They are both totally fictional characters. Rudolph did not appear in the seminal Santa Claus poem- a Visit from St. Nicholas- a.ka The Night Before Christmas- there are eight tiny reindeer- in the poem, no Rudolph. Rudolph was invented as an advertising ploy for Montgomery Wards mail-order house- naturally for the Yule catalogues, too keep kids turning the pages. The song, as it is generally known was written by Johnny Marks. That"s the story.
