In 1181 of non-Crimson Flower routes, Rufus is murdered by Cleobulus, who framed Dimitri for his murder as means of destabilizing the Kingdom. In 1178, Rufus also encouraged Dimitri to suppress a rebellion in Western Kingdom territory in another failed attempt to get him killed, and it's also suspected that prior assassination attempts that affected Dimitri were his doing. His temporary rule was jeopardized by rumors the he was complicit with the tragedy in order to claim the throne for himself, as well by the rampant thievery that affected the Kingdom, to the extent many subjects asked Dimitri to claim the throne before he reached adulthood, but refrained in fear his ascension would divide the kingdom. After his brother's death, Rufus assumed the role of the Kingdom's regent, as Dimitri was too young to assume the throne. In Imperial year 1176, Rufus conspired with Cleobulus (posing as Faerghus's court mage Cornelia Arnim), Patricia, and other kingdom nobles unhappy with Lambert's reforms to cause the Tragedy of Duscur, which seemingly left his nephew and Faerghus's crown prince Dimitri as the sole survivor, much to his chagrin. As Lambert possessed a Crest that Rufus did not, his younger brother was preferred in the line of succession Rufus was granted the title of Grand Duke of Itha, and Lambert inherited the crown of the kingdom. Rufus was the firstborn son of House Blaiddyd in Faerghus and older brother of Lambert.
