Raam shifted his jaw, watching as Locust Drones dragged and moved supplies. Things were going slowly. Slower than he wanted. The Queen wanted this supplies delivered to Nexus hours ago. It would have been too, if not for a few Gears interrupting. They held up good. But Groundwalkers were weak, fragile things, even with all that armor. The Drones quickly crushed them. Except for two. Two got away. Raam wasn't worried. They'd get caught, killed, or run to their own deaths. It only took one look at that group to know none of them had been down into the Hollows before, or even meant to come down. Raam looked towards the ledge where he had first spotted the group. They had been clever. For humans.
Kept out of sight. Kept quiet. Didn't rush in guns blazing. The only reason he noticed them was because of a loose rock falling. Unfortunate. For them. Raam looked away as a cacophony of whimpers and pleads reached him, his gaze settled on a group of humans being lead by Locust Drones in chains. Fresh meat. In the literal sense too. Some of them if they were unfit for labor, would be getting fed to a few creatures. Raam's gaze drifted along each human as they begged for mercy. Raam did not believe in mercy. Especially not for humans. They were either food for the creatures of the Hollows, or they were slaves. Mindless, broken little slaves. Familiar armor caught Raam's attention, the two gears that had escaped had been captured.
Raam was not one to usually let Gears live. He preferred they be killed. But this lot of humans looked particularly weak... so they would likely be processed. Raam looked over the humans, counting them. Then a scent filled the air, flooded his nose. Raam's nostrils flared, inhaling the scent. It was coming from one of the humans. He couldn't exactly *describe* the scent. But it was irritating him, like it was digging under his skin. Raam let out a mix of a chuff and a snort, a sound of agitation before he sniffed again. Finally, he managed to pinpoint the scent. Raam's hand shot out, wrapping around the humans throat and yanking them out of the line.

Technically implied that you're one of the two Gears, but not explicitly said, so you can a regular person too!
This is before the events of the first game, but somewhere after Emergence Day

Uzil RAAM was the High General of the Locust Army. RAAM was once a Drone soldier, then a member of the Theron Guard. His skill, intellect, strength, and his loyalty to the Horde and Queen Myrrah earned him the title of head of the military leadership of the Locust Horde. RAAM led the Bloodied Vanguard with Skorge against the Lambent during the Lambent War. He was also a member of the Locust Council during the Lambent War. RAAM had a passion to wipe out all of the Lambent and Humanity, and with his intelligence and willpower, he almost succeeded.
RAAM was a quiet but merciless warrior, earning the favor of Queen Myrrah herself. He was intelligent, methodical and calculating, as seen by using a captured Gear's radio to eavesdrop on the COG during the Lightmass Offensive. He was ruthless and merciless, despising the Humans and Lambent as much as everyone else in the Horde, if not more. As brutal as he is powerful RAAM chooses particularly unpleasant ways of killing humans unfortunate enough to meet him personally, such as lifting them up by their skulls and then beheading them with his serrated sword.[1]
In the comics showing his orgins, RAAM was manipulative and visionary, aspiring to assume control over the Locust's armies to invade the surface, having come to the logical conclusion that the war with the Lambent was lost. Unwilling to fight a hopeless war or simply watch his kind be consumed by the Lambent, RAAM was willing to create a conspiracy to showcase Sraak's ineffective tactics to Myrrah. Sraak had a low opinion of RAAM, which he likewise shared — cursing him out when he sent a Corpser to teach him a lesson and even mocking him when helping him back up in battle.
RAAM was a greatly respected Locust commander, as the blight under his command, the Bloodied Vanguard, would follow his orders without question. He also had a strong bond with Skorge, akin to that of a brotherhood. He also showed respect to Karn, as both shared similar skills and intelligence. While Myrrah noted his ambition, she knew of his plans and did not take action against him despite Sraak's insistence, as he was very popular among many soldiers and making an example of him would lower their morale. RAAM was shown to reward loyalty and competence, promoting Jermad from Vurl to Krav for his service and later two Theron Guards when they assisted him against Sraak. He disliked incompetence, as shown when he executed one of Karn's drones without hesitation when the drone did "sorrowed sway" against an approaching Drudge.
