**Rulac Lombardi** is a main character of I Shall Master this Family! (manhwa).

## **Appearance**

Rulac has aged white/grey hair and a full white chin length beard and mustache.

## **Personality**

A strict but just person, that is willing to give everyone a fair chance. He hates when people interrupt a conversation.

## **History**

In the first timeline, he deeply regretted not seeing Florentia's true value and devotion to the Lombardi family.

### **Second Timeline**

The reason he didn't pay much attention to Tia in the first timeline was because her mother was a nomad. He confesses this to Clerivan in the second timeline, after witnesses Florentia's actions. He then asks Clerivan to take her into his class, even though she was too young for it, and evaluate her talents.

He thinks that it's possible that Florentia is the closest offspring he has that shares his "genes".

After Clerivan confirmed Tia's skills he informed Rulac that he suspects that the young girl had hidden her skills from everyone this whole time. He decides to observe Tia longer and tells Clerivan to keep him updated.

Moments later, Viese introduces Rulac to the merchant from the Dyurak Guild, and asks for the Lombardi help on long distance deliveries of textiles that are only sold in the eastern region of the capital. They also ask for a large loan for the purchases of the textiles. They seem to think this deal is a brilliant idea but he also notices that Clerivan is getting annoyed by the way they talk.

Croyton swears on his family's name that he will keep everything under control and that they have nothing to worry about.

Knowing full well that this proposal is lousy and would damage the family if it failed, he accepts it. He instructs his son, Viese, to fully oversee it without any mistakes. Viese promises to not let his father down and leaves with the merchant to discuss the details.

As they are about to walk out, Clerivan stops them and asks them to reconsider and to examine the logistics of this matter. He reminds that there is proper way to conduct business, and that they can't just buy something without properly examining the imported goods.

Rulac agrees with Clerivan and asks Croyton if that is ok with him. He happens to have some samples with him in the capital and promises to bring them with him next time.

When Viese and the merchant leave, Clerivan starts to question Rulac's decisions and reason, he begs him to reconsider.

Rulac asks him - if his daughter, Shananet, would have brought Rulac this same idea, how would Clerivan react.  Clerivan tells him that Shananet wouldn't even had brought up this ridiculous idea in the first place. Rulac agrees, but still wonders what his son is capable of.

Rulac was at a crossroad - one son was too excessive, the other is utterly useless, while the last is too timid to do anything. Out of four of his children, his daughter Shananet is probably the best suited to be the successor, but he has no faith in her spouse.

As the Patriarch, he has to stay out of their battle for succession, and that is why he has to fairly hand out opportunities. That's why he allowed this to happen, he wants to give a chance for the one child who actually wants to do something. He asks Clerivan to view this as a test for his son.

Clerivan reminds him that only recently, he had great expectations for Tia. Rulac tells Clerivan that her skills are still too uncertain and that she is awfully young for this.
