Rufus appears gruff and irritable at first, but he quickly calms down after a gift of tea and biscuits from Hitch Trailblazer, after which he is revealed to be polite and appreciative. He speaks with a Cockney accent. Rufus is often shown doing different kind of jobs, like magician in One Trick Pony, guards in Bridlewoodstock and Moon Festival, selling sunglasses in Foal Me Once.

He is the only known imprisoned character in G5, though it is unknown if he was ever convicted in a court. He seemingly got released from custody soon after, being shown waving his hair in Welcome to Mane Melody.

As the "Great Hoofdini" he wears a dark teal, indigo, purple, violet, pink and magenta, cape with yellow moons and a big sun printed in the center, and a matching dark teal top hat with a purple band and pink, yellow. green and blue six-pointed stars on it.