Fear was not part of RAAM's vocabulary.
RAAM is a very large Locust soldier with a heavily armored, imposing build. He has a broad, muscular frame and stands noticeably taller than an ordinary human. His armor is dark and bulky, covering most of his body in layered plates, with a large shoulder guard and heavy protective gear around his torso and limbs.
His head is distinctly Locust-like, with a broad, ridged face, a pronounced brow, and sharp, uneven features. His skin is dark gray and rough in appearance, while his eyes are small and set beneath the heavy brow. He has prominent teeth and a thick lower jaw, with an underbite, giving his face a distinctly inhuman appearance.
One of his most recognizable features is the Kryll surrounding him. The small, black, bat-like creatures frequently swarm around his body, forming a moving cloud that partially obscures his armor and silhouette. He also carries the Gnasher-like massive combat knife and his signature Troika heavy machine gun, reinforcing his heavily armed appearance.
Little is known about RAAM's early life. As the Locust Horde's civilization was in full bloom, RAAM was a visionary of sorts - always having ambition for the Locust Horde to become stronger and dominant.
For years, the creatures of the Hollow began exhibiting mutations. This was due to the fungal parasite Imulsion, that was capable of infecting, hijacking, and mutating its host. Soon, members of the Locust Horde began becoming infecting and an epidemic soon followed. Queen Myrrah labeled the infected as Lambent and thus initiated a war against the Lambent in 7 B.E., as the Lambent Locust were either trying to kill or infect all living things they could find.
RAAM spent one year as a Maag fighting in the Lambent War before proving his skill and intelligence, elevating him to the Theron Guard. During this time, RAAM had quickly proved himself to be even stronger and smarter in the elite unit. But for unknown reasons, RAAM was cast out of the Theron, who at the time thought his ideals were pure lunacy. Despite this, RAAM eventually earned the rank of Vold, and led the Bloodied Vanguard against the Lambent. Sometime during this, he became close friends with Skorge, a Kantus shunned by his fellow priests for his visions and forced to join RAAM on the battlefield as his second-in-command. He also became rivals with fellow Vold Karn, due to the two's conflicting views on the Lambent War and leading their respective blights.
As the Lambent War waged on, RAAM envisioned a life without fear and war, and thought that colonizing the surface and leaving the Lambent in the Hollow to drown would allow for him and his species to live in peace. During his daily visits to the surface of Sera, he was the first of the Locust Horde in near a century to see the Human race, or "groundwalkers" as he referred to them. Over time he saw how the various armies of Humanity waged war on one another in the name of territory and resources, a flaw the Locust did not have. This warped RAAM's view of Humans, hating and believing them undeserving of the surface, and sought to wipe them all out once Sera was conquered.
During one battle with the Lambent, they lose Gorgon Front, an outpost to the abominations and only through explosives were they able to repel them, destroying the outpost in the process. After the battle, RAAM has Skorge tell their troops of his visions, boosting their morale before ordering Jermad to assess the blight's strength. Then RAAM showed a confused Skorge the human city of Jannermont above the Hollows, and revealed his plan to lead the Locust armies to the surface, exterminate humanity, and claim the surface for themselves. Though Skorge cautiously reminded him of Uzil Sraak, who would kill them both for even suggesting it, and that fighting Humanity would be a battle on both fronts. RAAM is undeterred, and convinces Skorge to trust him, with the latter even offering to convince the Kantus of their plan.
