Upon his father's death, he was placed in the care of his first cousin, the Regent Thomas. His uncle Mleh entered the kingdom at the head of an army from Aleppo . Thomas fled to Antioch and left Ruben in the care of the Catholicos St. Nerses IV at Hromgla , but was murdered by agents of Mleh in 1169, and the young Ruben a year later.

Upon Ruben's death, Mleh became Lord of the Mountains.
