'''Rundas''' is a [[Phrygisian]] [[Bounty Hunter]] who appears in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. His personality differs depending on the situation; sometimes he is arrogant and conceited when commanded by others to complete objectives, and other times he is mostly confident and laid-back when alone. Rundas is mostly someone who works alone that can take on groups of enemies on his own, however with another one by his side to back him up, he is willing to keep them out of harm's way. There are various examples of this when Rundas saves [[Samus Aran|Samus]] after she defeats [[Meta Ridley]] in [[Norion]].
'''Rundas''' is a [[Phrygisian]] [[Bounty Hunter]] who appears in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. His personality differs depending on the situation; he can be arrogant in front of others, but is quiet and dutiful in following commands when working alone. Rundas prefers to work by himself, even against large numbers of enemies; however, he remains sensitive to the safety of his allies. For example, on Norion, he works on his own initiative to activate Generator C by himself, but then he returns to [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to save her after she defeats [[Meta Ridley]] in [[Norion]].


==Role==
==Biography==
Rundas's role in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is similar to that of the other Bounty Hunters Samus, [[Ghor]], and [[Gandrayda]]. In the beginning of the game, Rundas's job is to help Samus activate the generators in Norion's infrastructure in order to activate the Energy Cannon to destroy the incoming [[Leviathan]] that is about to impact Norion. Rundas saves Samus several times while she aids him in restoring power to the generator conduits, such as when Samus encounters a large wave of [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]]. Rundas takes care of most of the incoming forces of Space Pirates, which saves Samus moments of valuable time needed to bring the conduits up and running. However, when [[Dark Samus|a dark entity]] attacks the Bounty Hunters when they are about to activate the Energy Cannon, all of the hunters, including Rundas, are infected and begin self-generating Phazon. Everyone but Samus is knocked unconscious from the blow, but Samus is still able to repulse the Leviathan's impact with the activation of the Energy Cannon.
Rundas is introduced in ''Corruption'' in a manner similar to the way Samus, [[Ghor]], and [[Gandrayda]] are. Initially hired by the [[Galactic Federation]] to combat the [[Phazon]] virus infecting their [[Aurora Unit]]s, Rundas and the other Bounty Hunters rush to activate the generators powering Norion's planetary defense system and Energy Cannon to destroy the incoming [[Leviathan]] threatening to destroy the Galactic Federation's base on Norion during a [[Space Pirate]] attack. Along the way, he saves Samus several times while she aids him in restoring power to the generator conduits.


Within the month, Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda are dispatched to [[Bryyo]], [[Elysia]], and the [[Pirate Homeworld]], respectively. Rundas, sent to Bryyo, is sent to end the rapid Phazon Corruption there and like the other Bounty Hunters, is equipped with a [[PED Suit|Phazon Enhancement Device]] to help aid him in his investigation of the Leviathan planted there. Not long after does Rundas realize how dangerous excessive use of the PED suit can effect his energy tanks, and soon becomes infected with [[Phazon Corruption|a Phazon-like illness]]. Samus soon learns of this by various scans of ice with increasing Phazon content as she advances through Bryyo. Before long, Samus encounters another wave of Space Pirates she cannot defeat (similar to the encounter at Norion) but again is saved by Rundas. Samus attempts to walk toward Rundas (possibly to thank him), but Rundas lashes at her with a ripple of ice from the ground. Samus has no other choice but to take down the corrupted Rundas, taken over by Dark Samus.
However, when [[Dark Samus|a dark entity]] attacks the Bounty Hunters before they were able to activate the Energy Cannon, Rundas and the other hunters become incapacitated by Phazon infection.


After Samus critically wounds Rundas, he reaches for her, but before Samus can do anything, Rundas is impaled by one of his own ice formations, the exact cause of which is unknown, but he is nevertheless the first of Samus's comrades to die. Dark Samus then collects his Phazon and lets his body decay into thin air. Nothing is left behind by Rundas but a Missile upgrade: the [[Ice Missile]]s.

Rundas, sent to Bryyo, is sent to end the rapid Phazon Corruption there and, like the other Bounty Hunters, is equipped with a [[Phazon Enhancement Device]] to aid him in his investigation of the Leviathan planted there. It was only a matter of time before Rundas overused his PED and falls victim to [[Phazon Corruption|a Phazon-induced illness]]. Samus finds evidence of this as she tracks him in various scans of ice deposits, which have increasing Phazon content as she advances through Bryyo. Before long, Samus encounters another wave of Space Pirates she cannot defeat but is saved by Rundas in a manner reminiscent of his previous interventions on Norion. Samus attempts to walk toward Rundas, but he lashes out at her with a ripple of ice from the ground, blocking the only exit in their location. With no other alternative, Samus begins to fight the corrupted Rundas.


==Fighting Style==
By the end of the fight, Rundas is mortally injured and Samus emerges as the victor. Before either of them could react, Rundas is impaled by one of his own ice formations, and becomes the first of Samus's fellow bounty hunters to perish. A silhouette of Dark Samus immediately emerges to collect the remaining Phazon in Rundas, and Rundas's body disintegrates.
The Phrygisian race has the ability to generate and manipulate ice, an ability which Rundas uses to his advantage in combat. He can generate sheets of ice which allow him to "glide" through the air. He can also generate large ice chunks to throw at his enemies. Rundas's ability to implant ice into various locations makes him a formidable foe at close range, while his chunks of ice make him a large-scale threat at far distances. In short, Rundas is a very dangerous hunter and should be taken seriously.
 
The ice formations remaining from the battle shatter, and Samus is left with the [[Ice Missile]] upgrade.

Rundas is a Phrygisian Bounty Hunter who appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. His personality differs depending on the situation; he can be arrogant in front of others, but is quiet and dutiful in following commands when working alone. Rundas prefers to work by himself, even against large numbers of enemies; however, he remains sensitive to the safety of his allies. For example, on Norion, he works on his own initiative to activate Generator C by himself, but then he returns to Samus to save her after she defeats Meta Ridley in Norion.

Along the way, he saves Samus several times while she aids him in restoring power to the generator conduits.