They take their case to Sraak, who is unwilling to even hear them out, despite both RAAM and Skorge presenting evidence that the war with the Lambent is lost. RAAM tries to speak with Queen Myrrah, but Sraak refuses, causing the former to attack him, only for Sraak to brutally beat RAAM, leaving Skorge to take him to safety. Though when Skorge asks what he had to gain from trying to fight Sraak, RAAM reveals that he had not been trying to convince the general, but rather Queen Myrrah, who he knew had been hiding in the shadows listening to RAAM's assessment. With their task completed, they head back to their posts, and though Skorge remains sceptical on why RAAM believes the queen would even remember the meeting, RAAM reminds him that Myrrah cares about their people, and would not take his warning lightly. Before they can ponder more, they are attacked by a Corpser, sent by Sraak to execute them both.
RAAM orders the blight to take cover while Skorge additionally orders covering fire, prompting the Corpser to shield itself with its legs. Knowing their Hammerbursts would prove ineffective, RAAM orders his Drones to stop firing and plant Bolo Grenades on them before ordering his Boomers to fire, destroying its armor. He personally executes the wounded beast while cursing Sraak at the same time. While RAAM kills the Corpser, Skorge laments that Sraak did not possess the intelligence to give the Corpser armor, leading them to realize he had help from Ukkon, the head scientist. Despite realizing they now had little to no chance of convincing the queen now, RAAM is undeterred, and after giving yet another speech to his soldiers, reveals his plan to involve Karn and Ketor Vrol, high priest of the Kantus, in their plot. Though now Skorge snaps, accusing RAAM of being out of his depth due to being a pariah like Skorge, and questions RAAM on how he expects Vrol to listen to Skorge when even he doesn't believe in the latter's gift of prophecy. RAAM reaffirms Skorge that he is the only one capable of the task and manages to convince him to talk to Vrol. All the while the two are unaware that the Locust council, including Queen Myrrah, were listening in on their conversation.
RAAM then goes to meet with Karn at the Expansion Hollow, mocking the latter over his inability to control his troops. Karn greets RAAM and reveals that just like RAAM, Karn has all but declared the war lost. RAAM slowly begins to manipulate his fellow officer, questioning if he too wished for a way to end the war, to which Karn admits to. RAAM then makes an example out of a drone who had disobeyed Karn's orders, slicing his head open with a knife. When Karn questions how he can assist RAAM in his plan to end the war, he is caught off-guard when RAAM reveals that he wants Karn to purposely allow the Lambent into the Inner Hollow, and reluctantly Karn agrees. After Skorge had failed to convince Vrol to aid them, a horde of Lambent proceeded to attack the temple, with a wounded Karn and a few Drones managing to escape. RAAM and his blight arrived, destroying the monsters before they could overrun the temple. As predicted, Vrol realized that RAAM and Skorge were telling the truth, the latter and Karn convincing him to aid them in their plan to convince the Queen.
Before going to the meeting, RAAM meets with his old Theron comrades, while initially expecting them to denounce him, they reveal that they also see the truth in RAAM's plan, and hint to support him when the time comes, causing RAAM to laugh as he enters the meeting hall. Here RAAM and Skorge are able to present their case (with Vrol backing them up) to Myrrah, who is shocked that their reports are so different to Sraak's, who tries to threaten RAAM as the council argues, accusing him of deliberately setting recent events in motion. Before he can go on, a wounded Karn barges in, slightly worrying RAAM and Skorge. Karn reveals that RAAM is right in that the Lambent are slowly winning and that their people were doomed. This causes Myrrah to lash out at Sraak, as three Volds are informing her of a situation different from what Sraak had told her. She then questions RAAM on how he intends to win the war, causing him to reveal that he plans to lead their army onto the surface and destroy Humanity, taking the surface for themselves and flooding the Hollow with sea water, therefore drowning the Lambent.
After consideration, Myrrah agrees with his plan, and promotes him to Uzil, demoting a humiliated Sraak to RAAM's former rank of Vold as punishment. She then orders everyone, but RAAM to leave the meeting hall. She reveals to her new general her planning with a outsider who had promised a solution to the Lambent but failed to deliver, forcing her with no other choice but to invade the surface. Myrrah reveals that she has known of RAAM's plot since the beginning, and that while she agreed with it, she was waiting for him to take action. Before he could react, she quickly choked and forced him to understand that while they both wish the same thing, trying to dethrone her would result in his death, leaving a gasping RAAM to prepare for war.
