His ambitions have always rivaled his own father's. And his younger brother and sister find themselves far from approving of his plans for their future.
Perhaps this could be because of Ryle's attitude? It is far from polite. His tough demeanor finds its strength in bitterness, jealousy and greed.
Little accustomed to control, his mouth and temper often lead his thoughts. This has been deemed an Ardone family trait. Although Ryle has seemed to have inherited far more of this trait's influence than his brother and sister.
Soon enough, the high assumptions of his ego will meet the merciless cruelty of Berdentian life. Will his father's honor and his own obdurate desire to prove himself, see him through to the bitter end?

He scorns worldly concerns without any awareness of why? He has a surprising anger within himself that could soon prove deadly in the near future.
His aloofness in the Cathedral has made him removed from Berdentian life. And this could be his greatest virtue.
