Rudy was the father of Archie and husband to Sandra Riley. While he appeared to be a friendly and charming person, the truth was that he was a manipulative, selfish, cold, and crude pedophile. It is possible he only married Sandra just to have a victim in Archie. Sandra didn't appear to see, for a bit, that Rudy was molesting their son and was most likely taking child pornography and would put the photos on a website. Due to his wife's busy schedule, he had full access to Archie and eventually groomed his son as access for his sexual abuse. The brainwashing had sunk so deep into Archie that he actually saw his father's abuse as affection. In 1998, he bought Kyle Bream off his uncle Eddie for drug money.
