Introduction
Despite a strong attachment to finance and financial history, Richard is an embroiderer first and foremost. He dabbles in other fields and teaches classes on economics, but his first love is the needle.
Persona
Richard was born into his family's goldsmithing business in the late 15th century and went to work for the Medici Bank in London. After Edward IV refused to pay his debts to that bank, undermining it, the Medici Bank of London was forced out of business and Richard lost his employment. Thereafter a staunch Lancastrian, Richard is now a clerk for Henry VII's Exchequer.

15th-16th century English is the way I costume/portray my persona, and I would love any scrolls that pull from the high medieval/early Renaissance period for inspiration.
