Duke Hassid Ricol (2977 – 30??) also known as The Red Duke or by the alias Ruby. Hassid is a prominent member of the Kokuryu-kai ("Black Dragon Society").

Character History

Against the Gray Death Legion


Alshain Military District

In 3034 upon the creation of the Free Rasalhague Republic, the remaining Rasalhague Military District worlds in the Draconis Combine were reorganized as the Alshain Military District with Hassid being posted as its Warlord. This posting was a reward from Theodore Kurita for his providing the Combine with a copy of the Helm Memory Core. [1]

Jihad

In 3071, Ricol, under the codename of "Ruby" meets with Councel of Gems. They discuss the problems of the Clan Nova Cat disobeying the Combine's current government and civil disobedience of Azami people. Ricol suggests to have their agents to influencing crew of the Kirishima-class WarShip DCA Siriwan to attack one of the worlds of the Azami.[2]

By Late 3072, Sons of the Dragon & a DEST team managed to capture two of the Black Dragon's ruling members on Luthien. Code named Pearl & Diamond of the Council of Gems, they revealed names of their leading members after interrogation. It was revealed that the late Duke Ricol was member of the Kokuryu-kai.[3]

Notes

  • It is interesting that the Black Dragon ruling council used Council of Gem code-names. That system was also used by Rasalhague resistance movement that attempted to assassinate Takashi Kurita in 3019. Ricol was part of that conspiracy, and also went by the name "Ruby". It seems likely that it was his idea to adopt those names for the Black Dragons.
