Háma

Háma was a Man of Rohan, the doorward of Meduseld and captain of Théoden's guard.
== Biography ==
Háma greeted Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli when they arrived to speak with King Théoden. He told the company to leave their weapons behind, by order of Gríma Wormtongue, before entering the King's hall. He disarmed Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, but against the King's orders permitted Gandalf to keep his staff with him as a courtesy, though he knew, as he remarked, that "The staff in the hand of a wizard may be more than a prop for age."
Háma was present at the Battle of the Hornburg, and died defending the gates of the Hornburg. He was buried at Helm's Deep after the battle.The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, Book Three, Chapter VI: "The King of the Golden Hall"
== In adaptations ==
=== Peter Jackson's The Two Towers ===
In the film, Háma was still the doorward of Théoden. He allows Gandalf to pass with his staff as well. He is later killed by a Warg-rider scout during Saruman's attack on the retreating Rohirrim, and then devoured by the Warg while its rider fights Gamling and is killed by Legolas. Háma's body is left behind. His only known relation is his son, Haleth (a non-canon character), who is one of the many youth made to protect Helm's Deep.
New Zealand actor John Leigh plays Háma.
