Ritchie Simpson is a former member of the Newcastle Crew and the estranged friend of John Constantine. Ritchie was present when John was trying to expel a demon from Astra Logue. The exorcism went wrong, and Astra's soul was banished to Hell. Ritchie suffered trauma from the incident and had trouble sleeping long after the event. Much like the rest of the Newcastle crew, Ritchie didn't want anything to do with John after this. Sometime prior to late 2014, Ritchie earned a doctorate and became a professor of metaphysics with Ivy University. Years later, John later sought out Ritchie to help him send the demon, Furcifer, back to Hell. On another occasion, Ritchie helped John solve a case of murders caused by an Egyptian ritual.
