When Richard's childhood love [[Elala Cisne]] was pregnant with Dalma in ca. [[3019]], he and Elala planned an illegal abortion but were found out. Richard and Elala were sent into exile separately, leading to a very cool relationship between Richard and his mother. Richard was sent into the custody of his uncle Samuel on [[Kanata]], then [[Gibson]] and finally the Amish people on [[Home]].<ref>''Präludium'', pp. 178-179</ref> He made it his life's quest to reunite with Elala. Dame Catherine meanwhile raised Dalma like her own child.

Richard was recalled from exile by his mother in [[3029]] to marry Emma Centrella, and made a lasting impression on his fiancée; however, he was straightforward in that he was in love with Elala and would only marry Emma for political reasons. They became friends nonetheless (with Emma hoping for more) and, unwilling to enter a purely political marriage, engineered a faux scandal that established both Richard's playboy image and their supposed mutual dislike. During the Andurien Wars they had infrequent contact and it was ultimately Emma who helped Richard find Elala on [[Andarmax]]. Here, Richard found out that Elala, by now exiled from Andurien and her child for a decade, had become a full [[Capellan Confederation]] citizen, recently joined a [[Worm Cult|nationalistic Capellan sect]], and had married another man. Having turned her back on Andurien, she rejected Richard and called their daughter a "mistake". It was Emma who rescued a heartbroken and heavily drugged Richard from the clutches of the sect after he had joined them just to be with Elala.

Although they remained on friendly terms, Richard and Emma went separate ways afterwards. On Richard's request, Elala was allowed to live in the Confederation with her husband.

After [[3031]], Richard Humphreys maintained a very low profile. He technically stood to inherit the Duchy of Andurien from his mother, who died in [[3040]] just after the Duchy had been reconquered by the [[Free Worlds League]]. However, following the war the Duchy was put under a federally appointed governor until [[3048]]. It was Richard's daughter Dalma who resumed House Humphreys' authority over Andurien in that year.<ref name=BW82>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 82</ref>

Richard had faded into obscurity by that time. In fact, the Humphreys clan had effectively forced him into seclusion because he was considered to be too closely linked to the "Canopus affair", the Andurien/Canopus alliance and their ill-fated joint attack on the Confederation in the wake of the Andurien secession.<ref name=BW82/>
