The pivotal moment of Rockstar's Bully is Gary's betrayal of Jimmy. Your character's sociopathic "friend" sets you up to become the target of all the school's cliques, most notably the Bullworth Academy bullies.

The King of Bullies, a massive but not too bright brute named Russell, is the recurring antagonist in the early stages of the game, and the first act culminates in an intense boss fight with him.

The duel is one of the most difficult encounters in the game, but winning it is definitely worth the effort because afterward, Russell can become your friend.

Yes, once you defeat Russell, the boy will respect your strength and become your personal bodyguard.

As you might imagine, it's quite a treat to have the biggest and scariest bully in school as your personal bodyguard. He’s one of the best companions in the game, as he’s the only student in the school who can take out teachers and other adults.

If you ask Russell to follow you, you can do practically anything you want without fear of being caught by the patrolling Prefects.

They can’t give you detention if Russell breaks their legs, right?
