As a student in Bigby's Wizarding Academy, Ruckus was always trying to prove himself to be worth the respect of his peers, even when no one was belittling him. He figured because of his small stature, no one would take him seriously as a wizard. He lashed out, especially at another Gnome Wizard named Beleren.
