 '''Rufu Aoa''' /'rʊfʊ æ'oʊɑ/ was the founding king of [[Afanyu]] who abruptly lost control of his kingdom due to a wave of separatism. He remained the ruler of a large portion of his country, specifically the southern provinces, which would later become the Upper Kingdom. He was killed in battle by [[Drufos Lador]] in 1674 SR.
-Rufu Aoa was suspected to be a [[superhero_warrior#legendaries|legendary]], with his life traced back to as early as the end of 15th CSR, although he himself never suggested this to be the case. Known under the name of Rufule, he was an important figure in [[Barzo]], but then vanished from the city. He was later known as the Utbringer and played an unclear role in [[Darda]], eventually venturing farther east to what would later become Afanyu, where he quickly gained power.

Some historians point out that there is no direct evidence that Rufu was the actual author of the decree to Zo, and it is this ambiguity of Rufu's role in Afanyu's decision making that ultimately led to the discovery of his patterned biography and the conclusion that he was likely a legendary.

 The Utbringer's role in the whole affair, however, is unclear. When the representatives of Darda tried to approach him, they were instead put in front of Molag Uusea, who turned out to be the actual leader and representative of the movement. Further research confirmed that the Utbringer was not a participant in any of the key events of the uprising, which makes it unclear why his name became so widely known and connected with the affair. Some in the movement believed that the Utbringer was a prophet, but if he had offered prophecies, no records have been found as to what they were.

-In Barzo, Rufu Aoa is known as Rufule and serves as a member of [[Officers of the Blue Star]], a law enforcement agency. He is the Chief Assistant to Master Officer, which makes him second-in-command. Between 1605 and 1612 SR Rufule takes active part in the organization and its war against bandit gangs. At the same time, he personally knows many of the bandits and is said to be close to Greental Davor of the [[Peliner gang]]. In spite of that, all members of the Peliner gang are killed in 1610, when Officers managed to surround their camp and then push them off the cliff into the Rener river to their deaths. Rufule, however, is not present at the encounter.
