But upon meeting Stella and her family, and raising one of his own, his once rugged attitude has mellowed considerably with age.
As a well-respected warrior of rank, Riegho presents himself as very serious, and at times even intimidating. However, he will drop this front and be more approachable and agreeable with those he’s familiar with. He is a leader at heart, willing to mentor and lend advice to his students and colleagues. Riegho has little tolerance for blatant disrespect, and will react fiercely to threats towards him or to anyone he feels the need to protect.

Riegho grew up under formal military training, and went back to complete senior training after a hiatus in mid adulthood. Slowly he rose in ranks and proved his worth to become the captain of his own local militia [in Serolsta]. In times of peace he manages a training ground and even offers one on one training lessons to aspiring warriors.
- Riegho’s work keeps mostly to his region of Serolsta, but he is occasionally requested to deploy to other regions within the country and near the border, for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
- Riegho has a number of facial and body scars from training and getting into fights as a teen and young adult.
- Often speaks with a thick “Australian” accent (or the equivalent sound quality in Noviera), that is even heavier than his son’s.
- Riegho has a soft spot for children; he’s more likely to drop his serious front around young gijinka, and shows much more patience with them. His fatherly tendencies often shows thru his interactions with kids.
