Well, of course they didn't. Rudy had an incredibly high level; Serjiad, who's 60, was level 19 when he was introduced, and Jered Gan is an evil old dude and he's still only level 36.

Some people were theorizing that Rudy was a recruitable NPC pre-Catastrophe (or was planned to be if he was added in the latest expansion), which would explain his extraordinarily high level.
