Ellen Ryder Profile

Ellen Ryder was a pioneering designer of biotic implants. In 2150s, she was a leading biomedical and cybernetic researcher at UFRJ in Rio de Janeiro. She is also the mother of Sara and Scott Ryder. When human biotics began to emerge as a scientific field, Ellen found possible applications for her work in neuro-integrated wetware. Her early designs for biotic implants formed the framework for the later L2 and L3 models.

Ellen met Alec Ryder when he was posted to Rio for ICT (N70 training before the First Contact War. She eventually joined Alec on the Citadel when he was posted there as military attache’ and gave birth to fraternal twins (Sara and Scott) on the station in 2163.

Unfortunately, element zero, the catalyst for biotic mutations is a hazardous material, poorly understood in the early years of human biotics. After repeat accidental exposures, Ellen eventually developed a terminal neuro-degenerative disorder known as AEND.

In her final years, Ellen built what would later become the Pathfinder implants, designed to sync with the AI partner which Alec Ryder was developing. Ellen died before the creation of implants was fully realized.
