"I am Deputy Commander Riordan. I trust no further introduction is needed."
He is the Deputy Commander of the Royal Army, Viscount of Rocheste and headmaster of the Royal Army Academy. He holds a firm belief that all good soldiers follow orders to the letter.
Like Gwynn, Riordan strictly follows the rules of the Royal Army, and has no regrets about his actions. For instance, Riordan was willing to destroy all of Hoarfrost Hollow just to retrieve a Holy Artifact.
Apparently, Riordan seems to dislike the mercenary "rookie". For instance, he tested them to craft the Cadet Ring and the Royal Cadet Set, which Gwynn claims these are "near-impossible" tasks.
Riordan has a wife named Nel, who occasionally brags to him or other cadets.
Spoiler: (Episode 5) Riordan travels to Colhen to retrieve a Holy Artifact for the Pontiff's Court.
Spoiler: (Episode 8) After Glas Ghaibhleann's death, Riordan confronts Keaghan and informs him that he has been stripped of his rank. Acting as High Commander, Riordan orders his soldiers to kill Keaghan, but Gwynn rushes out and pushes Keaghan aside, sacrificing her life. Riordan commands the soldiers to fire again, but Nyle soon shows up in the form of a black smoke. Using his Dark Knight powers, he quickly teleports himself, Keaghan, and the Rookie away.
Since the incident, it is confirmed that Riordan is working alongside with the Pontiff's Court (who were actual traitors, as their prophecy was a complete lie) and Keaghan and the Rookie are labeled as fugitives.
