tourism essays general RAAM is one of the high ranked general in the Locust army that invaded Sera on Emergence Day. Till today it is still unknown what type of role RAAM played in the past, but his prowess in battle is feared by the COGs. It can easily be said that RAAM was one of the strongest and cunning warriors in the Locust army.
14 Years after Emergence Day he was defeated and Killed by two COG Marines; Marcus Fenix & Dominic Santiago onboard an armored train carrying the Lightmass Bomb.
Features
RAAMs appearance is much that of a Boomer, he stood almost as tall as one and his face was much like one with his lower jaw covering his upper. RAAM was dressed in the same ritual armor that the Theron Guard and Theron Sentinel used but in a black variant. He also seems to be much stronger than any other Locust footsoldier, he would carry a torn-off Troika in both hands when he attacked the two COGs onboard the train. RAAM also seemed to have a connection with the Kryll, he summoned a small flock of Kryll to swarm about his body thus acting as a shield.
Strategy
The best way to beat RAAM when playing the online/system linked story. Is when one player is using the Torque Bow or Grenades on Raam to "disable" his "Kryll-Shield" temporarily. While the other uses the "Longshot" for headshots. When on your own it is advised to wait for him to send the Kryll on you and stick to the lights on the obstacles and take a carefull shot at his face when doing so. (mind that when he sends the Kryll to get you, he always turns around first) When taken sufficient damage, RAAM will succumb and die and thus finnishing the game and it's main objective. His player model is resized for Multiplayer uses
