Richard Sheridan

Richard Sheridan is Aria Sheridan's father in Hollywood U. He first appears in the quest, Broken Circle.

Character's Backstory
It was revealed during a talk with the Main Character that he used to be friends with Anders Stone and were both interns under Jimmy Stewart who called them 'those two trouble makers'. Both Richard and Stone became Silver Circle members until Anders chose to walk away because he 'couldn't go through with what they were trying to make him do'. He showed his true colors during the party for 'Permanent Wound' and revealed himself to the Main Character and was delighted on the fact that he had just destroyed Anders Stone by using the Main Character. It was revealed on Bad Blood, that he was the Mysterious Benefactor and the head of the Silver Circle.

He was brought to justice in the main quest, The Audreys, when Dean and the Main Character played the footage where he was having a controversial conversation with the actor Keegan Welch on winning the Audrey as Best Actor rather than Chris Winters because the latter wasn't a member of the Circle. He was arrested and the activities within the circle were halted until the Valmont siblings can rebuild the organization's integrity that Sheridan had destroyed.

Personality and Characteristics
Richard seems to be a friendly person like his daughter Aria. However, he can be a little arrogant, expecting your character to give up friendship for career, and also expecting the main character to listen to him. Richard can be compared to Anders Stone, as both are billionaires with daughters who they love very much. Just as Anders would do anything for Bianca, Richard would do anything for Aria.

While he was first introduced as a carefree, pun-loving billionaire; it was actually a mask he used to cover a more sinister character who was manipulative and vindictive, especially to Anders whom he felt betrayed him for leaving the Silver Circle. He is also richer than Anders, which means he has more influence.
