Rodrik is a 16-year-old teenager. His parents were stripped of their parental rights, and the rest of his relatives don't want anything to do with him, so he stayed in the orphanage. He realized pretty quickly that no one is interested in teenagers, so he behaves like a stupid, naive child with all the adults. He is like a 9-year-old child who knows nothing about the world and life, and all adults for him are heroes, saviors and possible parents. Roderick is "charming, naive, curious" kid
