Retriver I was apparently born in Phoenix, Arizona. He used to work along side Retriver II back in the 70s before either of them had grown beaks, fighting for "Computer and Video Entertainment Systems Fan Galaxy"

One day Retriever I was shot down by a red thing.
This forced Retriever II to clone himself a few times

CaVES FG was saved, though for his own safety Retriever II stepped down from his position, which was later given to a bunch of weird insect things who did a better job and eventually found fame because of it

then there was probably a depression period but nobody cared.
then later MFGG happened and people wondered what had become of the first Retriever and I made up a story about it and then the topic was derailed by Brawl or porn discussion, or ignored. Then I came back to it in a few hours time and realised I was very very bored.
