Personality (at least four sentences):
Richard has always had a hunger to learn and was named "Seeker of Truth" by his grandfather, Zedd the First Wizard. He always insists on knowing the truth of things. He does not fear the truth, nor, in spite of his title, does he always tell the truth. His earliest skills were an intimate knowledge of plants and herbalism as well as tracking, carving, and archery. Richard was born with the ability to ask questions that fill people's minds with pictures that make them answer, even when they had no intention to do so and even when this is not Richard's intention. Richard sometimes thinks of it as a curse. Zedd is like a second father to him. Richard has never wanted power and prefers to be left alone.
Despite being a Seeker of Truth, Richard has always hated riddles, such as those inherent in most prophecies. He considers them an insult to honesty and ignores them as a matter of principle. He solves riddles of life, not words, although he has often had to solve those as well, despite his reluctance.
History (at least four sentences):
Richard Rahl (first named Richard Cypher) was born in a town named Brennidon in the Midlands but raised in the town of Hartland in Westland. As a young man, Richard rarely got into trouble. Because his mother died as a result of anger, Richard never allowed himself to lose his temper, and could usually turn scowls to smiles with his easy manner. If talk failed, he was quick enough and strong enough to stop threats before anyone was hurt, and if need be would simply walk away. Once he became the Seeker of Truth, he learned to channel his rage using the Sword of Truth, given to him by the wizard Zedd, who is later revealed to be his grandfather. The Sword of Truth channels Richard's anger into great strength and power, but he can only use the blade to harm those he believes to be truly evil. He also learns to channel forgiveness into the Sword. When he does, he can kill anyone, innocent or not - he hates that fact more than anything. This enabled Richard to kill Denna, a Mord'Sith, who tortured him.
