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.
