The priest in the jail told Ricardo he did not have enough time to serve penance for his crime. It seems logical/plausible to me that Ricardo would choose to live forever so he would not go to Hell and have the time to pay for his ultimate sin.

Speaking of that smokin' hot immortal, why was he called Ricardus <sp?> if his original name was Ricardo? Isn't Ricardus the Latin version of Richard? I realize he's Latino, but that's really not the same thing.

I may have figured this out. I remember Juliet speaking Latin. She said The Others used it as a secret language or something like that. Perhaps they got to know him as "Ricardus" whilst speaking Latin and it just stuck?
