richard wasn't sure John remembered him. Sure, from the Island, probably, but when Richard had met him on the Island, Locke had no recollection of Richard. No spark of a memory. Nothing.
Perhaps he wasn't the oldest one in the room after all. Of course, Richard silently thought about children and their selective memories. Perhaps John had simply put it out of his mind? Perhaps he had simply been a young child who hadn't cared? Either way, John didn't seem to remember. Which held a slight advantage to Richard, because he didn't feel in the mood to explain why he looked exactly the same. Or lie, at least about that, anyway.
Focusing back on the task at hand, Richard watched Locke, moving down to the last stair. The look on Locke's face, Richard wasn't sure if it was surprise, or annoyance, or a combination, but it made Richard's lips twist up in a slight smile. "You seem surprised that I'm here, John."
Of course he was surprised. If Richard had been in his shoes, he would have been surprised as well. However, Locke didn't know...didn't know about the Island's true abilities, but was intriqued that he was willing to catch on.
