Rudolph Jefferson (Renegade Universe)

Jefferson drinking his favorite soft drink, root beer

**Rudolph Christopher Jefferson** (born December 25, 2000) is an American actor, singer, pianist and composer who is a version of the legendary Christmas figure Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer edited to be an anthropomorphic, shirtless and muscular version of him. A member of the Renegade Animals since 2021, he plays piano and directs the orchestra on recordings for the team's rock band.

Rudolph was born on a frigid Christmas Day night in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, and was raised on the North End as a four legged reindeer with a red nose that he uses as a flashlight. He is currently attending New Princeton University in Matthew City, pursuing a master's degree in media and entertainment. He is in a relationship with Zoey Jackson and talks with her over FaceTime occasionally while she occasionally flies to the Animals' base to visit him. He works with Santa Claus at Santa's Workshop New Princeton during the Christmas season, and is a normal citizen after Christmas. As a teenager he woke up one morning to find out that his body completely changed to that of an anthropomorphic animal. He threw off his blanket and decided to go to the clothing store to find a good pair of pants and some sneakers. He bought a pair of blue jeans, some brown boots and a black belt with a yellow buckle, opting for a casual shirtless look.

Rudolph is 6' 4", making him the second-tallest member of the team behind Rocket, but just ahead of Falco and Fox. He is a big fan of root beer and he says that he's basically "drunk on it" as he downs two giant bottles of A&W, his favorite brand of root beer, every day with his lunch and dinner. He once accidentally squeezed a bottle of root beer into the face of his brother Dan after he started chuckling when he told a joke in the base's bar, splashing the two and the walls of the bar in root beer. They ended up getting their bodies all covered and sticky, so Rudolph let Dan shower on the third floor while he decided to clean himself up in the underwater basement. He first stripped himself bare, lathered himself in soap, turned on his nose flashlight and swam down to the white room with the glass ceiling, where he rubbed his body while he blew air bubbles for 15 minutes. He then swam laps around the room for another 15 minutes before exiting and returning to the main floor. He then dried himself off before throwing his pants in the hamper in the laundry room. A naked Rudolph then quickly ran to his room while grasping his belly to put on a new pair of pants along with a belt and some brown boots.

As he is a big fan of sports, Rudolph watches Hard Knocks on Matthew TV (the HBO and NFL Films show's home in the Matthewian Republic) and Max, and a lot of MLB Network and NFL Network. He is a fan of the New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox. He is also just as athletic as Yoshi, as he swims, runs and jumps at similar speeds.

Rudolph is another person who leaves the shirt out of his wardrobe as a way to show his muscular body, joining Ratchet, Tom, Rocket, Fox and Falco in following Nick Wilde's shirtless male animal trend for those who wear pants. He is also known for wearing a necklace sporting his first and last initials in red and green. He doesn't wear it in his secondary everyday outfit, in which he wears the jeans and brown shoes he had as a teen, when he discovered his reformed anthropomorphic body.
