Ruth is the mother of Shannon Adama a.k.a. Shannon Adams, and mother-in-law to Joseph Adama. Her grandson, William Adama, refers to her by the affectionate term "Tsattie".

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 Joseph Adama and his son, William, on Caprica after the terrorist bombing of Maglev 23 claims both her daughter's and her granddaughter's lives. She has repeatedly attempted to convince Joseph to tell his son William about their true heritage as Taurons, eventually succeeding in this (CAP:Pilot).

After Amanda Graystone announced publically that her daughter Zoe Graystone had been involved in the bombing of Maglev 23, Ruth supported Joseph's plan to have Amanda assassinated by his brother Sam Adama, believing in blood for blood (CAP: "Gravedancing").

Ruth noted that Evelyn was good for Joseph and implicitly gave her her blessing to pursue a relationship with her son-in-law by telling her that she and William would be staying with her sister for a while (CAP: "False Labor").

Notes[edit]

  • It was revealed in an e-mail that Ruth has tattoos located high on her right arm that represent her children and grandchildren. [1]
