Greg Russellberg
Greg Russellberg
Voiced by: Tomoyuki Shimura (Japanese) and Patrick Seitz (English)
A self-proclaimed "Golem Crusher" who goes around destroying golems. He is seeking revenge on a certain Veruni, and he believes that by destroying golems he will eventually lure him out. This brings him into conflict with Dean, who loves golems and is appalled that anyone would destroy them. His unique ability is Shoot and Guard, which gives him a small chance to automatically enter the defensive Guard stance after attacking.- BFG: His ARM is the one Kartikeya used to kill his family.
- Clear My Name: Subverted. He tries to at first, but when he realizes that he has no proof and that no one will believe him, he gives up and goes on his quest for revenge. He's later cleared when his father-in-law sees Kartikeya for himself.
- Crusading Widower: He's out to get revenge on Kartikeya for killing his family.
- The Cynic: To Dean's Idealist.
- Cynicism Catalyst: His family getting killed followed up by getting framed for it.
- Dark and Troubled Past: His wife and 5-year-old child were murdered in front of him, and the whole town turns its back on him in believing he killed them himself. He ends up becoming a wanted man, at first through a misunderstanding, but then eventually goes on to commit other crimes on purpose as part of his new identity and being unable to go back to the life he had before. In short, he's been through a lot.
- Dirty Old Man: Downplayed since he doesn't show it a lot, but he does give off a suspicious smirk when the group comes across at risque magazine...
- Evil Luddite: Seems like this at first, since he goes around blowing up any golem he comes across, and has a severe grudge against them. In reality, he's just doing it to lure Kartikeya out.
- Failure Knight: It seems rather strange that a dangerous fugitive would join a bunch of kids. Then you find out that Dean reminds Greg of his dead son.
- Hammerspace: During cutscenes, he pulls his rifle out of nowhere — and puts it right back in there, too.
- I'll Kill You!: Says this to Kartikeya, after he kills Greg's family. Greg's threat just gets laughed at.
- Mr. Fanservice: Not only does he have the "sexy cowboy" theme going on, some of his alternate costumes remove his shirt entirely and replaces it with a long jacket and Sarashi. His Gallows-themed costume replaces his shirt with a short jacket.
- Perma-Stubble: Not a lot, but it's there. Players can usually see it in close-ups.
- Stone Wall: He initially seems to be a Mighty Glacier, being slow as molasses but coming in with a Sword Medium for the highest damage in the party, plus an ability and the defense to be pretty meaty. This damage off later on, but his defense never does. Set him up as a support tank with Moon or Mountain Mediums and you'll be great.
- Sword and Gun: The handle of his gun has a hidden blade in it. He'll only use it for special attacks though.
- Team Dad: The most mature of the group, and tries to take care of everybody. Especially fitting since he WAS a dad till his son died.
- Troubled Backstory Flashback: Often accidentally brought on by Dean.

Can be avoided if you're making use of the Black Market (as you spend character levels there) or if you give him a lot of Level Apples or a Hen Badge.

- Big Damn Heroes: Destroys the Hatred right as it's about to attack Dean.

- Boomerang Bigot: Volsung is fanatically dedicated to making sure nobody ever "crosses the wall" between Veruni and humans, despite himself being a Veruni/human hybrid and hence a living example of crossing the wall.
- Demonic Possession: By the Hatred.
- Evil Plan: Reformat the planet so it will stop rejecting Veruni and making them sick. Unfortunately this process will kill every human on the planet. Then at the end, Dean and co. discovers that was a lie — his real goal, fueled by the influence of the Hatred, is to create a World of Silence and kill off both races.

- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He wants to end racism between humans and Veruni. Violently.

- Odd Name Out: He's actually named after Alviss, a dwarf from Norse mythology. However, since they used the English derivative "Elvis," many players may think they named him after the singers.
