Among those who've gotten to know him, Russell is generous, gregarious, loyal, and surprisingly charming. Those close to him, sadly, also get to know his less laudable traits: an easily-manipulated guilt complex, overthinking things, an inconsistently-resisted tendency towards self-pity, and easily lapsing into old vices (i.e., heavy drinking, smoking, and sex) when under stress. He still believes strongly in the Toronto Police Service motto -- "To Serve and Protect" -- and while he has managed to temper this ideal somewhat with a pragmatic understanding of the secret world, he has proven unable (or unwilling) to abandon it. This "knight in shining armor" tendency both adds to his likability and gets him in hot water. Sometimes, it does both simultaneously. | Among those who've gotten to know him, Russell is generous, gregarious, loyal, and surprisingly charming.

− | Russell's hobbies include reading (both fiction and history), clubbing, bad movies and their subculture (i.e., Mystery Science Theater 3000 and its derivatives), “geek” culture, music (both listening to and performing), and time spent with family and friends. | + | Russell's hobbies include reading (both fiction and history), clubbing, bad movies and their subculture (i.e., ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' and its derivatives), “geek” culture, music (both listening to and performing), and time spent with family and friends. |
