** It seems to stem from the fact that the price of his survival was having TheMasquerade forcibly broken for him; he couldn't remotely handle it and has retreated into denial with an insistence that verges on lunatic. It doesn't do much, if anything, to take away what a foul little toad of a man he is.

* DirtyCoward
* FaceHeelTurn: Rudolph is introduced in ''Fool Moon'' as a rookie justifiably scared by the loup-garou rampaging around in the next room.

* CuteBruiser

Murphy looks like someone's favorite aunt. She's five feet even and has blond hair, blue eyes, and a cute nose. Unfortunately for the bad guys, she's a lot more dangerous than she looks; she's a cop with some serious martial arts skills and enough stubbornness and ingenuity to really inconvenience anyone who annoys her. When she was reassigned to the Special Investigations department, a political death sentence, she responded by taking the department and helping it to become a lot more effective. Since SI got all the cases involving, say, vampire attacks, trolls eating people, or the results of some other sort of magical mayhem, this meant her most effective step was probably hiring Harry. Initially distrusting of Harry (albeit considering him a capable asset to her unit), their relationship has grown and strengthened throughout the series into a best-friendship with a heaping helping of UnresolvedSexualTension.
