Jerufus

Jerufus
Jerufus (Jer/ome and R/ufus) is the crack enemy pairing of Jerome Clarke and Rufus Zeno.

Jerome and Rufus first met in the middle of season 1. Jerome became jealous and suspicious of the Sibuna gang, so he contacted Rufus through Patricia's phone. Rufus paid Jerome to snoop on Sibuna and collect information for him. Jerome eventually realized how dangerous Rufus really was when Rufus began to threaten his life if he didn't get him the information he wanted. Jerome became terrified of him. In the season 1 finale, Rufus trapped Jerome and the Sibunas in a classroom and threatened them with fire ants. Sibuna eventually got ahold of the fire ants, and Jerome threw them at Rufus, severely injuring him.

In season 2, everyone believed Rufus to be dead because Patricia found his obituary in a newspaper. But in House of Collections / House of Speculation, it was revealed that he was alive the whole time. He was the Collector, a mysterious man who Vera and Jasper worked for. He wanted anything pertaining to the Frobisher-Smythes and ancient Egypt, and he was also after the mask. In House of Pretenders / House of Trouble, Rufus captured Jerome when he was in Anubis House and took him to the barn. Jerome cracked into Rufus's safe and took the Frobisher Gem back from him. In the season 2 finale, Jerome escaped from the barn. In the library, he watched in horror as Rufus put on the mask and was taken to the afterlife.
