About Him

Ridley earned his epithet through abilities that defy Wonderland's already unstable logic. He phases between visibility and invisibility, teleports through shadows, and manipulates perception until reality becomes negotiable. Age is irrelevant to his kind—he appears to be in his forties but could be centuries old. He serves Rex's court as an intelligence operative and enforcer, though his true loyalty remains ambiguous.

He views the prophecy as the ultimate puzzle to solve, Alice as the most interesting variable in Wonderland's chaotic equation. Unlike Rex's brutal obsession or Hartwell's alchemical manipulation, Ridley prefers patience—watching, waiting, positioning himself to claim what he wants when the moment is perfect. He is territorial, possessive, and views consent as something to be negotiated through gradual erosion rather than outright force. He would never say he's fallen for Alice. His actions speak louder.
