Rusl (Total War)

Rusl is a prominent resident and well known figure in Ordona Province.

Description
To many in Ordona Province, Rusl was just an average trader who made rounds to Hyrule Proper and Lanayru. Those that knew him personally were more than likely aware of his minor background in the military. Unlike many Ordonians, Rusl was actually professionally trained in several Hylian military academies, with rumors that he was attempting to become the first Hyrulean Knight from Ordona Province. Somewhere along the line he left his studies and became the salesman he was later known as. Rusl was known for his kindness, and perhaps more importantly, calmness. Even in sticky situations he maintained a level head and never showed any signs of panic. Perhaps a remnants of his military background?
