Russel Hobbs

Character from Gorillaz by Damon Albarn & Jamie Hewlett

The soulful, possessed drummer of Gorillaz — a gentle giant from Brooklyn whose body serves as a vessel for the spirits of his departed friends.

Also known as: Russel Hobbs, Russel, Russ, Big Russ

What They Know

His body is host to the spirits of his Brooklyn friends, killed in a drive-by — Del the Ghost Rapper is the most prominent
Was temporarily grown to enormous size during the Plastic Beach phase after absorbing radioactive ocean water or something similarly strange
Is by far the most grounded and emotionally stable member of the band
Has a genuine gift for cooking and often feeds the rest of the band whether they want to be fed or not
His drumming combines Brooklyn hip-hop precision with something that sounds like it's coming from multiple time signatures simultaneously
Deeply skeptical of Murdoc's spiritual claims but too polite to say so more than occasionally
Was born and raised in Rotten Hill, Brooklyn; moved to the UK after the shooting
The spirits within him can emerge during performances, giving his drumming an uncanny, collaborative quality
