Rickter is host to the dimensional being Gus who is sealed inside his body. They often argue and butt-heads over every little thing even when they have common goals.
After being abducted off the street by a cult Rickter found himself chained up at their shrine while they summon their 'god' into him. He finds that Gus is just as unwilling a participant of the cult as he is and they proceed to work together to break free from it.
Now on the run and looking for a way to send Gus home and free up Rickter's body. They've come to Void City.
With Gus on his side Rickter is able to use inhuman strength and lightening in fights. When cut deep enough feathers and sometimes wings will sprout from the wounds for a moment before sealing back up.
If under extreme stress Gus will sometimes take control of Rickter's body, puppeting it around clumsily.
Often times Rickter will use the name 'Bob' when he enters fights in a poor attempt to hide his identity.
Rickter is lazy but loves a good fight while Gus is high strung and more interested in books.
