	In contrast to his compatriots, Rudjek lacked a sincere devotion to the cause of the Order of the Ancients. A man of weak ideals, he was to the very end a more or less average, if upper-class, individual with little aspirations other than a life of security and pleasure. For that reason, he felt himself fortunate to have become affiliated with the Order that bestowed upon him much wealth and many social connections. Quite the hedonist, Rudjek exploited his newfound power to increase his profits through the natron trade and acts of corruption, and the benefits he received from the Order far exceeded any that he could ever have dreamed of.<ref name="ACO Guide"/>		In contrast to his compatriots, Rudjek lacked a sincere devotion to the cause of the Order of the Ancients.
