"I'm Ms. Poultney, elected leader of the colonists on board the Jaded. I have a vested interest in making sure this planet becomes a habitable place for the civilian population. Tell me, have you been cleaning the pollution or just playing errand boy for the military and scientists?" - The Colonist's introduction
Ms. Poultney, also known as the Colonist, is the elected leader responsible for the well-being of future colonists. As such, most of her quests relate to the end-goal of Blightfall: purifying the world of Taint.
