Rude, as he appears in Final Fantasy VII

Rude

Rude as seen in Advent Children.

Rude (ルード) is a member of the Turks, appearing in many installments in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. He is a tall, bald man with a little goatee. He always wears sunglasses and appears to carry spares on him in case something happens to the pair he is wearing. Rude is rarely seen without his long-time partner Reno and is rather taciturn, tending to relegate the talking to Reno. Years ago, when there was war between AVALANCHE and Shinra, Rude fell in love with a woman named Chelsea. Unfortunately, she was an AVALANCHE spy who grew infatuated with Rude, but left him because they were on different sides. Rude did not take well to her departure, since he could not even say goodbye to her. Since then, he has been rather cynical and refuses to develop any close relationships, aside from his friendship with Reno. Rude is a superb physical fighter and prefers to use his fists in battle. He has a soft spot for Tifa Lockhart, demonstrated by the fact that he will not attack her if she battles him in the many encounters in Final Fantasy VII. In one of his rare lines of dialogue in Final Fantasy VII he reveals to Reno that he has a crush on Tifa Lockhart, who is also a phenomenal physical fighter, although nothing ever comes of this crush.


Rude also appears alongside Reno in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. He is a lot more talkative this time around, but mainly acts as comic relief. He is voiced by Taiten Kusunoki in the Japanese version of Advent Children and Crispin Freeman in the English version. He is quite tough, and is shown to be nearly as tough as Loz and Yazoo. Although he is defeated by Yazoo and Loz, he puts up quite a fight. It is also shown in Advent Children, that Rude and Reno are very dedicated and loyal to their boss Rufus.
