» Khar Ramsus wears Fighter's Cuirass over a white full body mail with gold plating. His body armor has a full neck of White fleece. His main weapon in battle is a Great Axe named the Cermet Velius ((Rampager)) built with Ceruleum technology. Ramsus's military might is what has won him many accolades and favor in the eyes of the Garlean populace.

Despite Ramsus originally being part of the XIVth Legion, he is one a handful of Garleans who do not sympathize with Gaius's motivations. Gaius's faith in ability over nobility made him popular with the populace, but it was a philosophy not shared by many of the longstanding military Noble Houses in Garlemald. House Galthens, whose lineage has served the Empire a great many generations, easily fell in ranks during Gaius's regime as Legion Legatus. Despite the Galtentinian Dynasty being that of noble origins they were far from popular and have wilted in terms of wealth. Many of the elder Galthens have found themselves outclassed and thus sank the family's reputation lower. It was not until a young Khar Ramsus' noteworthy military achievements that the Galtentinian House rose in popularity. Being the only breadwinner of his family for a long time, Ramsus has made it his personal goal to win the Garlean Court's favor and revive the Galtentinian name to its former splendor.

After the fall of the XIVth Legion in the hands of the Eorzean Alliance, Ramsus quickly beseeched the Garlean Court to keep a fragment of the legion in Eorzea. Ramsus's request was granted and he was named Praefectus of a small satellite fleet duly named the Regnum Garlemald. Ramsus immediately appointed his younger brother Azureus Galthens (a.k.a The Blue Wolf of Galthens) as chief strategist for the Regnum, naming him Primus Palatinus. Despite Ramsus being named Praefectus of the fleet, he invested most command to his younger siblings, particularly Azureus, as a way to expand his family's power.

Behavior

The Vice Ram of Galthens

Nomura-style Ramsus

» "Ramsus Galthens (whole name is Khar Ramsus Vold Galthens) is an imperial military man from the Galtentinian Dynastic lineage. Ramsus believes himself a "true garlean" and believes that only those of Garlean descent have the right to rule or place themselves highly in the Garlean social structure. Ever prejudice and highly opinionated, Ramsus dislikes Gaius's methods and how Gaius believes in ability over nobility. Ramsus particularly harbors hatred for Rhitatyn for he has achieved the rank of Tribunus despite not being of Garlean descent and for being a Roegadyn.

» Proportional to his contempt for others, Ramus's love for his own blood is strong. He would gladly take a shot for anyone of his blood line and extends even to those he considers "true gar leans". Ramsus is pride and prejudice against other nations and its races. Civil only to Hyur, Ramsus belittles all other races believing them to be a "more sentient" form of beast men. Ramsus is very easily perceived as a man whose sole motivation in life is to bring honor to his family and nation. Though often extreme in his zeal, Ramsus is often empathized by his fellowmen and seen as somewhat of a hometown-hero. Since he was young, Ramsus was honed into the man he is now: Passionate and duty-bound. He is the picture of Garlean patriotism and never acts out of turn. Though not a military woman, Ramsus's Mother, Raminerva, trained him very hard in the art of war, spending much time and money to shape him as the perfect soldier in his formative years."

History

THE HOUSE OF GALTHENS Show text

THE HOUSE OF GALTHENS

The Galthens house was founded by it's forefather Judge Galtentine (PIVS OTHO GALTENTINIVS), a Garlean Judge who served the Emperor's Tribunal Court. From his line bore the House Galthens, a family line that has served the Empire since its dawning. Every generation of the Galthens line has produced either politician or military man brought up and carefully trained to succeed each previous seat the family held. When a Galtentinian man sat as a tribunus his son, upon conception, is molded to take his very seat when his time has come. Thus the power of their family only stands to grow.

Though with emergence of the XIVth Legion the Galthens' traditional power began to wane. Right before the VIIth Legion's attack on Eorzea, the Legatus Gaius Van Baelsar had already rose significantly in power and had become the Emperor's most favored. Gaius, believing in ability over nobility, assigned many common place men of great ability in the seats of power, one most significantly is his promotion of Rhitatyn Sas Arvina into the Tribunus Laticlavus seat. Though condoned by the Emperor himself, this was to become the first of many usurping of political power from the noble houses.

