Rufus is an over-the-top communist who blames Amerika for all of Mother Russia's woes; he teaches history from a highly opinionated point of view. Whenever the children (mainly Major Midas' son) question why his version of history does not match their textbooks, he launches into a tirade about how ugly capitalist dogs printed those terrible manifestos and that they should all be burned in the center of the football field.

 

In between classes, Rufus trades vodka and sorrow with Marc Animus in the Teacher's Lounge. No current love interest - "If I wanted a woman, I would mail-order one." His classroom is always freezing. Rumored to be a vampire; desk doubles as a sarcophagus.
