In [[Pokémon Special]], Norman is the father of {{Special|Ruby}}, and his wife is nameless. He is a man who believes in power and he is very skillful in battling. Because of that, he strongly disagreed with Ruby's obsession with [[Contest|contests]]. When Ruby reaches his 11th birthday, however, he decided that Ruby is old enough to make his decision and finally let him has his own way.

Physically, he is so strong that he can squeeze a phone receiver into pieces without an effort, and he won't hesitate to use this strength on his son when he deems necessary. However, he still cares for Ruby very much: He asked his wife to arrange their move to [[Hoenn]] on the date of Ruby's birthday so that he can tell him about his permission for Ruby to take part in contests in person. He also prepared a pair of special running shoes made by [[Devon Corporation]] for his birthday. Later, he also gave a [[Pokéblock]] holder to Ruby.

There are several hints from the series showing Norman had had unpleasant encounters with the Pokémon Association. The beginning of all could possibly be traced back to 7 years prior to the start of the Ruby/Sapphire Saga, where Norman failed his Gym Leader Test in [[Johto]].
