- "No Lion did that, and no devil either. By gad I'll grant you that. You've got a revolt on your hands hereabouts, Mr Copeland."
- ―James Neville Ramsay to John Copeland (from Predator: The Pride at Nghasa)
Sir James Neville Ramsay was an expert and famous game hunter. He was assigned by the crown to hunt and kill a 'Lion' that had killed several workers at Nghasa Basin.
Ramsay was later ambushed and killed by the true assailant - a Yautja the Kenyan natives dubbed the Forest Devil, having a hole blown from behind by the shot of a Plasmacaster.
Biography[]
- "Rather some vicious simbas you have here, eh? Still, we'll have them off and home for the weekend."
"The locals think it's a ghost killed the railmen."
"Ha! Superstitious buggers." - ―Ramsay and John Copeland (from Predator: The Pride at Nghasa)
Sir James meets with the others.
Following an attack on a railroad construction site at Nghasa Basin, leaving several workers dead, word soon gets to Nairobi that the workers were killed by a Lion, though the superstitious natives believe that the culprit was a Forest Devil that kills men whenever the hunting star crosses the sky.
Upon meeting park rangers John Copeland, Reginald Barrows and Wanji, who were to escort him to the site, Ramsay and the group assembled a team and set out on foot, approaching a nearby village on the way. A village elder informed them of the 'Forest Devil', and a child escorted them to several flayed corpses strung up on a tree.
Death[]
Sir James is killed.
Becoming overwrought, Sir James begins accusing the natives of sparking a rebellion, killing the railmen as acts of defiance against the British Empire. As Copeland and Barrows attempted to reason with him, a hole was suddenly blasted through the chest with the shot of a Plasmacaster, killing him.
Personality and Traits[]
Ramsay possessed an air of superciliousness that Copeland and his peers greatly disliked. He was also a casual xenophobe, and embodied the institutionally racist nature of the Empire, mistaking Wanji as Copeland's servant and immediately suspecting the Kenyan people of revolt after witnessing the flayed corpses.
