Who set a bounty over Riddick in "Riddick" (2013)?

Who set a bounty over Riddick in "Riddick" (2013)? - Crop anonymous barista putting glass pot with coffee on table with cups near beakers and drippers on blurred background in modern cafe

In simple words, how can Riddick be in the same time:

  • a Lord Marshal of the (most likely most powerful in the universe) Necromonger fleet and
  • wanted convict with a huge bounty promised for his head (twice as much for bringing him dead)?

Who could set up such bounty? How could any mercenary wish to set sails for hunting leader of the powerful nation?



Best Answer

In the graphic novel, Riddick is an escaped convict. Since he is a convict that has escaped, the authorities of the prison would issue a bounty for his return. His status as leader of a warring nation would not effect this. It would just make the bounty hunters job more difficult if not impossible.

Answer 2

Vaako.

  • Riddick's refusal to swear into the Necromonger faith causes dissent and assassination attempts.
  • Vaako is motivated to become Lord Marshal and transcend.
  • Vaako leaves him on "not Furya".

Although it is not directly shown, Vaako would then place the bounty and give the bounty hunters his location.
