Rundelhaus

Rundelhaus Kode, also known as Rudy, is one of the People of the Earth in the world of Theldesia. He is a Human Sorcerer-Adventurer and is currently a member of Log Horizon. Originally posing as an ordinary, if eccentric, Adventurer, he joins the Summer Training Camp and is assigned to Touya's Party. During the defense of Choushi Town, he reveals himself as a Person of the Earth when he sacrifices his life to defeat a Dire Wolf. However, thanks to Shiroe's timely intervention, he is turned into a pseudo-adventurer and joins the guild as a link between the Adventurers and the People of the Earth.

He has also participated in the Shibuya Raid Team and Akiba Guild Hall Raid Party. At the start of the story, Rundelhaus comes across as a brash and boastful person with a bit of a narcissistic streak. He has a habit of using extravagant phrases when being especially flamboyant, making the rest of his party conclude he was a rich pampered kid in the old world. However, in spite of these off-putting traits, he is genuinely hardworking and thoughtful about his combat abilities.

The reason behind his boastful nature (like thinking that being level 23 is high) and the significance behind his participation at the summer training camp is revealed during the defense of Choushi Town. Rundelhaus is not an Adventurer, but a Person of the Earth—he thus naturally has much lower EXP gain, lower innate combat ability, and most importantly, cannot revive after death.

Having grown up in a corrupt noble family, Rundelhaus' frustration with them made him choose to emulate the freedom and righteousness he saw in Adventurers. To this end, he risked death several times during the party's attempts at Ragranda Dungeon; he even takes an arrow to his skull in their first battle (toned down to catching the arrow between his fingers in the anime). Despite repeated failures, near-death experiences, and the exhaustion he endures, he never falters and vows to train even harder until they can succeed.

His determination, resolve, and desire to protect the People of the Earth culminate in his self-sacrifice during the defense of Choushi, when he leaps at a dire wolf, gets his arm bitten by the dire wolf, and then explodes the dire wolf from the inside of its mouth, being hit by the blast as well, dying, but then being brought back to life. This event, however, is also what fulfills his dream when Shiroe saves his life using the information he recently gleaned from Li Gan regarding the Spirit Theory. Now both an Earthling and an Adventurer, his unique status proves invaluable for relations between the two groups later in the story.

Out of all of the Log Horizon members, while he loves them all, he seems to get along with Isuzu the best, with Touya a close second. However, he also is confused by Isuzu's treatment of him, wondering if her hitting him constantly is an Adventurer custom that he doesn't understand. Also, he has a crush on Isuzu.
