Russ Sharek

Russ Sharek has been described by reliable sources as wiser than a rubber duck, a zen fool, a benevolent super villain, a talentless hack, a magical f***ing wizard, a misanthropic community leader, a clown (grand)father figure and an Impish Cabaret Rasputin.

Each of these facts is true.
