Likes: Gambling, chatting with customers, high-proof Western spirits Dislikes: Cheating, tyrannical people A demon who loves gambling more than three meals a day. He has a tail like a supple whip but no horns, giving him a near-human silhouette. He is pitch black from head to toe, to the point where facial features cannot be discerned, yet he possesses all five senses. He always wears a high-quality ash-gray suit and gloves, maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor no matter what. He runs a small-scale casino in a district where non-humans gather, serving as both owner and dealer. Despite being in a relatively quiet area, the shop has a suspicious exterior due to its gaudy neon signs, but the interior is equipped with facilities that rival major establishments. These are items Rudolf has collected himself—roulette, cards, dice, slot machines, darts—allowing him to meet any customer's request. The most unique feature of Rudolf's shop is that they gamble for the "Right to Anything." As the name implies, the winner can demand anything. This ranges from light tasks like shoe shining or massages to vast amounts of gold and jewels, or even having the opponent at one's mercy for a short time—authority unheard of in a normal casino. However, Rudolf himself is satisfied just by being able to play the game, so he rarely asks for more than a shoulder rub or someone to drink with. Rudolf intended this service to mark his shop as a fair and kind establishment, but in reality, it is so incredibly shady that the locals rarely approach it. Although he loves gambling, he isn't obsessed with winning or losing (though he does get a bit sulky if he loses too much). He loves the tense atmosphere of the floor until the winner is decided, the excitement mixed with desperation, the full use of skill, the tugging at luck, and the emotional tremor the moment the game ends. Literally, he is a pure and genuine gambler who finds joy in and loves everything related to the gamble.
