Tsewangiin "Ruby" Anar

Tsewangiin Anar, nicknamed Ruby, is a pioneer who was aboard the Cicada when it crashed into Proteus. She serves as the colony's lead pilot and is an expert in the use of Tadpole submersibles, handling instruction and licensing for Tadpoles within the colony. She is married to fellow pioneer Sansariin Ganzorig.

During the survival efforts on Proteus, Ruby has been killed and reprinted multiple times. A recipe for the Tadpole Depth Module Mk. 1 can be found next to her blackbox in the Needler Nest.

Her last known death occurred approximately 235,000 hours ago when she was attacked by a Marrowbreach following the destruction of the Old Habitat. She was transmitted to an unknown Biobed, and her current status remains unknown.
