BIOGRAPHY
Ram lives with his father and arrives at school the day before the Autumn Prom that April is organising. He knocks Charlie over when he sees him standing and not really paying attention. He also laughs at April when Charlie turns down her invitation to go to prom with her.

On the football pitch, he spots one of the Shadow Kin in shadow form pass over the football pitch and into a teammates shadow. He is distracted and loses the opportunity to score so his coach makes him run laps.

At night, he is on a Skype call to Tanya who helps him with his homework. The two of them talk about having seen the shadows before Ram notices one in Tanya's room. He calls for help whilst Tanya tries to fight off the Shadow Kin that appears in her bedroom before she manages to get rid of it by switching the main light on.

Ram is disbelieving when he discovers that Charlie and Miss Quill are aliens and goes to prom with Rachel. His father tries to dissuade him from putting his girlfriend before his potential career but Ram ignores him. At the prom, Ram is nonetheless wary of the shadows and, like the others, keeps an eye out for more Shadow Kin. He sticks to Rachel and the pair leave the room. As Rachel tells him that he doesn't need to prove anything to her, she is stabbed in front of Ram by a Shadow Kin- spattering him in her blood- and is disintegrated.

A grief stricken and furious Ram attacks the Shadow Kin and has his right leg sliced off. He attacks the Shadow Kin with a chair when it tries to take April with it back through the cracks in space time before collapsing due to his injury. The Doctor later provides him with a robotic prosthetic which Ram has some difficulty in using. He becomes a member of the group though somewhat unwillingly. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)

After the events of the last episode, Ram avoids talking to the rest of the group dealing with his grief alone. He struggles to play football with his new prosthetic and is frustrated by his inability to play anymore. When he goes to talk to one of the coaches, he finds the body skinned and flees in panic reexperiencing Rachel's death in his mind. When he returns mere moments later, he finds no trace of the body and is asked to leave by the other Coach.

Ram passes off what he saw as a PTSD related hallucination and doesn't mention it. In class, the others members of the gang try to stick up for Ram when Miss Quill is harsh and he becomes frustrated. He storms out of the lesson and goes outside for a cigarette with one of the cleaners. They hear a noise from a dumpster and then the cleaner is attacked by a dragon like creature. Ram tries to help her but she is flayed in front of him and he runs.

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)
