Rufus Whedon is the son of Ellie Whedon, and a friend of Bode Locke. He has an unspecified mental disorder, and is affected by the Keys in different ways than anyone else.
History
Rufus was born to Ellie Whedon, and presumably her boyfriend, Gil. As he grew up, his mental disorder added stress to Ellie and Gil's relationship, and eventually he left. Rufus continued to be raised by his mother, and his abusive grandmother, Candice Whedon.
Alpha
Rufus returned to Lovecraft and arrived at Keyhouse during Dodge's attack. He was nearly killed by a shadow, but was saved by Nina Locke, who apologized to him for his injury and institutionalization for trying to stop Dodge.[1]
