Ra’mam Mammu

Ra’mam Mammu is an eccentric narcissist living in Oakridge.

## History

Ra’mam Mammu was born in 1097 in Huzuz,
the great city in the 1000-Eyes Desert. The eldest son of the scion of the House
of Mammu, a rich and powerful trading company, Ra’mam was educated by the
greatest tutors the city had to offer and groomed from an early age to inherit
the business. A quick study, Ra’mam did not appreciate the family business. Even
from a young age, the boy was particular, interested not so much in the money
the caravan generated or the intricacies of politics, but rather, the artwork
and textiles and spices that the caravan traded back and forth.

In his teen years, when he became a man, Ra’mam was wed to a girl
from a powerful desert tribe outside the city, an alliance to strengthen the caravan.
Much like his father’s enterprise, Ra’mam was not particularly interested in
her, but for the sake of his family, he went through with the marriage. In
truth, Ra’mam was not attracted to the woman- was not attracted to any women-
and in order to avoid having to keep up the pretense of being a husband, he
began traveling on caravans to other lands. He did as much as possible to avoid
having to spend time in Huzuz, and though he bore no ill will against the
woman, he was relieved when she died a particularly deadly flu that affected
many.

In 1125 his father died, prompting Ra’mam as his eldest son to
inherit the family business. Though he did not like the position being thrust
upon him, he knew he had a duty to support his mother and younger siblings and
dutifully ran House of Mammu for decades. Since almost day one, he began
formulating an escape plan, and he dutifully counted down the years until he
would be able to implement it. Finally, in 1145, he stepped down, having
groomed his younger brother to replace him.

Believing that he lost decades of his life having to run the House
of Mammu, Ra’mam left the city on one of his family’s caravans headed south. He
did not bear his family an ill will, but he felt that he had missed the prime of
his life and was going to dedicate the rest of his living life on doing what he
liked and witnessing the beauty of the world. Over the next few years, he would
travel the world, eventually settling in Oakridge, where he purchased an estate.

## Personality

Ra’mam is a narcissist with a penchant for flamboyant fashion and
eccentric artistic tastes. He considers himself a misunderstood genius that
only few understand.

## Appearance

An ethnic al-Bed, Ra’mam Mammu has dark skin, thick dark hair, and
dark eyes. He generally wears the clothes of his people, but in lavish colors
and comfortable materials more suited for Valouria’s temperate climate as
opposed to the desert. Virtually every single finger has some kind of ring on
it, set with large, gaudy jewels. He has both ears pierced, also adorned with
gaudy earrings.

## Motivations and Goals

Mammu is retired from trading and has settled in Oakridge
permanently. He passes his days making extravagant and avant-garde artwork. He
considers himself an artistic genius, and the fact that most others do not
understand his pieces- or even see how some of it can be considered artwork-
only fuels his delusions of grandeur.
