Richard Sutcliffe

Richard, a character in the It Lives series, is Robbie Sutcliffe's father. He first appears in It Lives Beneath, Chapter 6.

Appearance
Richard has black hair, brown eyes and light skin. He wears a black suit with a brown and white handkerchief over a black button-up shirt and vest with a necktie of the same color.

Personality
Richard is a self-centered individual who has no respect for other people, such as constantly making unwanted gestures towards Danni.

As a member of the Cult, it is implied that he also has a ruthless personality, killing Ned Mallory and attacking the main character when the latter was escaping.

He is described by Danni as "rich, but not that rich, and acts slimy and insecure about it".

In Chapter 9, it is revealed that he is a member of splinter group within The Society who acted without the approval of Their Leader. He could be viewed as unloyal given that he immediately names Craig and Arthur as his accomplices. Furthermore, he is shown to be a bad liar given that he couldn't keep his lies straight and gave different excuses as to how he received the bruise on his forehead.

In Chapter 17, it is revealed that he is the one who killed the main character's parents.

Danni
According to Danni, Richard often made unwanted advances towards her, usually in the form of inviting her to his galas and presenting her photos to him.

Robbie Sutcliffe
Robbie is Richard's son. Though not much is known about their relationship, it appears that Richard doesn't want Robbie to spend time with Elliot. If you talk with Robbie at his father's party, Robbie tells you that Richard doesn't approve of his choices. In Chapter 17, if you try to reason with Richard, he tells you that he hopes Robbie and Elliot will break up when you die, due to Elliot's heartbreak.

Vincent Wescott
According to Imogen Wescott, her father Vincent is on the Arts and Culture Council with Richard.
