Rufus Whedon

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.

Rufus was born to Ellie Whedon, and presumably her boyfriend, Gil. As he grew up, Rufus' mental disorder added stress to Ellie and Gil's relationship, and eventually his father left, joining the military.[1] Rufus continued to be raised by his mother, and his abusive grandmother, Candice Whedon.
