Ratanish

General Ratanish is a goliath and leader of the Paragon's Call. As an NPC, Ratanish is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Ratanish is a very tall, broad shouldered goliath in his 40s. He is mostly bald except for a waist-long, deep red and gray braid on the back of his head that is fastened at the end with a metallic iron ring.

Personality
Ratanish is imposing and aware of it. He openly confronts both Laudna and Ashton at the ball over Laudna's undead status and Ashton's Nightmare King mask. He also seems somewhat short-tempered, particularly with Ashton.

Campaign Three Arc 1
Ratanish entered the ball with four associates from the Paragon's Call. He danced with Laudna during the Dance of the Crossroads. He identified her as undead and revealed to her that he was a follower of The Raven Queen. Later, Vali Dertrana noticed Ashton's Nightmare King mask and alerted Ratanish. Ratanish approached Ashton and confronted them about the mask. Ashton did not reveal any information about why he was wearing the mask nor who he was working for, so Ratanish ripped it off. Ashton retaliated by slapping him, and Ratanish hit him back then challenged him to a fight. The two went outside, followed by the curios party attenders.

Ratanish and Ashton agreed to an unnamed fair fight. Ashton was mostly successfully damaged his opponent, but he had not enough power and eventually bled out. After his victory, Ratanish took the opportunity of the audience to point out how smoothly he won over the fight, promoting Paragon's Call services. Both of them returned inside to rest and leak their wounds. Ratanish approached him at the bar, interested in his mask, depicting the Nightmare King. Ashton attempted to omit the truth, but Ratanish saw through him.
