Rufus (Octopath Traveler)

Rufus is a minor villain in Octopath Traveller. he is the figurative "left wing" of the Crow Men with the image of a crow on his left arm. Rufus is one of the leading members of the Obsidians which the Crow Men as a whole rule over, a large criminal gang that murdered and bribed their way into power with Rufus helping to maintain and win over previously loyal men into their service. Rufus was also present during the murder of Primrose's father, which he remembers clear as day... and makes her Primrose's first target.

Synopnsis
Rufus is the leader of a whorehouse called the Obsidian Parlor. Rufus receives women from all across the country to prostitute out as sex slaves, keeping a personal harem himself while dealing with men like Helgenish to buy off charges and sell to pleasure whatever depraved whims his customers want. Arianna is one of these women, somberly relating how the only people who know about the parlor keep it secret in fear of Rufus' retribution. Rufus anticipates Primrose's arrival and is introduced shortly beforehand listening to the whim of a bishop he has in his pocket, who harbored an incestuous lust for his daughter, who was raped by a nobleman and committed suicide shortly after. To slake the man's lusts? Rufus decides to give Arianna to the Bishop to soothe his lust for as long as he wants. Primrose comes in shortly after and Rufus quickly recognizes her, mocking her over her father's death and engaging in battle with her. Rufus is struck down, but even with his last breath, Rufus taunts her that she'll find a dark secret in her old hometown.
