Sir Richard Dragonclaw is a ruler in the Late Middle Ages, owning Cragshire, Eldenborough and Cuttingham.
He is loyal to King Godefrey Darkblood, although depending on which questline you choose, he could be turned over to your side through a royal marriage. He says he is a "fearsome opponent in battle, a good partner in business and loyal to his family", and that appears to be true - he is not as harsh as King Darkblood, but Ragu mentions him as "somewhat ruthless", so he is at least a bit feared by his people.
