I'm totally serious. I think he’s a member (perhaps the last surviving one) of the island’s original four toed inhabitants. Here's why:
It’s been confirmed now that Richard is very old – perhaps immortal. None of the rest of the “others” has shown that trait.
He seems more connected to the island than even Ben or John.
He’s given a great deal deference by the rest of the “others” – including even Ben. Hell, sometimes Ben seems to be in awe of him.
