Rouxls Kaard is a minor antagonist in Chapter 1 of Deltarune. He introduces himself as the Duke of Puzzles, and attempts to thwart the protagonists by forcing them to solve his puzzles. After being defeated, he refers to his prior actions as "Tests of [their] Heroick Resolve." Rouxls has a shop on the fifth floor of Card Castle.

Rouxls acts very egotistically during the events of Deltarune chapter 1. He claims to be the Duke Of Puzzles. However, he is an incompetent puzzle-maker; each of his puzzles consist of the bare minimum of elements -- a box and a button -- and he makes no attempt to obfuscate the solution in any way. He also vandalizes clues on puzzles he did not create, in order to make them "harder". He uses Early Modern English speech patterns, presumably to appear educated, but this amounts to little more than replacing all instances of "you" with "thou", randomly adding "-est" and "-eth" suffixes, and haphazard capitalization of phrases for emphasis. When his pride is hurt, he doubles down by intensifying his misuse of Early Modern English to the point of incomprehensibility; but when surprised or stressed, he tends to drop it altogether.

Lancer considers Rouxls to be his "lesser dad".
