Not much is known about Rude other than the fact that he is a Turk, one of ShinRa's elite assassins/henchmen, fights with his fists, has excellent choice in accessories - Reno counts as one -, is bald, and is the strong, silent calm type of guy.

He does his job well and is seen reining in Reno when the redhead gets too out of control, though it is difficult to tell what is going on upstairs with Rude considering he does not talk much and is always wearing dark shades.

Rude is in Final Fantasy: Advent Children, still working as a Turk alongside Reno. His seiyuu for the movie is Kusunoki Taiten. He's quite manly.
