Richard Sawyer is a fictional character from South Park. He first appeared in the pilot episode Cartman Gets an Anal Probe.

Biography
Richard was born at Asile Saint-Joseph pour les aliénés criminels a psychiatric hospital/prison located on an island in Pheasant Island near French Basque Country. He is the son of Angela Marsh, a wealthy philanthropist and pharmacist, and Nikolai Sawyer (born Nikolai Braslawsky). His father, who was of Russian Jewish ancestry tracing his origins to Saint Petersburg, joined a revolutionary militant group who opposed the French government (albeit unknowingly). Nikolai came across a falsely advertised military group that supposedly supported the French government, so he signed up. When he joined the group he had realized it was not a group fighting for justice at all, instead it was a conspiracist group. Nikolai was forced to do multiple minor crimes that he did not want to commit. One night they captured a woman named Angela Marsh, where Nikolai was told by his colleagues to rape her once they returned to their prison. Nikolai reluctantly did so. After this, Nikolai became so disgusted with himself, that he had threatened to leave the group. Not wanting to risk him spreading any crucial information, the revolutionist put a bomb on the Nikolai's escape plane, and when it exploded it seemingly killed Nikolai. Unbeknownst to everyone, Nikolai had anticipated that his former group would attempt to do something like this, so he came prepared. When the bomb blew up, Nikolai jumped out of a window and opened a parachute and landed somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. As aforementioned, Nikolai came prepared, as he had created a small boat for him to float on. Nikolai used the boat to head to America, and after three days of sailing he finally made it to New York City. After a few years, Nikolai became an American citizen, and changed his last name back to Braslawsky. However, he later anglicized it to Broflovski.

The corrupt government decreed that Nikolai's young son would serve out the man's life sentence, and thus Richard spent his childhood and early adult life in prison. Richard spent much of his time Botanical Gardens located on the east side of asylum, which provided fresh greenery as possible rehabilitation for the institution's inmates. He also spent a considerable amount of time body building in the prison's gym, developed his own form of meditation, and learned to fight in the merciless school of prison life. Richard is fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Latin due to the books he read and the cultural incorporation of the asylum. Due to residing at a Catholic penitentiary, Richard had several teachers come and go, and was given Jesuit teachings. Richard was also baptized at a local Catholic Church. He also spent a few summers in Vatican City where he received his communion and confirmation. When Richard was 19, he was released from the prison for good behavior. He moved to the United States and became an American citizen.

When Richard was eleven, he was accidentally pushed off a railing of one of the prison halls during two of inmates' fight, and he hit his head on the concreate floor. While he was in a coma, he claimed that he had visions of Jesus. Richard is ethnically Jewish on account of his parents' ethnicity, but was raised Catholic, but would later identify as secular and non-religious, but nonetheless believed in a God, making him an agnostic theist. When Richard was 21, he decided that he wanted to get a proper education, and enrolled at the United States Naval Academy, now that he was an eligible American citizen. He graduated with a double-major degree in Aerospace Engineering and Ocean Engineering. Richard was commissioned an esign and received a four-year Navy Health Professions Scholarship to attend Stanford University School of Medicine, receiving his M.D. at the age of 30. He subsequently completed an internship in general surgery at the Naval Medical Center San Diego, and soon after joined the Medical Corps, where he performed Neurosurgery, Cardiothoracic, and Orthopedic surgeries at the medical clinic. He also opened a restaurant within the hospital with southern-style foods and desserts.

Sometime in his mid-to-late 30s, he met a woman named Mabel. They began a relationship, and later had three children, Matt, Ellen, and Linda, in a relatively short time period. Little did Richard know, is that Mabel was secretly juggling another relationship behind his back, with another man named Harold Cartman, who was living in another country. Although Matt, Ellen, and Linda were born in America, Mabel would later claim they were born in Paris. A few years later, Mabel permanently moved to the United States and gave birth to sextuplets. It was then when Mabel came clean to Richard that she was cheating on him, and later showed him a paternity test that confirmed that he was the father of two of the sextuplets she gave birth to. Richard was angered by this and dumped Mabel immediately afterward, with him taking custody of Matt and Ellen, while Mabel took the rest of the girls, Linda included, as she was living with Richard at this time.

Richard soon moved the family to Fort Wayne, Indiana, just a little over three hours away from where his ex-lover lived. Richard still served in the Navy though, and his skills in various forms of surgery, promoted him to a surgeon general. After becoming a surgeon general, Richard founded his own medical clinic and it became hugely successful, and within 5-8, he had essentially become a billionaire, as he had also become a philanthropist. He made good use of his money, selling it to charities, child hospitals, and lending his talents in surgery to a local naval aviator base. He has since owned many properties throughout the United States.

Fun Fact
Richard moved to South Park a few years prior to the events of the series. Richard first appeared in The Unaired Pilot and Cartman Gets an Anal Probe. He was the train conductor. However, the reason he did not look like an elderly is because he has peak human longevity, meaning he ages slower than normal humans due to having extremely healthy cells. He also dyed his hair red and wore a mustache, just for fun.
