King Ramses II, or King Ramses The Great, was a former pharaoh (and technically god) of Egypt who now wanders the The Middle of Nowhere as a spirit. He's thousands of years old, and was one of the founding members of the Ministry of DIE Affairs, before retiring around the early 2000s. He's infamous for terrorizing Courage and his owners after they unknowingly took his slab, which he had already killed two grave robbers over. He managed to eventually get it back, but nearly murdered some German guy with it after mistaking him for the local idiot. Shirley The Medium managed to stop him before he did.
Backstory[]
Brief history lesson for y'all, courtesy of ME.
Ramses II was once an Egyptian pharaoh back in the days before Jesus Christ (so yeah, he's REALLY old). He spread prosperity across the land, making a bunch of people rich, before catching an unknown illness and dying. When he died, as per the Egyptian pantheon, he became a god, specifically a ferryman of death (basically Anubis's Uber).
Later on, Anubis kicked him out of the underworld when his grave was exhumed by some idiot cats from Nowhere who wanted a lot of UnDolla' Dolla' Bills. When they stole his prized slab, he sent a bunch of bugs at them, brutally murdering them in cold blood. They kind of deserved it, though, have they NOT seen The Mummy? Specifically the part with the scarabs, that messed me up when I was a kid.
Relationships[]
When it comes to his fellow Nowherians, he is close friends with Courage, Shirley, and (recently) Velvet Vic. He's neutral to Courage's owners, a bit disgusted by Katz, and very annoyed by Di Lung. Despite his hatred of Di, he actually likes Mud and Larry (his closest friends). He's only ever heard about Randal, never seeing him, but once said he'd like to meet him someday. He's friends with all the other members of the Ministry of DIE Affairs, and an affiliate of the Goths. He is also Hip Choice's great-uncle.
Trivia[]
- He is aware of Diddy Kong, and is quite proud of his pharaoh-hood.
- He is a vinyl record purist. He cannot stand CDs or MP3s, because of them being too clear and polished.
- if you don't return the slab, your home will be flooded with sand.