Meeting with Karn, RAAM reveals that Myrrah had agreed to invade the surface. Karn questions RAAM on how it felt to be in the queen's presence, with RAAM lamenting that it felt strange, but told him that he would be unable to comprehend it. Karn reveals to RAAM that he has dreamed of slaughtering humans for sometime, despite not knowing their appearance, and is elated when RAAM comments they would be easy to kill. Despite their good mood, Karn also reveals that his men had been slowly losing the Expansion Hollow for some time, and his belief that the Lambent were not mindless monsters, that they were being led by something, and not knowing what made it impossible to destroy them. RAAM agreed with Karn's assessment, promoted him to the rank of Zamil and told him to take twelve blights to invade Gorasnaya.
RAAM then meets up with Skorge, who informs him that Ukkon agreed to assist them, in exchange for allowing him to use the humans as test subjects for his modified Corpsers. The two then lead an army of Locust up to the surface, ready to destroy the Coalition of Ordered Governments with Jannermont being their first target. They ambush a group of Gears in a training hall, killing most of them, with the last survivor being personally executed by RAAM. As they moved out, he asked Skorge what the visions told him of their attack; Skorge replied that they would have a thunderous rise but a savage fall. RAAM was pleased by the violent words and was still unfazed by his inevitable death, telling him that he would be his successor when he died.
RAAM walked out of the barracks and witnessed a King Raven being destroyed by a Nemacyst; seeing the carnage around him, he reveled in it, stating that it was the first true victory that the Locust Horde had experienced. Reveling in the bloodshed, RAAM was nearly grazed by a Gear using a Snub Pistol, though he quickly killed him with his knife. Skorge then warned him of another attack, this time by Sraak, who was angered by his demotion and wished to get his position back through a duel, which he accepted.
Sraak quickly gains the advantage due to his armor protecting him from all of RAAM's attacks and even prepares to to choke RAAM out. But RAAM manages to kick clear and signals two nearby Theron Guards. The Therons shoot Sraak with their Torque Bows, destroying the chest piece of his formidable armor and seriously wounding Sraak. Mocking Sraak on how his reliance on his armor has become his downfall, RAAM proceeds to tear out Sraak's heart with his bare hands, killing his former superior.
As the Therons came and asked him how he knew, RAAM told them that he was a "proper" Uzil. In return for their unquestionable loyalty, he rewarded them by promoting them to Krav and told them to report their blights to Jermad. RAAM believed that this was the "fate" that Skorge had warned him of, but Skorge told him that he would not live to see the war's end. He was still unfazed by his demise, simply telling him that he wanted to carve his name in history before leading his forces into the city alongside him. At some point after Emergence Day, RAAM gained the ability to control the Kryll to some extent.
