Rutherfor of the Ten Patch Officiants(ラザホー) is a fictional character in the manga series of Shaman King. She is one of the Ten Patch Officiants, responsible for overlooking the Shaman Fights.

Appearance
By far one of the smallest members of the Patch Tribe, Rutherfor intially was shown with both her head and hands resembling that of an alien, more specifically a Grey. However, this was later revealed to be due to the nature of her over soul and the environment of her plant, her true appearence is instead that of a young girl. She wears the standard Native American Patch robes with a silver plating resembling an UFO on the chest of her robes.

Spirit

 * See More: Grey Saucer

Rutherfor's spirit's name is Grey Saucer(グレインーサー). Nothing is known about her spirit beyond this, but Asakura Hao seems to know its true nature. According to Hao, Rutherfor's alien-like appearance is created by an Over Soul. In the original Shaman File, Rutherfor's over soul is referred to as "The Visitor"(来訪者).

When Ren mention that aliens are non existing creatures, She is revealing that Grey Saucer is a spirit of a real alien once came into earth and had an accident with his ufo, by teaching the humans (or more specificly the pach tribe) the alien founded the basics of the Shaman Fight as well before he died in natural death (was too old).

Invading the Plants
When Team "Funbari Onsen", Team "The Ren" and Team "X-I" forfeited the third round of the Shaman Fights, Asakura Hao was automatically declared the new Shaman King, and together with other nine Patch Officiants, Rutherfor went to guard her plant.

When Hao arrived there, Rutherfor guided him through her 10th and final "Plant of the Universe" to the Kings Sanctuary. There she explained to Hao the reason and way the Plants of the Mu was built.

When the invaders arrived Rutherfor was quick to attack them with her Over Soul manipulating Gravity, hoping to scare them away. However they still stood firm, and realizing that something more was needed Rutherfor began smashing them under the wait of her Gravity manipulating abilities. Becoming to confident she began to talk about how the spirit of her Armor Over Soul, Grey Saucer, landed on earth a long time ago, far before the first Shaman Fight was ever held. She revealed how it was badly hurt, but was treated by the Patch Shamans and in turn taught them many things amongst other about the Oracle Bell.

She however realizes that she had talked to much and insists that they should all just forget it, only to be faced by Asakura Yoh. Having deduced that the Gravity manipulation came not from the Plant but from her Over Soul, he quickly used Furyoku Nullification to break free and then attacked with his own Armor Over Soul to shatter hers, revealing that Rutherfor was a, "Cute girl" according to "Wooden Sword" Ryu.

The Plant then shuts down and hearing the Oracle Bell beep, Rutherfor realizes that the "Shaman King " has awakened.
