Dick was a criminal convicted for theft and incarcerated in Graterford Prison.
Biography[]
Dick was imprisoned in Graterford Prison during the initial stages of the Chimeran invasion of the United States when the guards abandoned it, leaving all the inmates locked in their cells. Dick was not entirely sure if the rumors about the Chimeran invasion he heard from another prisoner were true, but decided he had to get out of the prison.[1] He began writing letters to his mother about what was happening, intending to mail them to her when he had a chance.[1]
Dick managed to break out of his cell by creating lock picks from his bed frame, and was the first prisoner who managed to escape from his cell. Dick was uncertain about releasing the other prisoners, worried about some which he described as "real bad guys", but decided he needed friends to fight with if the rumors about the invasion were true.[2] Unfortunately, the prisoners he trusted enough to release himself then released other prisoners, and eventually everyone in the prison was freed.[3]
This included Mick Cutler, the leader of a large gang of prisoners. Shortly after all the prisoners were freed, Dick approached Cutler with the idea of planning to leave the prison as a group, but Cutler refused, saying everyone would be safer inside the prison. Dick decided after thinking it over that Cutler was right, having left the prison alone the week before to visit a nearby town and seeing how bad things were there.[3] Some time later, Cutler decided to strongarm Dick into joining his gang, the Wardens, by threatening to withhold food and water from him. Dick tried to avoid joining by pointing out that if it was not for him Cutler would have never escaped his cell, which Cutler countered by saying if it was not for him and his "pal" Herbert the Chimera would have overrun the prison. Dick was tempted to tell him Herbert was not Cutler's pal, but knew it would end poorly for him if he did, so gave in and joined the Wardens since the prison was running out of food.[4]
As part of the Wardens, Dick went on a scavenging trip outside the prison with Cutler, trying to find more food. They struggled to find anything, but came across a group of survivors, who Dick suggested they partner with. Instead, Cutler brutalized them, which Dick could not bring himself to watch.[5] Dick would later decide that Cutler needed to be stopped, as he felt that Cutler was slowly making all the other prisoners into monsters. Knowing that others had tried to kill Cutler before, he decided that he would need to be careful and wait for the right moment to avoid being found out.[6] Despite this, Cutler discovered Dick's plan, and had other Wardens begin watching him. Dick knew his only hope for survival was escape, and he decided to flee the prison at night.[7] It is unknown if Dick succeeded in escaping from the prison, or if he was killed by the Wardens.
