Biography[]
Fabian Rutter is a resident of Anubis House. He befriends Nina after she arrives at the school. He assists Nina with her quest to find clues and puzzle pieces. Together, along with Amber Millington, they form the Sibuna club. Fabian develops feelings for Nina throughout the first season. It is shown that he enjoys playing the guitar and solving riddles. He is one of the seven acolytes involved with the Cup of Ankh ceremony. He prevents the Secret Society from being able to drink from the Cup of Ankh. At the end of the first season, Fabian and Nina are declared prom king and queen and they share a kiss, becoming a couple.
In Season 2, Fabian and Nina break up after they realize they are better off as friends. He receives the Mark of Anubis due to his closeness with Nina. This leads him to search for the Mask of Anubis in the tunnels beneath Anubis House, along with the other members of Sibuna. Nina and Joy compete for Fabian's affections. Fabian is close with both of them, but his feelings for Nina still remain. At the masked ball, Fabian and Joy kiss because Joy dresses similarly to Nina. This causes Nina to become very upset, but the two manage to reconcile. When Mara and Eddie threaten to expose the mystery on the school's website, Nina persuades Fabian to ask Joy for help. Joy refuses to help unless Fabian kisses her, but she realizes that he still has feelings for Nina and decides to help him anyway. Fabian's confession leads Nina to discover that he still has feelings for her. At the conclusion of the season, Fabian and Nina dance, kiss, and get back together. After that, they celebrate with their family and friends.
In Season 3, Fabian becomes upset after he finds out that Nina chose not to return to the school. Nina breaks up with him through a letter she wrote and sent along with Eddie. He reluctantly continues to assist Sibuna with their quests. He becomes the fourth sinner (the sinner of pride) after being captured by Robert Frobisher-Smythe. Fabian and Patricia trick Eddie and KT into finding the last piece of the Staff of Osiris. They are both returned to normal after Ammut is defeated. In The Touchstone of Ra, it is shown that he and Mara have feelings for each other and they share a kiss.
