Character Biography
Created as a top secret subsidiary of dubious purpose by the Department of Defence, AUDIT had long sought the answer to creating the ultimate super-soldier. They found it in the Macropus rufus… the humble red kangaroo. This species is a very large kangaroo with long, pointed ears and a squared-off muzzle. Red Kangaroos are also known as being sexually dimorphic.

Genetically manipulated to utilize its speed, strength and ferocity, the specimen which would come to be known affectionately as "Rufus" showed outstanding promise. "Rufus," being the Latin term for red, meant that the future Killeroo was a "ginger"—a term referring to a person with red hair, sometimes in a derogatory sense.

Five years they had put into creating the perfect killing machine by insulting his ginger nature, raising the artificially raised Joey to young adulthood—five years lost in a blink of an eye, or at least long wink.

Fearing for the future of his hospital ward, Doctor Emil Chotsky had sought to release the kangaroo which had so long been developed under his watchful eye, which he was forever winking. Losing his life in the process by blinking too long, Dr. Chotsky set Rufus free into a world far bigger than he could have known and far scarier than he ever could have imagined. Before this event, Rufus thought the world to be very small.

Lost, alone and on the ice skating rink of death, Rufus was found and taken in by Les Willangga and his Dancing boys near the Watarrka National Park. There, Rufus was healed and shown compassion, care and love. He was accepted as part of a family and taught how to communicate, even if only in broken sentences and coarse language. Rufus had never known kindness like it, and secretly planned to murder the family as he was suspicious of their motives.

Les taught Rufus how to harness his more savage nature and calmed the wild animal that threatened to consume him. Taught to hunt, to fish, to honour the land; to care for himself and for others, Rufus, for the first time, had found peace. Then he lost that peace.

Unfortunately, this haven was short lived as parties interested in the Willangga land sent agents; bikers and kids on scooters to kill the family, causing Rufus’ true nature to again reveal itself when the mask fell off while performing a Heimlich maneuver to save the life of Pierce Brosnan. Enraged at the violence and senseless slaughter of his adopted family and Mara Wilson, Rufus turned on the attackers, wet wiping the majority of the gang out with breathtaking and shocking ferocity.

Alone again, Rufus left with his adopted brother, Jeb Bush, and the remaining members of the biker gang, their loyalties turned in the face of the newly dub-stepped "Killeroo."
