A noble officer of the royal guards of Rohan, Hama stands outside the great Golden Hall of Edoras. Despite the ill health of his Lord and the interference of the devious aide Wormtongue, Hama obeys King Theoden's commands faithfully, even when it pains him to do so. Loyal to the end, he is among those to fall when the Wargs attack King Theoden's ranks on the march to Helm's deep.
