- "That...that's not what...power's for! Mom always told me...you can't threaten people or hurt people just because you're stronger than they are! And Dad always said--you're supposed to use your strength to protect people, not to harm them!"

Ted Russelberg is a minor character from Wild Arms 5, the long-deceased son of Greg Russelberg and his late wife Mary Russelberg and the grandson of Joseph. He is only seen and heard in a flashback, where his family is being menaced by Kartikeya in their hometown of Gounon, where he is bravely shielding his mother with his own body and preaching to Kartikeya about strength before being gunned down. Over the course of the story, Greg finds a surrogate son in Dean Stark, who he likes to believe is the kind of person Ted would have grown up to be like. He is voiced by Mona Marshall.[2]
