Early Life
"What I don't understand is why my parents care if I am in the army"

- The Doctor to another marine.

Todd was born on Reach in the higher class levels of Terrador to Heinrich and Nora Richstofer on the 17th November 2527. He was born of a rich family, and received the best of education on Reach. In his school he was considered a nerd for excelling in more literature and biological subjects. He was fascinated by the human body and it's functions, and frequently made models, sculptures and diagrams of the body and it's contents. Suprisingly to the bullies, Todd was also talented to sporting activites.

Todd wrote papers and created sculptures the equivilant of three years above the average level; however he turned down any offers of rising through years of school, wishing to remain with his peers. He recieved his nickname the Doctor after a girl fell from a tree and broke her leg; Todd managed to create a temporary cast for her leg from nearby objects inside before she was sent to hospital. Afterwards, Todd was highly respected by other pupils in academics and physical education.

As Todd matured, he became more and more fascinated with the tales of The Covenant and the battles which they had fought. The Doctor did research on UNSC weapons, and visited some firing ranges, and learned how to fire light military weapons. When he turned 18, Todd joined the UNSC Military, eventually becoming a Medic in a Marine Squad. Heinrich officially disproved of this action, however he was presuaded by Todd that it was an ok idea.
