| At some point in her life, Ruth was employed as a shooter/assassin for the [[Ha'la'tha]] {{CAP|Here Be Dragons}}.
| | In 58 BCH, she lives with her son-in-law [[Joseph Adama]] and her grandson [[William Adama]] on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] after the terrorist bombing of the [[Lev]] claims both her daughter's and [[Tamara Adama|her granddaughter's]] life ([[Caprica pilot]]). |
| | |
| In 58 BCH, she lives with Joseph Adama and his son, William, on {{RDM|Caprica}} after the terrorist bombing of [[Maglev 23]] claims both her daughter's and [[Tamara Adama|her granddaughter's]] lives. She has repeatedly attempted to convince Joseph to tell his son William about their true heritage as [[Tauron]]s, eventually succeeding in this {{CAP|Pilot (Caprica)}}. | |
| | |
| After [[Amanda Graystone]] announces publicly that her daughter [[Zoe Graystone]] was involved in the bombing of Maglev 23, Ruth supports Joseph's plan to have Amanda assassinated by his brother [[Sam Adama]], believing in blood for blood {{CAP|Gravedancing}}.
| |
| | |
| Ruth notes that [[Evelyn]] is good for Joseph, implicitly giving Evelyn her blessing to pursue a relationship when informing Evelyn that both she and Willie will be staying with her sister for a while {{CAP|False Labor}}.
| |
| | |
| Ha'la'tha member [[Francis]] is sent to Joseph's apartment to assassinate him after the [[Guatrau]] decides to have the Adama brothers killed for smuggling [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit]]s to Tauron against his wishes, but Ruth kills Francis with a meat cleaver to the back. Ruth then keeps watch in the apartment with a gun while Joseph, Evelyn and William go to [[Goldie's]], a local restaurant, to retrieve fake identity cards so they may go into hiding {{CAP|Here Be Dragons}}.
| |
| | |
| Following the death of her grandson in a shootout at Goldie's, Ruth is disgusted that the Guatrau's supporters' vendetta would extend to a child. She continues to be part of the Adama family after Joseph marries Evelyn and has another son, also named [[William Adama|William]] {{CAP|Apotheosis (episode)}}.
