==Etymology==
Ruferu may be derived from the English word "ruffle," referring to the feathers of an owl. Both his Japanese and Chinese names are also one character off from the spellings of "Lucifer" which have been used in more recent Persona games, ルシフェル (Rushiferu) / 路西菲尔 (Lù xī fēi ěr).
Ruferu's code name, "Cattle," is a reference to , on who his Persona is based. MacGregor was a cattle dealer who operated an extralegal protection racket over the cattle herds of Scotland's lower gentry, which he used to provide for the families of his tenants and clansmen. During a time when cattle theft and operating protection rackets were common ways to earn a living, MacGregor became a respected cattleman. When he borrowed a large sum to increase his own cattle herd but was forced to default on the loan when the person he entrusted with his money disappeared, he was branded an outlaw and his family was evicted from their home, which was then burned down entirely.
His code name in Japanese (キャトル, kyatoru) means the English word "Cattle," but is also the Japanese representation for the French word Quatrelle, which is the spoken aloud alternate name for the Renault 4 or 4L. The Renault 4 is a small economy car produced by the French automaker Renault between 1961 and 1994, which serves as the basis of the vehicle Ruferu can transform into.
