Codename Goldbeak, Ruth is a fierce, determined leader. A country girl with a strong fundamentalist Christian background, powerful connections, and, some say, a knack for prophecy. Once a devoted mother, her life took a wrong turn after her son’s death in a logging accident, for which she blames Will McKinley.
Wanting revenge against Will, she aligns with corporate interests and a far-right terrorist group, New Earth. She is pragmatic, resourceful, and deeply committed to protecting her beliefs and reuniting with her son, whether on the New Earth, in Heaven, or in Hell. She’s a natural leader, commanding loyalty. But her grief and bitterness make her a complex antagonist, challenging the Commune.
