Rudolph Barrett

Rudolph Barrett is a fictional character in the DraconianVerse franchise created by Saúl Saavedra H. for Draconian Games. Barrett is depicted as a brave member of the Shining Knights, warriors who serve the king of England, Henry VIII of the House Tudor. When he was just 10, he met both Phillip Anderson, whom he was considered as his only friend, and Gretchen Eillan, the Scottish witch girl who frequently pokes fun of him for being initially fat. His father, the legendary knight Gerard Barrett, died while fighting Deathstructor, leaving him living with his widowed mother Elizabeth. At age 24, Rudolph was ordered to partake in a hate war against the foreigners so they can spread the Tudor Way, and while he refused, his friend Phillip didn't after the latter raped and killed two girls and was executed as a result. Disgusted with the result, he left the group, and without a job, he felt that the Deathopian invasion was coming, and convinced a few knights who didn't commit the hate crimes to join forces as an independent unit, while also he had to deal with Phillip, who's now resurfaced as Shadoz, Deathstructor's top enforcer. After the battle, he and Gretchen became a couple. Two years later, knowing that the world needs heroes, assembles a squadron of warriors from around the world called the BeastKnights in response for Horocron declaring the war in the time-space continuum with the latter's evil warriors, the KnightHunters. After receiving a distress call from the year 2022 by the Colonel Mack Strong, he travels to the present time, and is surprised to see that one of his reliable partners, Iron Crusher, is still operating in the modern era, and discovers that he has a teenage descendant in the rookie Kelly Barret.

In English, he's voiced by British actor Elijah Wood, better known for his role as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy; in Japanese, he's voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama; and in Mexican Spanish, he's voiced by Víctor Ugarte.

Powers

 * Ictiokinesis - He can generate light powers from his sword and shield, later upgraded into his shielded sword forged by Roderick O'Hara.

 * Inner Spirit - He can become one with Dragolux, donning a Dragon-themed armor which switches the colors to gold and white, and the wings replacing the cape, which allows the knight to fly freely and gain light-themed slashes.

Fighting Style and Gameplay
Rudolph's class is Knight, wielding at first a sword and shield, later changed into a shielded sword, and his Animal Spirit is Dragolux, a golden dragon capable of launching light breaths, and can soar in the skies higher than any conventional fantasy dragon. He's one of the most balanced characters in the series, as he has a set of specials that are easy to use yet hard to master in combos.

Finally, the dragon lets the opponent fall down slowly as Rudolph prepares his shielded sword to attack and then does a leaping vertical slash to his opponent, slicing him/her in two vertical halves, but without blood/oil leaking. Eventually, the knight lands to the ground alongside with both separated halves of his opponent falling down to the death. This Fatality is classified as a Spiritual Murder Act. (BKII)
