Ruth is Howard’s niece. She died after shooting Howard, her fiancé, and her mother. Ruth fell in love with an indigenous miner named Benito, but Howard had already arranged Ruth’s marriage to her cousin, and when he found out about Ruth’s feelings, he beat her mercilessly. Ruth knew about Howard’s immortality and his ability to control people though the gloom, and she decided that she was going to escape from High Place. This required killing Howard, but she didn’t believe that there was anything wrong with that—Howard is evil. She shot Howard twice during her escape attempt, but he didn’t die; he controlled Ruth through the gloom and forced her to kill herself.
