H.A.M. guard (Chosen Commander)

For other uses, see H.A.M. Guard (disambiguation).

A H.A.M. guard is a character encountered during The Chosen Commander quest, and is amongst those radical members of H.A.M. found in Sigmund's H.A.M. base north of East Ardougne. He guards the prisoner and can tell the player what day of the week it is.

The guard appears to be a stickler for organisation, as he has drawn up a schedule for interrogators^[1] and through his own initiative set up a system that allows interrogation and prisoner release only when recommended or authorised in writing by Sigmund respectively.^[2]^[3]

His extreme need for proper processes have driven him to associate any lack of order with monsters, going so far as to develop homicidal distaste for the disorganisation as well as lack of proper conflict resolution within the goblin hierarchy.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]

The guard gets stunned by Grubfoot as he escapes from the base with the assistance of the player.
