Biography[]
In the 1950s, Randy Zelley dominated the racing circuit, emerging as one of the most promising motorcycle racers of his generation, until a horrific Harley accident left him in critical condition. Doctors, given the severity of his injuries, declared that he would never be able to walk again, much less ride a motorcycle. However, Tyrus, who had been silently watching him for some time, was not about to let the young man's talent be destroyed by tragedy. As he lay in his hospital bed, consumed by grief and hopelessness, Randy received an offer from Tyrus: the promise of freedom from pain, loss, and limitations, a second chance to live, and most importantly, to walk again.
The following night, Randy, now assuming the name Ramrod, roamed the streets in his new vampiric state.
Ramrod survived the vicious Lupine attack during the Chicago War, but the cost of his survival was high, making him hesitant to make risky decisions, especially in direct confrontations. In an attempt to increase his chances of survival and protect himself, Ramrod made a strategic choice: he added two ghouls to his Wolf Pack, tasking them with being his personal bodyguards. However, Anthius, a keen observer, began to sense that something was wrong with Ramrod, although he had no concrete proof of the vampire's reluctance.
One night, Ramrod made a desperate decision to ensure the escape of his child, Nadini, who was in imminent danger. He sacrificed himself, being fatally wounded at the hands of MacTavish, his childe. After the event, Ramrod was consumed by grief and guilt. For a long time, he fell into a deep depression, until Dread found him, who helped him overcome the abyss into which he had sunk. Ramrod began actively hunting the anarchs and, especially, MacTavish, vowing to avenge the death of his sire.
