He hates being called Rodney, preferring to be called Ruxin his sister Rebecca ( Lizzy Caplan) calls him the "Rod-Man" and Taco sometimes calls him "Ruspin," two nicknames he finds equally unfavorable. In many episodes, and all of season 3, Ruxin is extremely paranoid, often thinking that his opponents are "trying to get into his head", or that other League members are "in collusion" to cheat him, but his paranoid hunches have been correct at least twice: in "Expert Witness" and "The Lockout." In "The Bounce Test," he describes his own appearance: "I look like a Nazi propaganda cartoon of a Jew." He and Sofia have a son named Geoffrey ("Baby Geoffrey"). He is constantly torn between his need to please her and his desire to crush his League opponents. He "out-kicked his coverage" with his wife Sofia, so goes to great lengths to please her.
In the series finale, Pete wins $1 million and retires into the sunset, winning the beach house. He once got a "Fear Boner" when he bought Chicago Bears tickets from a man in the park. He still holds the North Winnetka High School pole-vault record. He creates, and is commissioner of, the "Sacko", the "worst-team" trophy created during the episode "The Reunion". Pete is known for tricking his gullible friends (particularly Taco and Andre) into making poor fantasy-football trades they call "trade rapes." He works in a cubicle in sales, avoiding doing actual work as much as possible, though in the season 5 episode "The Automatic Faucet" he declares he is done with fantasy football and focuses solely on work-except for when he helps his boss set up a team for an office project much like he did with his fantasy-football lineup, which actually earns him a promotion. Several episodes revolve around his interaction with women.
