Pierre Ruryk (ピエール・リューリック, Piēru Ryūrikku) is one of the Salvator Faction's representative members of the Galaxy Federation Parliament, who had entered the political world having been newly elected to the Vartas star-system district in T.C. 4748. Because of handsome features, he excels at collecting swing-votes, but there are many criticisms that he lacks political ability. He is devoted to the Kukai Foundation, especially Gaignun Kukai, and does not hold back assistance.

Pierre Ruryk is an added character from Xenosaga I & II. During the Episode I portion of the game he gives an impassioned speech to the Executive Committee during the U-TIC Organization's attempt to frame the Kukai Foundation for the destruction of the Woglinde. His intervention gives crucial time for the Foundation and allows Shion Uzuki and her friends to recover the data from KOS-MOS' Encephalon, which proves the Foundation's innocence.

During the Episode II portion, he speaks with Citrine and Dmitri Yuriev (after he possesses Gaignun) about the Salvator Faction's fleet preparations.

Trivia[]

  • In theme with other legendary namesakes in the series (such as the Durandal), the surname "Ruryk" may be a reference to the Varangian chieftain Rurik (Рю́рик), whose story is told in the Tale of Bygone Years, aka Primary Chronicle. The work recounts the history of Kievan Rus' beginning with biblical times, and more specifically the Deluge, likely due to its reputed author, the monk Nestor, writing in the tradition of other Christian chroniclers. Rurik is considered the founder of the Rurik Dynasty and ruled alongside his two brothers, Sineus and Truvor, who died shortly after the establishment of their territories, after which Rurik consolidated these lands into his own territory.
