Rudy

Past Timeline


Rudy is a war orphan and was raised by his foster parent, the director of the Luxtov Orphanage along with childhood friend and fellow orphan named Ariel. Rudy joined the army in hopes of becoming a knight, and there he met Kris during his time in the knight's academy. Initially both were polar opposites of each other due to their opposing personalities, but recognize each other in terms of skills. Being inspirational to one another, their constant strive for greatness led to a friendly rivalry. The two soon stood out and displayed amazing talent despite of their age. Rudy was an honor student and so was Kris.

Despite being friends with each other, an evil scheme was formed by the nobles. The fight for the representative of Seat of Light. the rivalry became a representation between commoners and nobles, Rudy for the commoners and Kris for the nobles. As the time drew near, they learned that in order to get the Seat of Light one must be defeated and one must remain a victor. Because of this Rudy distanced himself in fear of losing their cherished friendship. In the match for representative Rudy purposefully loses to Kris, after the orphanage director tells him the sponsorship come from nobles. The nobles threatened him that if Rudy won then they would cut down all their expenses for the orphanage. Rudy lost to Kris and was not upset or bothered. Kris realized the scheme was all made from the nobles' dirty tricks. The nobles did not want a commoner to hold the Seat of Light or Academy representative position.

Rudy once again appears in late Season 4 where he encounters Reginleif. Reginleif explains to him that his ancestors, heavenly beings, went down to Gaia world to stop the other heavenly people who were starting a war and stealing the power of Gaia.

 * Unlike Korea server, Rudy was the last Seven Knights to awaken in global server.

 * His mythical awakening was hinted in Korea where his regular portrait showed myth awakening stars. He was then revealed early March through a pre-registration event.
 * He won an awakening poll in global, beating even Yui who didn't have an awakening in korea server.
 * Dev Spike revealed that Rudy suddenly grew white wings when he prayed to the light after agonizing about his duty and responsibility he would carry as a knight of lightness. The people around him were amazed and hailed him as a warrior chosen by light. Rudy is still thought to be a human, his wings not being a genetic trait but rather a symbol of his trust in the light (hence why they change) Kris’ wings indicate his acceptance to the power of the devil as Rudy indicates his acceptance of light.
