History:

Young Ruby Carter was part of the Outer Earth Colonies when she was a child. Her parents were one of the many families that wanted to get as far away from Earth as they could yet still be part of EarthGov. All was well for the family until the Ridiarium War began in 10-570. Her entire family, parents and brother, were slaughtered during a Ridiarium attack in 10-571 when she was still only 8. Somehow managing to hide away while they were torn to pieces, she managed to hide onto an escaping shuttle that was headed for the Cartel. However, she was found as a stowaway and through sheer luck caught the eye of Odin, who raised the girl into the Cartel family. She became a shipping Captain at the age of 16 - her intelligence, ruthlessness, and cunning all aided her in her job and she rose through the ranks quickly. And due to the fact she rarely let anyone close ot her, she earned the nickname "Iceheart" - that and because she enjoyed using a prototype device that would condense water molecules into ice shards.

She ran into Katrina McCormick during her travels to EarthGov to make deliveries while Katrina was still in college and the two became friends, and through Iceheart, Katrina met Shiva, another agent of the Cartel. Iceheart wouldn't run into Katrina again, outside whenever she visited Shiva, until after Katrina joined her ship following the Gift of the Gods incident during the Dark War. The two then entered a relationship due to the fact Katrina managed to pierce Iceheart's defenses and get into her life - but eventually Katrina had to go back to work for EarthGov due to her activities while working for Iceheart.

While Iceheart has rarely aided the team outside certain incidences, she's played both sides of the game in order to further the Cartel's agenda. She has worked many times with Loki, and the two worked to catch Zerith after being infected by his virus. After the Progenitor ship was brought to the Erevis' group's attention, they used Katrina's connection to Iceheart in order to get insight into the Cartel operations to find the ship. Cassandra Arakawa agreed to try to win Iceheart over, and the two have entered a short relationship, though so far Iceheart hasn't fully dropped her guard, despite helping the team locate the Progenitor Ship. After things with the Legacy went out of control, Iceheart was one of the Cartel agents stranded on the ship. Who's side she will be on has yet to be seen.
