Richard Voorhees is an ex-space freighter captain (and often smuggler) who came to Pliocene after being sued by a space crew after ignoring their distress beacon. He seems self-centered to most of Group Green, but still works to help the rest of his group and eventually the Lowlives. He kills the first Tanu with a small knife-like pendant and inadvertently discovers the effectiveness of iron which the exotics know as the Blood-Metal. He uses his navigator skills to help the Lowlives find the Ship's Grave and flies the first working inertia-less exotic shuttle.
