Rudolph's father is Comet, one of Santa's other reindeer. Comet is the most experienced and wise of the reindeer, and he takes his role as a father figure for Rudolph very seriously. He has been guiding and supporting Rudolph since he was just a young reindeer, and he is always there to provide advice and encouragement when Rudolph needs it. Comet also has a unique connection with Rudolph, as their antlers have a special pattern that is said to be a symbol of their close bond.
