The eldest son of legendary wrestler Mike Chronos, Ric grew up in and out of the wrestling ring. Turning professional at the age of eighteen, Ric originally performed under a mask as "Prodigal" to prevent any unfair advantages being thrown his way because of his father. Quickly fighting his way up the ranks, he held the RDWF United States championship briefly, and then decided to wrestle under his real name. When the RDWF folded, he split his time evenly between the HCW, where he was again crowned a United States Champion, and the UCW, where he claimed both the North American Title and one-half of the tag team champions. After taking some time off to deal with family matters, Ric returned to in-ring action, this time in the fWo, where he planned to fufill a dual mission - bringing back John Skyler and building a new reputation for himself.
After Tag Team and International Title reigns, Chronos found himself on the sidelines, as Primetime brutally and intentionally injured Ric Chronos, then turned his focus to Fallen, seemingly putting Fallen out of the sport entirely with Primetime's feared Backdrop Driver. Returning to the ring before fully healing, Chronos was joined with Fallen's other best friend - The Black Panther - and the two intended to not only achieve tag team gold, but to seek revenge on Primetime while doing so... and that's when it all fell apart.
The Panther proved to be a snake, turning on Chronos when he needed his partner the most. Confronted by the demons of alcoholism and Primetime, haunted by the memories of his injuries and his father, Chronos fought a bitter battle - and won. After winning the Wrestler Of The Year Tournament, Ric captured the fWo World Title from Primetime, his nemesis. Taking on all comers, Ric was ready to show the world that it was his time. Sadly for Ric, the abandonment by Mike Bear and Wretch left Chronos without backup, and after another Backdrop Driver by Primetime, Ric again found himself in a hospital bed, desperatly trying to recover.
As the months passed, Ric watched the fWo, and from his rehabilitation, he noticed that Mike Bear had returned, capturing the fWo World gold.
Slowly, for the first time, things started making sense to the young man, and he came to the sudden realization that Mike Bear - loved by all the fans - was in reality the bane of Chronos' career in the fWo. Mike's abandonment had set the stage for Ric's injury, and that injury allowed Bear to take the title for his own. Seething with rage at this obvious betrayal, Ric worked frantically to enable a return to the ring. In April, Chronos appeared at Cyberslam, winning a battle royal to receive a title shot. Chronos put this opportunity to good use, and reclaimed his title from Mike Bear, only to lose that same belt to the Strangler at Damned. Infuriated, Chronos looked for support - for backup - and found it in The Flying Frenchie and Ric's once antithesis, Primetime.
Forming an elite group known as 3vil, they trio came back in a big way to put the fWo on notice - they were going to right the many "wrongs" throughout the history of the fWo, starting with the World Title. Gaining total control of the booking priviledges, and the chance to fully own the company, they were a threat on a level the fWo had rarely seen. Fortunatly for the fWo at large, the group collapsed on itself, leaving Chronos and Frenchie as partners, but 3vil permanently obliterated.
Chronos' trials were not quite over, however - in circumstances that still aren't quite clear, Ric was kidnapped in order to be executed by a paid assassin for unknown reasons. The attempt failed, with Ric getting the better of his assasilant, accientally killing him - on live national TV.
This event began a chain reaction, causing the fWo to lose its coveted television deal, and Ric to be blamed as the cause for everything from the loss of the show to the rating slump that followed. Unable to cope with the guilt and pressue, Ric began externalizing his anger on any unfortunate who happened to not treat Ric with the respect he felt he deserved. Currently, the target of his ire is none other than Brand Frontier, and that saga is yet to reach its finale.
