**Roquefort** is one of the antagonists in Hi-Fi Rush. Charged with financing at Vandelay Technologies, Roquefort is the penultimate boss of the game.

## Profile

"*Every missing dollar, every incidental expense, every bit of bad rounding-up...not a single cent gets past the finance team, led by the penny-pinching Roquefort

Don't assume Roquefort's role as a "numbers guy" means he takes things lying down. When it comes to protecting his company's bottom line, the claws come out.*"
―Character profile on the Hi-Fi Rush website

## Appearance

Roquefort appears as a dark-skinned elderly man, having a bald spot with black hair curving out to his sides. Alongside a monocle, Roquefort wears a dark purple vest with a red-and-pink tie and yellow suspenders. Roquefort appears as the most-modified human out of the leaders in Vandelay Technologies, having noticeable adjustments on his heads and arms. However during battle he can easily transform himself into a huge robotic werewolf.

## Personality

Roquefort has a notorious reputation in his office, being described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing", literally. Roquefort also appears to be quick to anger especially if budget proposals are the subject, though he keeps a composed exterior while in public. Based on the decoration of his office, Roquefort seems to be fascinated with the world's equivalent to Japanese culture. While he can be a greedy penny-pinching economist, he is incredibly loyal to Kale because he saved him from death, for that he owes him, so anyone who wants to get to or hurt Kale, has to answer to him.

## History

Before the events of the game, Roquefort was one of the world's leading economists, but had to retire early because of his health. He was on his deathbed caused by an incurable illness, until Kale saved him, leading to his current appearance and position on the company.

## Trivia

* Roquefort's boss theme is a remix of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, the appropriately chosen *Wolf*gang's 5th Symphony. The Streamer Mode version, *The Fizzith*, is a different remix of the same symphony.
	+ Roquefort is the only boss to lack any guitar or similar rock instruments on his tracks, possibly representing his sheer advantage during the fight.
* It is unknown how much of Roquefort's original body remains, as even his head has artificial implants.
* Both he and Zanzo don't get along due to financial differences. Roquefort cares about profits, while Zanzo cares about his creations, regardless of the cost, and believes the former fakes the statistics.
* When using 808's "Steal the Show" Special Ability to stun Roquefort, he replies: *"Aaw, such cuteness! My rage is weakened!"*
* Following the naming-convention of characters being named after food, he is named after a blue cheese made from sheep-milk.
	+ This also doubled as foreshadowing a major twist in his boss fight, when Korsica describes a rumor surrounding Roquefort's presence as a "wolf in a sheep's clothing".
* Roquefort's English voice actor is Maori and this is reflected in his accent, though it is unknown if there is a New Zealand equivalent on the game's world.
* Roquefort's Japanese voice-actor is known for voicing many intimidating characters (mostly villains and anti-heroes), as well as devices for the *Kamen-Rider-*series (Rouze and Gaia-Memory-systems), and only had two on-screen-live-action-movie-appearances.
