Ladd Russo

Ladd Russo (ラッド・ルッソ) is a sadistic hitman for the Russo family. His love for acts of violence truly shows in the maniacal glee he exhibits while fighting or killing. He is exceptionally skilled in hand-to-hand combat--particularly boxing--and the use of firearms. Ladd is deeply in love with his fiancée, Lua, although he expresses it through a passionate promise to kill her someday.

He is one of the shaking forces present during the Flying Pussyfoot incident and responsible for several of the deaths that took place on it, though when arrested he pleads self-defense. He is jailed in Alcatraz regardless.

It is later revealed that one of the white suits that accompany him on the Flying Pussyfoot was a childhood friend of his, and that his fiancee was killed during their elopement at an earlier age, which may or may not be the source of his psychotic attitude.