For the first time a Galtentinian had demoted in rank only to be superseded by one of common birth. This spelled a depression on the Galthens line and it was one they have yet to fully overcome. Though Kharelian Azureus Nan Galthens's (Judge Kharelius) position on the Capital Tribuni has been maintained, he has been pressured greatly and runs the risk of losing the court's favor. Judge Kharelius's is under civil investigation due to his involvement in the VIIth Legion's Calamity incident. It is only fortunate that, after the wake of the XIVth Legion's attack on Eorzea, his appeal to allow the remaining forces to organize from within Eorzea was granted. Now that remaining Garlean fleet is what is now The Regnum Garlemald to which Judge Kharelius's children were appointed to lead, very gradually restoring favor back into the Galthens House.

RAMSUS' FORMATIVE YEARS Show text

FORMATIVE YEARS: MAGITEK ACADEMY

As a young noble, Ramsus was enrolled in many disciplines ranging from Arts such as music and crafting to philosophical studies like Eorzean Theology. At the age of 18, Ramsus was accepted in a Magitek University that bred many of today's Magitek researchers. It was here that Ramsus employed himself as a disciple of Magitek, devoting a lot of his time and attention to Ceruleum studies. He found a fascination for the machinas of the ancients: legacies of Allag, and even devices powered by the Nymians and Amdaporians. It is the one profession that, if fate had dealt him more freedom, he would devote his life to.

Yet the Garlean nobility are not without their duties. Fully aware that he will be deployed into Eorzea, Ramsus laid down his engineer's goggles for his military garb.

FORMATIVE YEARS: DISCIPLE OF WAR

As the eldest son of house Galthens, it was inevitable that Ramsus would have to take arms and fight for the Realm. At the age of 8 he began his discipleship of war, from hand-to-hand combat to training at the Pilus (spear). He excelled at and was positioned as a Imperial Myrmillo (Marauder) from which he earned most of his military accolades. Soon he was called "The Vice Ram", a title given to him by his superiors.

TRIBUNUS GALTENTINIUS Show text

TRIBVNVS GALTENTINIVS

Ramsus's Tribunus Armor Concept

The Galthens clan have served as Tribunus to the Capital since the dawning of the Empire itself to which each Tribunus is traditionally given a "Judge" name signifying their generation:

» Pius Otho "Judge Galtentine" Galtentine

» Azureus "Judge Azelian" Galtentine

» Lupus Pius "Judge Wolfgalthas" Galtentine

» Raminerva "Judge Raminveras" Junius-Galthens

» Kharelian Azureus "Judge Kharelius" Galthens

» Khar Ramsus "Judge Ramgalthas" Galthens

Ramsus was first given his Tribunus name at the age of 28 which was around the same time he was summoned to serve the XIVth Legion under Gaius's Tribunus Laticlavii. Though thrilled to had finally attain Tribunus status in the capital, Ramsus's celebration was short-lived as he had to serve under the very man that had indirectly demoted his family's status: Rhitatyn Sas Arvina. It was almost unbearable as Ramsus took orders from a Roegadyn, growing in resentment each time he had to call his superior by his full name: The "Sas" Prefix was one that Ramsus aspired for himself.

Battle

The Cermet Reaper

»In-Character Though Ramsus had received training in the use of the Pilus (Spear) as well as in hand-to-hand combat, his trademark weapon is the Great Axe to which he was known to have plowed through enemy ranks. Ramsus has made quite the reputation for pulling as many foes as he can and crushing them all together as oppose to isolating his opponents on a 1-vs-1 bout. This style of mowing through packs of his enemies has earned him the title "The Vice Ram".

» ((In-Game much like his in-character temperament in battle, Ramsus pulls as many mobs as he can and counts on his team's ability to collapse on the group. Spamming AoEs is highly recommended and for single target DPS, they should collapse down on those in the group of mobs with the lowest health resulting in relief for both the healer and Ramsus himself. When in the process of pulling mobs, avoid from engaging any of the targets until Ramsus has situated himself in an area and begins spamming his AoE. Healers should travel closely and start healing Ramsus as soon as he stops moving regardless of current HP.))

» Cermet Velius Upon reaching the status of Primi Ordines, Ramsus's mother had Garlean Researchers issue him a Ceruleum enhanced Great Axe which was specifically designed to fit his style of combat. This weapon was thrice enhanced: first was its tempering using Thavnairan materials (Velius), second was its Ceruleum enhancement (Ceruleum Velius), and third was having its plating replaced with Cermet, a very stalwart material. Hence this version be called the Cermet Velius. Although it was designed and modeled after the Great Axe "Rampager", it is looked upon by Garlean weaponsmiths as a vast improvement, rivaling the might of the Relic Weapons from master Gerholt himself.
