Rama

Rama, nicknamed Rama the Rageful, was a knight, and a member of King Hugo's personal guard.

Physical Description
Rama was a massive, hairy man. He was over seven feet tall, with a robust build and powerful, well-muscled arms. A thick, black beard hid most of his face, and his long black hair draped over his shoulders; his great, overhanging forehead shadowed his glinting eyes. He is capable of snapping a neck with his bare hands and demonstrates his raw physical strength numerous times throughout the book. Despite his size, Rama speaks in a surprisingly soft, yet deep voice.

Personality
Despite being a formidable warrior and a fierce combatant, Rama was a gentle soul at heart.

History
Rama was born at the end of the Fourth Age, presumably in Monterria. Even as a toddler, he was noted to be remarkably strong, but none too cruel. At the age of four, during a festival of some sort, a bear emerged form the forest and attacked his family, who was attending; Rama quickly defended them and wrestled the bear to the ground barehanded. He did not kill it, however, but rather sent it trotting off into the woods again after giving it some honey. This earned him significant praise, both for his fearlessness and kindness.

By the time he was twenty years old, Rama was at least six feet tall, and over 150 pounds of pure muscle. Starting out as a squire, he quickly ascended through the ranks and had become a knight himself by the age of twenty-seven.
