Ryan Wareing

 was a presenter LIVE 34 radio station on Colony 34, who reported about the 'Rebel Queen', who was believed to be behind the explosions who turned out to be Ace. He felt that he was being kidnapped, but gave Ace a chocolate bar.

Ace told him of censorship, poverty, the disappearance of people and their deaths. She helped him to escape arrest with his footage, which was still censored and covered as a fiction. Wareing was reported on the LIVE 34 news to have committed suicide not long after. (AUDIO: LIVE 34)

Behind the scenes
It can be inferred, though not directly established, that Wareing was murdered by state police and the death was made to look a suicide - a practice commonly used in real life by totalitarian governments, most notably the Soviet Union.
