The emerging hero in Lost Rider

The emerging hero in the Lost Rider is Ricard.  At first, it seems that he is just a normal and innocent boy. One day is just playing in the yard with his toys; then all of sudden he gets shipped off to a slavery camp to work the rest of his life.  That is until one day he gets called to the job by his sister and his friends in the slavery camp.  They want to escape and make the children of Vietnam free. So, Ricard plans his escape and breaks out to run back to his family. Then save his friends back at the slavery camp and make things right with Vietnam slavery camps. I think Ricard is the emerging hero because he takes the advise of his friends and his sister.
