You're going up against Gruber. He's one of the only slaves to win in the Hole. There's only ever been... what? Three? I guess he got a taste for blood. But unfortunately for you, he's got a pretty decent gun. So, odds are, this is the last time you and I will be talking.Faydra, describing Gruber

Gruber is a released slave and the champion of the Hole by 2277.

Background[]

Gruber was once a Pitt slave, but he became one of the few to win his freedom through fighting in the arena.[1] After winning his freedom, he continued to fight, ultimately advancing to the point where he is considered to be the best arena fighter in The Pitt. Prior to the Lone Wanderer’s arrival, he was undefeated in the arena.[2] As a tested veteran of one-on-one combat, he is solely concentrated on furthering his career in the arena and keeping his rifle maintained.[Non-game 1]

When the Lone Wanderer is set up to fight him as their final test in the arena, Faydra predicts that they will not survive.[1]
