Cjopaze

CJOPAZE is the presumed name of the entity responsible for the events of Ruby Quest. It never appears directly, does not directly interact with either Tom or Ruby, and is not even explicitly named during the story. The little that is known is as follows:
 * All malevolent activity at the Metal Glen medical research facility can be connected to objects retrieved from a nearby submarine cave. These objects include assorted statuettes, an unknown fleshy growth, and a leathery mannequin.
 * This cave was excavated with the Metal Glen facility was expanded under the direction of Red, the head researcher. He later reported that this decision was influenced by dreams he had been experiencing.
 * Experimentation with the fleshy growth produced a treatment that was able to heal otherwise incurable or lethal injuries, and facility researchers began to cultivate it for this purpose. It was later discovered, however, that patients removed from the treatment were subject to irregular physical deformations and excessive growths, especially in the regions which had previously been injured.
 * During the game itself, the mannequin was discovered near the brig, bolted to the floor. Regardless of the location of Ruby or Tom, whenever it is visible it stares out of the screen in the general direction of the player. When Tom pokes the mannequin's eyes, he notes that they feel squishy; they also glow when the lights are turned out.
 * Over the course of the game, the brig becomes divided in half by a black chasm. One half, as well as its associated gravity, later inverts. Both events apparently happen of their own accord.
 * The words "CJOPAZE FHTAGN" were found written on an eye chart.
