Biography
Ram lived with his father and arrived at school the day before the Autumn Prom that April was organising. He knocked Charlie over when he saw him standing and not really paying attention. He also laughed at April when Charlie turned down her invitation to go to prom with her.

On the football pitch, he spotted one of the Shadow Kin in shadow form pass over the football pitch and into a teammates shadow. He was distracted and lost the opportunity to score so his coach made him run laps.

One night, he was on a Skype call to Tanya who helped him with his homework. The two of them talked about having seen the shadows before as Ram noticed one right behind her in Tanya's room. He called for help whilst Tanya tried to fight off the Shadow Kin that appeared in her bedroom before she managed to get rid of it by switching the main light on.

Singh was disbelieving when he discovered that Charlie and Miss Quill were aliens. He then after goes to prom with Rachel. His father tried to dissuade him from putting his girlfriend before his potential career but Ram ignores him. At the prom, Ram was nonetheless wary of the shadows and, like the others, kept an eye out for more Shadow Kin. He stuck to Rachel and the pair leftthe room. As Rachel told him that he didn't "need to prove anything" to her, she was stabbed in front of Ram by a Shadow Kin- spattering him in her blood- and was disintegrated.

A grief struck and furious Singh attacked the Shadow Kin which led to him having his right leg sliced off. He then attacked the Shadow Kin with a chair when it tried to take April with it back through the cracks in space time before he collapsed due to his injury. The Doctor later provided him with a robotic prosthetic which Ram had some difficulty in using. He became a member of the group though somewhat unwillingly. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)

After the events of the Prom night, Ram avoided talking to the rest of the group as he dealt with his grief alone. He struggled to play football with his new prosthetic and was frustrated by his inability to play anymore. When he went to talk to a coach, he found the body skinned and fled in panic whimsy re-experiencing Rachel's death in his mind. When he returned mere moments later, he found no trace of the body and was asked to leave by Dawson.

Ram passed off what he saw as a PTSD related hallucination and didn't mention it. In class, the others tried to stick up for Ram when Miss Quill was harsh, he then becomes frustrated. He stormed out of the lesson and goes outside for a cigarette with one of the cleaners. They hear a noise from a dumpster but dismiss it as nothing. During this dismissel, the cleaner was attacked by a dragon like creature. Ram tried to help her but she is flayed in front of him, he could do nothing but run.

On Skype he tells Tanya what happened but when they investigate the dumpster they find nothing. The Coach kicks them off the school grounds and they leave. Ram confronts the Coach during school about being reassigned to the Second Team and asks for his help. He notices the Coach's tattoo move but says nothing until he is on Skype with the others and realises the dragon creature is the tattoo.

The four meet up outside school and witness the Coach binning the skin of Mr Armitage and Ram confronts him. Miss Quill suddenly crashes through a window being chased by the dragon creature and the Coach explains the tattoo on his skin is the creature's mate. The creature kills people for his mate to feed on as the Coach can't get her off of his skin.

The Coach orders the dragon to kill the children or he'll cut his skin and kill the mate. Ram confronts the dragon himself telling it about having lost someone and maybe it can negotiate on its own terms. The dragon considers and abducts the Coach dragging him back through the time crack to presumably flay.

Tanya convinces Ram that he doesn't have to deal with his grief alone. That night, Ram tries practising football until his father comes to talk to him. Ram finally explains everything including his prosthetic leg and his father helps him with practise. (TV: The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo)
