Russell Stone

Russell Stone is the titular protagonist of The Shivah (and the kosher edition).
He is a hard-hearted Rabbi in Manhattan, New York City, who is experiencing a crisis of faith compounded by his synagogue's declining membership and financial woes. He is portrayed as a flawed character with a difficult past and is suspected of being involved in the murder of former synagogue member Jack Lauder due to an acrimonious falling out between the two.
Stone is determined to clear his name and uncover the truth about Jack's murder. He is shown to be persistent and determined, going to great lengths to investigate and solve the crime. As the game progresses, Stone's character evolves, becoming less cynical of his faith and more open to the possibility of forgiveness and redemption.
