— Ruben, to his army

Ruben (Japanese:ルーベンRuben) was a knight ofMacedon who was the leader of a large number of deserters from the country's army inAurelis. Having established a base of operations in an abandoned Aurelis fort, Ruben and his forces pillaged Aurelian villages mercilessly. This eventually caught the attention ofMinerva andHardin, who led a small group out to investigate.

Biography

Ruben claimed to have deserted the Macedonian army out of dislike for its commander in Aurelis, Princess Minerva. By the time Minerva and Hardin's group found the fortress headquarters of the deserters, Ruben had forcedFrost, a Macedonian bishop, into serving in his forces by threatening Frost's family. Though he was surprised to hear of Minerva's approach, Ruben openly denounced her as a charmless fool who was forced to serve her tyrannical brotherMichalis because he held their sisterMaria hostage. He died in the ensuing battle, and his army of deserters was wiped out.

Quotes

Battle quotes

Gahahah! This is the end for you!
— Ruben, inArchanea Saga.
Come at me! I'm not the one who's about to die!
— Ruben, inNew Mystery of the Emblem.
Ruben: Munchin' Manaketes! Am I surprised to face you directly in the battlefield, Princess Minerva.
Minerva: You're... Ruben. I didn't think I'd find you here, not after you were banished from the army for your acts of brutality against civilians. ...So you lead the deserters. Surrender. If you don't, I shall strike you down as an enemy of Macedon!
Ruben: Heh...! I don't take orders from you anymore. For some reason, the folks at Macedon worship you royals as if you were gods. Yet, the crown prince fancies himself a patricide, the older sister is a charmless buffoon... and the younger sister is a brat whose only talent is getting kidnapped. Who on earth could put up with the stupid military, when even the country's like that too? Wouldn't you agree, Minerva the Buffoon!
Minerva: Dastard... How dare you belittle us! I believe you've just shown your readiness to accept your fate.
Ruben: Heh! Not if I kill you first!

— Ruben, facingMinerva inNew Mystery of the Emblem.