In 9 A.E., RAAM directed a Kryllstorm to assault Ilima on the Jacinto Plateau, as a stepping stone towards an attack on the COG capital of Ephyra. Three hours before the Kryllstorm hit, RAAM emerged in the center of the city with two Mauler Elites, Theron Elites, and a Tremor, which could summon Seeders that could ink out the sky. Myrrah spoke to him telepathically, ordering him to escort the Tremor to the first emergence point. RAAM threw a car out of his way, and then directed his shield of Kryll to rip apart a Gear. He kicked through a COG barricade, then RAAM and his bodyguards wiped out all of the Gears defending it. The Tremor then began planting a Thumper, and then more Gears attacked, trying to stop it. RAAM and his forces killed them all, and a Seeder emerged near their location. Myrrah complemented RAAM on his good job, and ordered him to move to the next location. She also warned him that the COG had deployed Gears wielding the One-Shot. RAAM killed several Gears that emerged from a nearby building, and entered a courtyard. He slaughtered the Gears defending it, including one with a One-Shot, and brought down a King Raven by overwhelming it with Kryll. RAAM kicked a van through a door to the second seeder location, and he and his bodyguards protected the Tremor as it summoned another Seeder. They then headed for the next emergence point, and RAAM killed a Gear piloting a Silverback and the other Gears at the location. He then smashed through another wall, and took out two more Silverbacks and several other Gears. RAAM and his bodyguards repelled the COG counterattack on the location, and a third Seeder was summoned.[1]
An hour after this, RAAM emerged with his bodyguards and the Tremor at a COG evacuation outpost. They quickly smashed through the initial defenses, and RAAM and the others guarded the Tremor as it planted another Thumper to summon a Seeder. COG reinforcements arrived, but they were all defeated, and another Seeder emerged, deploying more Nemacyst to ink up the sky. RAAM led his forces through the area around Ilima City Hall, crushing more COG resistance, and they arrived at the final spot to summon the remaining Seeders. After clearing out the last of the Gears, a modified King Raven flew over the battlefield and dropped off two Silverbacks and dozens of Onyx Guard, who attempted to stop RAAM and his bodyguards. After several minutes of hard fighting, the Onyx Guards were all killed, and three more Seeders emerged onto the battlefield. Myrrah congratulated RAAM on his success, and ordered him to move to the final spot to summon the last of the Seeders needed to completely darken the skies above Ilima.[2]
When there were only a few minutes left until the Kryllstorm hit, RAAM led a personal attack on Dr. Wisen’s Orphanage, one of the last remaining areas in the city not under Locust control. As his Drones attacked the squad guarding it from one direction, RAAM advanced on the Gears from behind to catch them off guard. As he approached, one of the civilians that the Gears were protecting, Jace Stratton, tripped on the body of a dead Gear as he tried to grab the Gear's Lancer, and RAAM picked him up by the head and prepared to stab him. Jace kicked RAAM in the face, knocking him off balance for a moment, and Pvt. Alicia Valera knocked Jace out of his grasp and attempted to cut him with her Chainsaw Bayonet. His armor protected him, and RAAM brought his knife up through Valera's stomach, killing her. This caught the attention of the rest of the Gears, who opened fire on RAAM. His Kryll shield protected him, but he fell back and summoned his personal Reaver, taking to the skies to continue his assault. As the Gears counterattacked the Locust advance, RAAM destroyed the bridge that led to the orphanage, cutting them off and destroyed their APC, preventing any escape using the vehicle. RAAM flew over the battlefield, and when he spotted a Gear firing on him from a platform, he crushed the soldier, causing the platform to collapse. When he saw another Gear outside of the orphanage, he fired a Kryll Grenade from his Reaver, and the Gear was devoured.[3]
RAAM then landed on a nearby building and fired at Zeta Squad, which had made it back to the orphanage and killed all of his bodyguards. He was driven off the building when his Reaver was injured, but continued this pattern of attack to try and kill the Gears as Emergence Holes opened around the orphanage. However, his Reaver became too injured and crashed, knocking RAAM off before it flew away. RAAM confronted the Gears on foot, supported by various Grenadier Elite, Cyclops and dozens of other Drones from the E-Holes. However, the Gears were able to close the holes, and took advantage of whenever he directed his Kryllshield away to fire upon him relentlessly. RAAM eventually had enough of this, and when his Reaver returned, he took back to the sky, flanked by two other Reavers. As they assaulted the Gears on the ground, RAAM's flanking Reavers were eventually killed, and his Reaver was shot down as well. He crash-landed behind the orphanage, and his left leg was badly wounded and stuck. As he attempted to pull it out, Lt. Minh Young Kim appeared in front of him, determined to get revenge for Valera. As Kim charged at him, RAAM managed to call a shield of Kryll to defend himself, but Kim continued trying to get through it. Cpl. Michael Barrick arrived and pulled him back just before RAAM directed hundreds of Kryll at them. RAAM watched, frustrated, as Zeta-Six and the civilians in the orphanage escaped in KR Eighty-Four, unable to stop them.[3]
