So, this is based on every serial killer- psychopath- crazy government conspirator narration that Dean Koontz has ever written. So, if by chance, you somehow come across this crazy piece of chopped up and mushed together fiction; thanks Dean, I owe you one.
His name was Richard.
It meant High King, or Great Ruler.
Either would do.
Richard was looking at Melissa Williams bones when his trap went off.
Obviously this Dresden person everyone was talking about wasn't as smart or powerful as they made him out to be. Otherwise he would have found the trap and disabled it. Either way it would have been noticed by the High King.
As it was, Richard had something much more valuable now.
Blood.
