Riccardo Belli



Riccardo is the castle's self-important grounds-keeper. A monk-like figure, he initially claims to be a great alchemist and master of Belli Castle, when in actuality, he is a servant. He takes orders from Lorenzo Belli. Since Lorenzo cannot walk around Belli Castle ordering everyone around since he is confined to his wheelchair, he makes Riccardo do it for him. He is seen ordering commands to Debilitas, and when interacting with Daniella, repeatedly slaps her across her face in frustration. He is also abusive towards Hewie, and had tied him to a tree trunk with a thick wire, which explains why Hewie fears him.

Riccardo desires Fiona's Azoth because he needs it to be reborn for his immortality, and frequently shouts "Let me into your womb!" at her. In Chaos Forest, Riccardo reveals to Fiona that he and Ugo Belli, Fiona's father, are clones of Lorenzo, although only Ugo received the Azoth. Riccardo failed in getting the Azoth from Ugo, but realized that his daughter had the Azoth from her father's traits.

Riccardo is finally defeated following a battle on top of the Water Tower with Fiona, being knocked off the side by Hewie and falling to his death. In Hard Mode however, there is an extra scene to see. It shows Lorenzo sucking out Riccardo's Azoth and making his eyes go white.
