From left to right: Anna, Rudolph and Tony

Unknown-58

Rudolph Sackville-Bagg is Tony Thompson's best friend and the main deuteragonist in the film. He is nine in human years, although he is over three hundred in vampire years. The original book series said his birthday was on 15 October 1810*, but the year must be wrong. In the book "The Little Vampire" from the movie, page 62, Rudolph said to Tony that is sorry about the smell and he hasn't taken a bath since 1528 (in the German edition 1428). Therefore, it can be assumed that Rudolph is much older and was born before 1810. Because a vampire never actually tells you exactly how old he is. Hence, it can be considered that he was turned into a vampire in 1428. Thus he must have been born rather 1419. This also makes sense, since the movie is from the year 2000 and Rudolph was already at the cliffs 300 years ago, in the year 1700. His zodiac sign is Libra.

His family consists of Anna (younger sister), Gregory (big brother), Freda (mother) and Frederick (father). He is never rude and he, along with his family only drinks cows blood, since they want to become humans they have to make do.

He has a nickname called Rudy, as his siblings Anna and Gregory sometimes call him.

He quickly sees through his sister Anna's intentions, knowing that she always has an ulterior motive. So he flew after Anna to save Tony as well. When Anna wanted to kiss Tony, Rudolph sensed that Tony hadn't thought that far ahead, that Anna would take advantage of the scene and she would claim him with a kiss. It was Rudolph who interrupted the incipient scene of the kiss to save Tony from something Tony didn't want, without asking anything of Tony in return. But also to show Anna that Tony is not hers and that she must try harder to get Tony away from him.

*In the German book "Anna von Schlottersteins Nächtebuch", the first edition states that he was born on 18 October 1810. This is a spelling mistake, because he was born on 15 October 1810.

Appearance[]

Rudolph can transform into a bat like classic vampires. He has very pale skin and tousled brown hair that looks like black at night. (When he was human, you could see in the sunlight that his hair color was brown!) His clothes appear to look aristocratic and Shakespearean with shades of brown and purple. Rudolph also wears purple pants and black boots, and stands at about 4ft 10" (or 1,47 meters). When Rudolph turned human, he wore a red shirt with white patterns, white socks and tennis shoes, and light brown shorts.

Personality[]

Since Rudolph is over three hundred in human years, he doesn't have a normal nine-year-old personality, instead he is very mature and intelligent. He is also very kind and caring to his family and Tony whom he helps stand up to the McAshton boys who torment him at school.
