Rickert seems to share a brotherly bond with Pippin, who he is almost never seen without and who protects him during the battle of Doldrey.

His gentleness has been commented on by Guts, who prevented him from accompanying him on his journey because he is unable to hate Griffith. This mellows down to friendship, during which he becomes one of Guts' friends during his tenure in the band. Rickert's early contact with Guts involved a degree of idolization for saving him during the swordsman's first battle with the Band of the Falcon. The party celebrating the end of the Hundred Years War shows him overwhelmed as he cannot handle the women fawning over his cuteness. During the battle of Doldrey, he makes a short speech about the mercenaries being cornered: they will live if they fight and die if they lose, perceived by Corkus as indication that "Rickert has lost his mind", defining the out-of-character moment. He perceives that Corkus was the one who started the fight with Guts and thus was responsible for losing his men.

Rickert has a gentle, rational, and somewhat childishly innocent personality that contrasts with the rough ones of the typical mercenary. Their stay is short-lived, however, as Rickert brazenly displays his detachment from Griffith's dream by slapping his former leader and so is forced to flee the city. Following the Great Roar of the Astral World, he and Erica flee their overrun mountain cottage and seek refuge within Falconia. For two years, Rickert lives with Godot in the mountains, honing his engineering and blacksmithing – ignorant of the grim circumstance of his comrades' deaths.

A year after Griffith's untimely imprisonment and the exiling of the band, Rickert is left not only as the sole survivor of his unit when apostles attack, but also as the only one of three surviving members not to have been branded, having been absent from the Eclipse.

He serves as the Band of the Falcon's youngest known member during the Hundred-Year War, and is ennobled alongside the band's commanders by the king of Midland following their recapture of Doldrey. Image Gallery Rickert is a former member of the original Band of the Falcon, and a prodigious engineer and blacksmith.
