Well, we don't know when Rudy's home was destroyed, so it could've been part of his "backstory" as an NPC (from a real-world perspective) or some time in the past, and then as an aspiring "Adventurer" he set out to become one, and could join low-level players as a temporary member -- which is why he was so adamant about joining other Adventurers for expeditions post-Catastrophe.
