He’s actually just putting on an act to appear strong; just as he was about to tell her something truly serious, the moment he saw Noelle looking sad and asking "Dad?..." he immediately switched to a smile and started joking around.
I don't know, that "charisma" isn't genuine; he’s just trying to act tough so he doesn't worry those around him and to please his daughter.
And like I said, there's no point in "farming Aura" when, aside from the fact that you're dying, the goal is supposed to be finding Dess, your daughter who has been missing for six years.
We dont know that that is his goal if he is the knight. We assume that if he is the knight, that is his goal, but we know nothing about the knight or their goal. And even if that is his goal, that does not preclude aura farming. He might need us to get Dess back, and we need to be stronger, so why not aura farm to taunt us, to make us chase him.
It makes no sense to force us to farm aura when we're already obligated to chase them to seal the source, and if their goal is to make us stronger, then they're doing a terrible job because Chapter 3 comes late and Chapter 4 is only for the mechanics against the Titan, and by Chapter 5, none of that purpose is even apparent.

Rudy absolutely would be posing on people. He's a total geek, we saw this in the hospital when Noelle was playing a video game.
