Ruby Hale

"Your work is sloppy and incomplete, and you've been trained to do better, which is why you don't skip class." "Does it matter? They took the beacon." "The beacon was a backup, a prop. You're my daughter, and a disappointment."

- Hale and Ruby

Ruby is the young and intelligent daughter of General Hale, whom she serves as an assassin. Ruby has a mysterious obsession with Daisy Johnson.

General Hale's Advice
"Hey, Mom Are you a good guy?" "Where'd that come from?" "Well, you're off to a strategy meeting, right? How to stop S.H.I.E.L.D.? But up until recently, everyone rooted for them and thought that they were the good guys, so are you sure that you're not a bad guy?"

- Ruby and Hale

While sitting inside her bedroom listening to her music, Ruby was visited by General Hale who requested her turn off the music and listen to her. Once Ruby had sat up, Hale questioned her over skipping class the day before, with Ruby noting that she simply was not in the mood, noting that while her mother might expect more from her, Ruby confessed that she simply could not care less, to which Hale threatened to take away her phone if she did not start obeying her. Once Ruby apologised, Hale then offered to bring her breakfast, which Ruby rudely refused to accept, claiming she was no longer a child. As Hale went to leave her room, Ruby then questioned if her mother was in fact a good person or not, noting it was not too long ago that it was S.H.I.E.L.D. who were considered to be heroes, and now Hale was hunting them down. Hale noted how obsessed Ruby had always been with Daisy Johnson and explained that her orders were to find and capture her, with Ruby questioning if she had been ordered to kill Johnson. Hale explained that these were her orders and even she had people she needed to answer to, promising that she was doing all of this for Ruby and all the other downtrodden citizens.

"Your orders?" "Kill them."

- Robot Soldier and Ruby

When Ruby was informed that Piper had successfully tricked all the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. into coming to the St. Louis Aerospace Facility in order to investigate the Kree Orb, she led her own team of robotic soldiers to confront them. While Piper held her gun to some of the agents, Ruby and her soldiers stepped into the room and held their guns to them, while Piper insisted that General Hale had guaranteed the agents' survival. Ruby however quickly realised that Quake was not present in the room and therefore ordered her soldiers to kill all of the agents. Before the soldiers could open fire, Yo-Yo Rodriguez then used her own Inhuman power to disarm the soldiers before she and the other agents charged into battle against them. Ruby took a step back as she watched her soldiers fighting against the agents, with Alphonso Mackenzie eventually shooting one of them directly in the face and as a result discovered that they were in fact machines. Upon seeing Ruby's betrayal of her trust, Piper then chose to change sides and assisted the agents with getting the Kree Orb out of the facility while the other agents continued fighting the remaining robots. Ruby waited for the ideal moment as she watched Mackenzie and Rodriguez both getting held back by the soldiers, knowing that they would run to each other's aid in a moment. Once Rodriguez freed herself, Ruby then drew one of her Chakram Blades and waited for Rodriguez to use her Inhuman power to save Mackenzie. Ruby threw her blade and successfully sliced through Rodriguez's arms, before catching the blade and watching while Rodriguez fell to the floor in shock while Mackenzie rushed to her aid and took her away in her arms to get medical treatment, with Ruby letting them go.

Confronted by Hale
"You promised me Daisy Johnson." "She didn't show up tonight." "Well, I think if I keep cutting her friends' arms off, she will."

- Ruby and Hale

With her mission to attack the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. complete, Ruby returned into the military base where she found Hale was waiting for her. While Ruby put away her mask and Chakram Blades, she simply insisted that she had just forced S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hand, leading to Hale questioning if Ruby viewed this situation as nothing more than a joke, as Ruby claimed that the agents needed to get medical attention for all of Yo-Yo Rodriguez's horrific injuries they could then find and capture them. Although Hale insisted that they had already had them where they wanted them, Ruby noted that Quake had not been there, noting that Hale had promised that Ruby could capture Quake. Hale pointed out that Quake had not shown up to which Ruby claimed that if she had continued cutting off all her friend's arms then eventually she would appear. Hale furiously called all Ruby's work sloppy and incomplete, noting that the Kree Orb which was armed with a bomb was merely a prop before then claiming that Ruby was a disappointment to her as General Hale walked out and had her soldiers lock the door.
