With unkempt auburn hair, Rod wears the standard Turk uniform of black suit with black tie, white undershirt and brown boots.

A cocky and headstrong ex-bike gang member, Rod's arrogance due to constantly defeating anyone he came up against influenced his decision to attempt to steal from the Shinra. He was humbled with the Turks' arrival who showed him he was not as strong as he had thought. Now working as a Turk, Rod intends to become the best by working with the best, harboring aspirations of assuming leadership of the group one day.

Like Reno, Rod's speech is informal, casually addressing everyone in the same crude way no matter their status, a habit that irritates Gun. Rod is an expert in the area of maintenance and repair of motorcycles, and is a skilled driver.

Rod spent his time getting into turf wars with other gangs and riding about on various stolen motorbikes. Made the leader of his gang at the age of 18, Rod towering self-confidence allowed the members of his gang to place full trust in their young leader. Having come so far and never knowing defeat, he lived life with the certainty nothing could take him down. It was that sense of pride that prompted him to test out his skills by trying to steal a motorbike from the Shinra garage.

Rod was caught and arrested by Reno. Recognizing his skills could be used to aid the Turks, Veld offered Rod a place in his organization.
