Personally, Richardson was known as an odd man, distant from daily life. He met the father of the leader of the Broken Cloaks during the Lavosi Gang Wars, Jorry 'Lavos', who was Jorry 'Ethryke', a famous travelling vagabond-turned-gangster, and a competent minstrel. They reputedly met in 191 AC, when Jorry the Elder would have only been 15.
