There are very few people outside of his birth and marital family who have gotten to know him well. Although never officially diagnosed, he may have OCD.

• Physical Limitations: Although toned through his Academy training, Richards is no more physically able than his fellow human officers. He has an average strength for a human male and an average stamina level. - Notably, Richards was unwittingly entered into the Academy marathon.
