Class: Cleric 3/ Walker in the Waste 10 / Wizard 1 / Mystic Theurge 16
Alignment: Neutral Evil

Description: Ra-men is an ancient creature whose lifetime has spanned thousands of years. Born into the clergy of The Lost City, he quickly rose up in ranks to become Head Priest of the Asherati Triune. Jealous of the admiration and love shown toward the Pharaoh, he abandoned his faith for the worship of Nerull, the terrible god of death and murder, promising him power and rulership far beyond his current state.

With his new abilities, Ra-men plundered the ancient tombs of the Asherati, using their corpses for his new army and their gold to equip his troops. Allying himself with the Red Lizard Kings, the armies of the Pharaoh moved to intercept an opposing army of Lizard Kings. With the Asherati's main forces engaged in battle, the remaining skeleton guard was hopeless against the undead hordes. Ra-men quickly deposed of the former royalty and any remaining loyalists.

Ra-men consolidated his position for a number of years as the new Pharaoh of the Asherati, but grew bored with menial rulership. Eventually he decided to try to summon the enigmatic Zargon to serve under him to rule the city in Ra-men's absence due to his profound psionic capabilities. However, Ra-men underestimated the power of the Elder Evil, and found himself unable to control or defeat him due to the Elder Evil's complete immunity to divine magic and extreme regenerative capabilities. Turning a loss into a small gain, Ra-men bargained with the Elder Evil. In exchange for formal control of the Lost City, Ra-men would gain a piece of the Essence of Zargon as well as a few other secrets which he would utilize in his later plots.

Eventually Ra-men came into conflict with the Lightbringer and his band of companions and was apparently destroyed. However, this is far from the truth.

Ra-men has been plotting for thousands of years. He is believed to have a hand in many secret organizations including the College of Necromancy, The Veiled Society, and the Lestat. Who knows what personages he has planned from birth to serve his aims or what the final aim of his quests truly entail?
