Richter Abend

Richter Abend is a new character introduced in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World and is one of the main antogonist in the game. He first meets Emil at the beginning of the game when Emil is picked on by bullies, while searching to find the Ratatosk Core. Richter acts as the tutorial in this game since he teaches Emil the basics of fighting.

In the E3 2008 gameplay it showed Richter trying to kill Marta since the Ratatosk Core is implanted on her head, this is possibly the part of the game where Emil starts to hate Richter.
