Personality
Ruslan has shown to be a humble man. He has a close relationship with his stepdaughter, Sherry. He always tried to support her in her activities and pushes for her to interact with others. This is later proven to be a facade as Ruslan is a power-hungry and pitiful person, only wanting to regain his peak in power and is manipulative, using Sherry and her late mother as means to an end. He takes pride in killing of Sherry's mother which even disgusts Cid.

Synopsis
Ruslan and Sherry Barnett are visited by Iris Midgar and Alexia Midgar. Iris gives Sherry an artifact belonging to the Order of Diabolos and asks her to decipher the text on it. Ruslan encourages her to do so, stating its a rare opportunity.

Later, he sees Sherry having a chocolate and she explains a boy gave it to her. He tells her that its hard to obtain such good chocolate, so the boy must really like her and she must consider well what she will reply.
