Carbon Costume

Ruvik (voiced in Japanese by Toshihiko Seki and in English by Jackie Earle Haley) is the main antagonist in The Evil Within/Psycho Break, the first game in the series. If you would like to see him at an earlier point in the story, here’s the costume guide for him as a child.

The game centers around what became of his mind after several years of abuse and manipulation at the hands of both his family, and the doctors that tried to take advantage of his family and the research he was doing under their name. He becomes a very interesting take on a typical ‘villain’ character in the series, as he is foremost a victim of the system that he hoped to become a part of someday.

Due to the intense burns all over his body from the fire he was trapped in when he was a child, his outfit is very loose and unrestricting. His eyes are a clouded over gold, and all of the hair on his body was burned away. In addition to the burns, he has a clear plate stitched on to the side of the top of his head, and his brain is visible through it. The minimal clothes he has are an extremely tattered pair of formerly white pants that he wears fully unbuttoned/unzipped, and a long white hooded robe, in equal disrepair.

Ruben Victoriano is the child form of the main antagonist of the horror game The Evil Within, Ruvik, and is voiced by Jackie Earle Haley.

As a child, Ruben was a very withdrawn person, only really close with his older sister Laura, and was a prodigy in terms of psychotherapy studies. When Laura died saving him from the fire that had been set upon their family barn, Ruben was locked away due to his subsequent injuries and mental break, which caused him to spiral farther and farther until he ended up murdering his parents in a fit of madness and retaliation, taking their fortune to further his own psychological research.

Ruben as a child had short light blonde hair, very light blue eyes, and wore a white button-up shirt, a black vest over top, black slacks, brown oxford shoes, and a deep red tie that matched Laura’s dress.
