Rubens is the Jumi of Ruby, and was born in the [[Bejeweled City]] along with his fellow comrades. Like all Jumi Knights, he was paired up with his undisclosed Guardian, although it is strongly hinted to be [[Diana]]. Under the command of Diana, the Jumi of Diamond, the clan waged war against the [[Deathbringer]]'s army and used Florina as her tears would replenish their ranks indefinitely. Later on, following the tragic hunting of the Jumis during the search of the seventh [[Mana Stone]], most of the jewel folk died by lessening their energy flow through their core to protect the secrets of their clan. Mages were also after the Jumi's cores due to alleged rumors about them harboring rare mystical proprieties. The remaining Jumi population left their homeland of Etancel, the Bejewled City and concealed their identities to the best of their abilities. | Rubens is the Jumi of Ruby, and was born in the [[Bejeweled City]] along with his fellow comrades.

Concealing his identity as the Jumi of Ruby, Rubens fled to the [[Gatto Grottoes]] where he was hired as the temple's guardian of the flame. He was separated from his girlfriend during the evacuation and gave up on locating her. This event and the depleting Jumi population left him deeply depressed and nihilistic. | |||

A while later, the Jumi of Ruby is seen with the same Nun and Sproutling on the aforementioned cliff. The leafy creature still begging for his [[Popo Bug]] to be removed, the Nun reveals that insects like these can cure nearly every ailments, making them a rare and expensive find. She asks Rubens if he wants to revive her petrified girlfriend but the Jumi Knight replies he doesn't want to hurt anyone, as extracting the bug from the Sproutling could be painful. The Nun scolds him for being too soft and not being able to protect anyone. | A while later, the Jumi of Ruby is seen with the same Nun and Sproutling on the aforementioned cliff.

hen the Hero and Elazul speak to him again, Rubens is the one to ask if Elazul was a Jumi, to which he responds that he is not only a Jumi, but also the Jumi Knight of Lapis Lazuli, leading to Elazul guessing if Rubens was the Jumi Knight of Ruby. Rubens then chastises Elazul for revealing his identity; people would still be hunting the cores of any living Jumi. Elazul then says that he is looking for any living Jumi so he can reform the Jumi race once more. Rubens then questions Elazul's intentions, and Elazul says that it was only the natural thing to do. Rubens then calls Elazul's intentions stupid for thinking this. Elazul tries to tell Rubens that in other human's eyes, they looked like nothing more than living, breathing, balls of jewelry which is why Elazul is trying to reform the race. Rubens then grows tired of these shenanigans, and says if they had enough of the tomfoolery, to which Elazul decides not to waste his breath on a lost cause anymore. Elazul then tells the Hero/Heroine to not tell [[Pearl]] about Rubens as it would worsen her condition. | |||
Returning to the cliff after witnessing the incident inside the Temple of Healing, the Nun discloses to Rubens her intention of taking the Popo Bug for herself. Seeing his unbothered reaction angers her, and she retorts be calling him callous for not being considerate about his girlfriend in Geo. Rubens is taken aback at the fact the Nun knows his sweetheart's whereabouts, and asks her how she knows about it. She doesn't answer, making Rubens press the question further. She replies by asking if she can take the bug is he doesn't want it and he complies. The Nun claims he doesn't care about the Sproutling dying or his girlfriend sleeping forever. The Jumi Knight replies he doesn't want to interfere on anybody's life nor does he wants to be stepped on either. It a fit of anger, the Nun knocks Rubens over, shouting she wants to see him shed tears. He replies he cannot, which makes the Nun rip his core from his chest. She is impressed to see him alive, but escapes before Inspector Boyd makes it in time. Boyd accuses the main character from wounding the Jumi but Rubens replies that it was the Nun who did it. The inspector finds out she must be Sandra in disguise and storms off. The Ruby Knight states he wanted to see Diana again in his dying breath, and passes away. | Returning to the cliff after witnessing the incident inside the Temple of Healing, the Nun discloses to Rubens her intention of taking the Popo Bug for herself.
