General RAAM

General RAAM was the quiet, powerful and cruel General of the Locust military forces from the beginning of Emergence Day, when the Locust first appeared from beneath Serra's surface to wage war with the COG, and for the first 14 years of the war with the humans occupying the planet. RAAM's decisive and ruthless strategies were key to defeating the established COG as thoroughly as the Locust did on E-Day, forcing the COG into only a few key locations across the entire planet and forcing them to turn their satellite lasers on their own populace just to survive. In combat, RAAM was infamous for his brutal strength- easily flipping a car over with his bare hands and able to lift and wield a heavy Troika mounted machine gun. He also wielded a custom serrated blade which he used to slay the COG Gears who stood against him, easily penetrating their armor. RAAM was the only known Locust to wield the smaller Kryll species- an airborne creature that could shred the flesh and armor off a soldier, leaving them nothing but bone in seconds, but were unable to stand the light- which killed them under extended exposure.

After 14 years of pushing back the COG, the desperate humans launched the Lightmass Offensive, intending to use the powerful Lightbomb to decimate the Locust Horde underground in their own homes. RAAM and his Kryll faced off with Marcus Fenix and his best friend, Dom, on board the train carrying the Lightmass Bomb, but the two Gears were able to overwhelm him and finally kill him, taking their revenge for all their brothers-in-arms killed by Raam's hands. While the Lightmass Offensive ultimately failed to stop the Locust Horde, without RAAM the Locust leadership was greatly lessened, and the Lightmass Bomb was able to wipe out the Kryll species.
