HISTORY
Years ago, sneak thief Richard Dragon visited Kyoto for a theft, and was approached by an old man called the O-Sensei, who taught Richard how to master the martial arts. Although his only desire was peace, such was not his destiny. Eventually, Richard became an agent of the espionage organization called G.O.O.D. and battled international threats such as Guano Cravat, Telegram Sam, the Preying Mantis, the League of Assassins, and his own former superior, Barney Ling.
On several missions, Richard worked together with his friends Ben Turner (later known as Bronze Tiger) and Lady Shiva. In recent years, Dragon has kept a low profile (even posing as a cripple for some time), but has been the teacher and mentor of several adventurers, including the Question and most recently the Huntress.
