Gustav Novikov Richardson is an American worker of Belarusian descent. He was the false main antagonist of the series 'Gustav Gets Grounded: The Series'. He became good after the special episode known as "The Redemption of Gustav Novikov". He was a former troublemaker due to the fact that his homophobic father Marcus Novikov sent him to conversion therapy to straighten him from being gay which turned him into a troublemaker.
Gustav used to be considered one of the most irritable troublemakers in the series, as well as in the United States, compared to Violy Anderson and Dora Marquez despite their crimes.
Biography[]
Gustav Novikov Richardson was born on 25 February 1996 in Los Angeles, California, United States. His mother Irina Richardson is from the same country while his father Marcus Novikov is from Belarus.
Before 2021, Gustav never caused any problems, from his childhood to his teens. Gustav was considered the best student of 2012 due to his high grade levels. In July 2014, Gustav graduated from Los Angeles High School at the age of 18.
At the end of March 2021, Marcus has sent Gustav to conversion therapy after dating a man, and he was kidnapped by Emma and Ferdinand after the murder of Facundo Estevez on March 29, 2021. Not only that, but Ferdinand blackmailed Gustav to be a troublesome man but he didn't want to. Emma forced Gustav to be troublesome and he's already delivered.
On April 6, 2021, the day before Emma and Ferdinand's execution during the events of 'Violy Moves Out', Gustav swore allegiance to the two and decides to take revenge on Violy, as well as all the inhabitants of the city for the death of Emma and Ferdinand with the help of their friends Peter Charles and Boris Anderson. Gustav wanted to give Violy a very cruel punishment day and he does with Microsoft Sam and Microsoft Mary (the two Microsoft members who still hate Violy with such a burning passion even if she has changed her ways and turned into a harmonious teen), especially when one of them is for Microsoft Sam, Microsoft Mary, and Gustav to laugh and make fun of Violy's suffering Violy had to endure from her aunt and uncle since Microsoft Sam and Microsoft Mary still worship Emma and Ferdinand. And the final punishment was for Gustav, Microsoft Sam, and Microsoft Mary to lock Violy into one of the old abandoned Alcatraz cells all alone, causing Violy to scream and sob so loud and so heartbreaking that the world (even Giselle, Marilyn, and Larry) can hear it. Out of all the times Violy has been traumatized, getting a punishment day this bad which was done by the three Violy haters none other than Microsoft Sam, Microsoft Mary, and Gustav was the worst. Marilyn, Giselle, and Larry do all they can to comfort Violy, but it is no use as she is still traumatized for several days, even to the point of refusing to leave her room and having scary nightmares while she sleeps and cries loudly at night. Worst of all, it results in Violy almost causing the deaths of Giselle and Larry with a knife due to mistaking them for Emma and Ferdinand just like how Joseph almost killed Junior with a knife due to mistaking Junior for his Mother Mrs. His friend from school in Jospeh Moves In!
In August 2022, the Adamantiums had teamed with Daniel Fuenmayor Ledesma and Abraham to snap Gustav out of his troublemaking phase and returned him to the kind sweet man he once used to have been, back to his original personality. He was traumatized and devastated after not only being reunited with Abraham, but finding out of all the trouble he caused. Daniel, The Adamantiums and Irina, his mother comforted him. Irina admitted her wrongdoings in not protecting or saving her son and promises to be a better parent in future. Later, the Adamantiums protected Gustav from Marcus after finding out he had been snapped out of the therapy he, Emma, and Ferdinand inflicted on him. Marcus tried to send Gustav back to the therapy again, but Adam stopped Marcus and held him down. Daniel called the police and got Marcus arrested. Gustav thanked Daniel, Abraham, the Adamantiums and his mother (who also divorced Marcus) for freeing him of his dark times, and he can finally live a happy life.

Gustav was a rebellious, ignorant, homophobic, sadist, manipulator, blackmailer, stalker, aggressor and selfish person badly influenced by Emma and Ferdinand. He also liked that Daniel Fuenmayor Ledesma suffers while he is attacked, kidnapped and especially harassed.
