Logan Rodriguez first became known for his working as host and waiter at a cosplay catboy cafe. Initially shy and reluctant at work, feeling out of place, Rodriguez quickly warmed up to his co-workers and the job, and became skilled at acting out the likeable catboy waiter fantasy for the customers at the cafe. He quickly rose in popularity among the customers, with many regulars coming to see him specifically at the cafe. Unfortunately, with the popularity came some rude folks with boundary issues. As Rodriguez kept working at the cafe, over the years he’d be exposed to more and more rude and unruly folks, souring his disposition towards customers he wasn’t familiar with. He became grouchy and irritable by default, only ever warming up towards regulars he felt he could trust. However, this backfired on him: more and more customers found this cat-like behavior to be cute, with some even going as far as to dub him a “tsundere.” Word of mouth spread, and despite his increasing age, Rodriguez found himself to be yet more popular among the customers.

Rodriguez put in his notice and looked for work elsewhere, hoping for something that puts as much distance as possible from the public. He started working for the National Park Service, interested in becoming a fire lookout and living alone in a fire tower for months at a time. However, because of arcane laws and confusing contracts, Logan Rodriguez found himself being added as a player to a newly formed ILB team called the Yellowstone Magic.

Despite the increased distance, both metaphorically and literally, Rodriguez retains a distrust and disliking towards the public, here Fans instead of customers. Where other players might get emotionally invested in how Fans bet and idol players, he’s apathetic and at times spiteful towards it all. While Rodriguez generally gets along with his team, this can result in conflicts as others may think he doesn’t really care about how the team performs. On the other hand, when a teammate is struggling under the pressure, Rodriguez plays up the apathy and spite towards the Fans in an attempt to help and cheer them up.

Recently, when James Mora showed an interest in Rodriguez's past, Rodriguez started teaching James some of the mannerisms and performance from his catboy cafe gig. Rodriguez has described those skills as, “surprisingly useful in social situations.” When asked, Mora refused to comment on this.
