Before his reincarnation, he was a plump 34-year-old Japanese NEET who became a recluse following his high school persecution and dropout after being tormented by an upperclassman; although his family, friends and school peers encouraged him to return to school, he refused and pushed them all away. When his parents passed away twenty years later, he refused to attend their funeral, as a result, he was disowned by his siblings and kicked out of the family home, making him homeless; while wandering the streets, he spotted a truck headed towards a group of high school students crossing the street at high speed and ran over to save them; causing the truck to hit and kill him in the process.^{WN 1.P} After his reincarnation, he discards his past identity, and works hard to make his new life as Rudeus Greyrat more meaningful. As such, he adopts a gentleman persona, though his past life's perversion sometimes emerges and scares those around him. Since he retains his intelligence, Rudeus was able to start magic training at age 3, and learn how to cast magic without chanting. Due to this training, he has an abnormally large mana capacity. Because his magic teacher, Roxy Migurdia, helped him to overcome his fear of the outside world, he admires her and ties his accomplishments to her.^{WN 1.10} During his spare time, Rudeus makes figurines to enhance his earth magic, which has become his main offensive magic.

In Redundant Reincarnation Volume 3 (nicknamed "Jobless Red Carpet"), he genuinely developed a romantic relationship with Aisha at the time they were caught by Rudeus and leads to family crisis, causing them to elope elsewhere; Roxy was the only one who regretted their incident and eventually lets them go. The following year, he and Aisha are living in a cottage, where the latter was pregnant as a result of their relationship. After their sword fight and genuine love, Rudeus decided to forgive them with several conditions, one of which was that Ars had to continue his education and had to be old enough to propose to Aisha, along with their newborn child Leroy needs to stay in the household as Aisha departs to look forward in an uncertain future. Since several years later, Ars finally met Aisha again. He seems to have grown into a handsome and mature man and now he is ready to propose to Aisha as his wife.
