Trained in the ways of kung-fu, Riley traveled the world as a peaceful recorder player, wandering from town to town with his goldfish Fluffy. One day he returned from earning coinage on the streets to find his fishy friend lying murdered on the ground. He would later discover the Kodiak Gang, comprised of a bevy of wrestling bears, was responsible for Fluffy's untimely demise, and promptly challenged the bears in a fit of rage. Blinded by his emotions and outnumbered a baker's dozen to one, Riley was soundly defeated and fled the land in shame. His travels led to a life of vice and neglect until he was found by Master Roderick Toombs who taught him the art of wrestling, as well as the ancient secret of channeling one's fury into a single coconut and smashing it into your opponent's head. Bolstered by his new skills, Riley once again wrestled with the Kodiak Gang, this time beating every last one of them. Fluffy's death was avenged and Riley disappeared from the face of the earth, playing his recorder to the setting sun. A spattering of coconut milk was all he left in his wake.
