Richard wanted to be an actor but his father wanted him to take over the family business. Richard tried to get his father to accept the idea but he would never even consider it. So to get back at his father and put him out of business Richard became the Muse. He helped small time gangs like the Hi-brows, Wild Ones and the Deltoids to knock over his father's operations. As Vincent's son he always had inside information and his father always asked him to look over the problems.

The gangs loved him and called him Big M and the Guardian Angel. His plan however did not end the way Richard had hoped and he was killed in a confrontation between his loosely organized gangs and his father's mob. He died in his father's arms quoting Shakespeare.
