Added DiffLines:

* TragicMonster: In contrast to the psychopaths that make up the rest of the antagonists, Rudi has a heart, and feels compassion. Unfortunately for humankind, the trauma of his childhood means he is literally incapable of extending this compassion to other human beings. It gives the impression that, had he grown up in a less abusive environment, he wouldn't have become the AxeCrazy monster who needs to be put down that you meet in game.

* SurvivalMantra: A very mild example, with "Count to four, inhale. Count to four, exhale". He teaches it to Wyatt when he's going through a panic attack, and uses it himself at the end of New Order's prologue when making his SadisticChoice.

* ArtShift: In ''Wolfenstein'', he looks almost nothing like his ''Return to Castle Wolfenstein'' incarnation (and, by extension, his classic ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'' appearance), which is somewhat odd as all the other returning characters appear largely the same (other than a higher polycount and bump-mapping, of course). He seems to be based on the ''[=Wolf3D=]'' cover art rather than the actual in-game sprite. In ''The New Order'', however, his appearance is directly modeled after his in-game sprite in ''Wolfenstein 3D'', and bears a passing resemblance to Brock Lesnar.
