Editing Jimmy Richardson (section)

== Worldview ==
Richardson equates money with the ultimate philosophical takeover and permanent ownership of the world, arguing it is easier than becoming the very best there is at magic, or at the very least more interesting. Richardson utilizes a variety of paranoid, Machiavellian tactics to attain his goals, applying them all in tandem to strong-arm the people, governments, and legal systems to cover up and/or allow all the crimes and moral aberrations he commits for his company. 

Richardson, who is in his early forties, is horrified at the fact that he will one day die. Beneath his funny, charismatic, eccentric façade, he is a deeply, profoundly-paranoid man. He wants to either: a) Discover a method through magic that will allow him to live forever, or b) Find a wife to have a son with so his son can continue the family business. {{Statblock|name=Jimmy Richardson|size_alignment=Medium humanoid (human), Chaotic Evil|ac=19 (Enchanted business suit)|hp=243|speed=30 ft.|str=14|dex=19|con=17|int=23|wis=13|cha=24|saves=Int +12, Cha +13, Proficiency Bonus +6|skills=Arcana +18, Deception +19, Insight +7, Intimidation +13, Performance +13, Persuasion +13|resistances=Bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks|senses=Passive Perception 11|languages=Common|cr=23 (50,000 XP)|traits='''Legendary Resistance (3/day).'''

'''Darkheart.''' Richardson is attuned to the [[Darkheart]], granting him the following traits:

* Richardson cannot be disarmed of the Darkheart by any means. If a [https://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:wish Wish] spell is used to successfully unmake the Darkheart while the caster is within 5 feet of him, Richardson and the Darkheart are both destroyed.
