Personality
At 18 years old, Russell is the oldest of the Merville siblings. He is always facing forward & is trying to seize joy out of life. He is a young man whose spirit is like energy. He is the one usually giving it his all, the type to easily be fired up & go against the odds. Out of the five Train Quasar Guardians, Russell's Imagination is the highest, & therefore, so is his fighting power. He often acts before he thinks & hates cramped places.
