In the year 590,<ref>[[Timeline of Archanea, Valentia and Jugdral]]</ref> Rudolf travelled to [[Ram Village]] in secret to visit the former Zofian knight [[Mycen]], now an exile protecting [[Celica]] from [[Desaix]].

Rudolf is the final boss of Alm's route in [[Land of Sorrow (Gaiden)|Chapter 4]] of ''Gaiden'', fought at Rigel Castle. He is incapable of actually harming [[Alm]], instead displaying the message "Why won't Rudolf attack?"; curiously, he can still initiate rounds of combat with Alm in the enemy phase, but will not actually strike him and instead leaves himself wide open to Alm's counter-attacking.

==Personality and character==
==Personality==
Rudolf saw the ruinous state of Valentia induced by the strong influence of the gods, and in response sought to rescue Valentia from itself by ridding it of their influence. To this end, he instigated a conflict with himself as the archvillain, sacrificing himself to spark the rise of heroes capable of fighting back, defeating him and unifying the continent without the influence of the gods.<ref>{{Cite|It was due to the gods that this land Valentia came to be divided into North and South. And in doing so they mistakenly involved themselves too deeply with the concerns of mankind. As a result, the people of Zofia forgot the meaning of toil, and the people of Rigel forgot the meaning of leisure. As things were, we would all certainly come to ruin. It was due to such considerations that Rudolf took it upon himself to become a destroyer, to instigate the appearance of true heroes in the land. For the sake of creating a new era, he decided to become a sacrificial piece. And to meet the hero who would bring about his defeat, even if it were his own child, he could not have been happier...|[[Mycen]]|Gaiden}}</ref> He was fiercely determined to achieve his goal, completely accepting of this self-condemnation.<ref name="sick fires" /> In spite of the atrocities committed under his rule by his commanders, he cared for the welfare of his subjects, entreating them to survive beyond his rule in Alm's company.<ref name="soldiers" /> Rudolf is shown to treat his nephew Berkut sternly and harshly, and outright calls him a weakling to his face before marching out to battle Alm. His guard captain [[Massena]] claims that he truly loved Berkut and regretted that his plan to save Valentia would inevitably hurt him.{{citation needed}}

|blurb2=Rudolf is a peerless military leader with numerous victories to his name. I hear he's battled his way through a number of strict, stuffy ceremonies too, so I expect the breezy festivities of the Day of Devotion will be a refreshing experience for him!
|blurb3=The two daggers he's carrying were gifts from his son, Alm, and his nephew, Berkut. It's no coincidence that both daggers look the same—I'm told this was done on purpose to keep Berkut from getting grumpy…
