Ruthic, the leader of the Tulpaa tribe, held the esteemed position of a Rakata elder. Notably, she was responsible for freeing Raspir, a former court magician of the Sith, from a Rakatan mind trap.
Hailing from Tulpaa within the Rakatan Archipelago, Ruthic was a priestess skilled in combat. Unlike the rest of her species who had lost their connection to the Force ages ago, her connection grew stronger each year. This unique phenomenon granted Ruthic profound insights into the workings of her ancestors' technology. She believed that previous generations had failed to fully utilize their available power, driving her to uncover every hidden secret. In an attempt to better understand her unusual Force-sensitivity, Elder Ruthic commanded her priests to perform dissections on healthy slaves, seeking to locate the Force within the body.
By exiling the previous leaders into a mind trap, Ruthic rose to power as the leader of the Tulpaa tribe. She dispatched hundreds of skipships to explore the Unknown Regions, searching for slaves and resources to aid in constructing a new Star Forge above Tulpaa. Raspir, a pure-blooded Sith court magician formerly serving King Adas, advised Ruthic on controlling the Star Forge. Raspir had been freed from a mind prison when Ruthic used the same device to banish her rivals.
Possessing both the skills of a warrior and the wisdom of a priest, Elder Ruthic was known for her ambition and cruelty. However, she was also remarkably intelligent and maintained a calm demeanor, rarely succumbing to anger or indulgence. Her primary desire was to acquire knowledge about the Force and the lost secrets of her ancestors.
Ruthic demonstrated fluency in various languages spoken in the Unknown Regions, including Basic, Minnisiat, Rakata, Rammocate, Sy Bisti, and Vagaari.
She typically wore ceremonial attire, carried a ceremonial staff, and sported ceremonial gloves that also served as combat gloves.
