Ratanish

 is a goliath and leader of the Paragon's Call. As an NPC, 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.

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 left to go outside and many other party-goers followed.
