While created as a war machine, Ramattra has only ever wanted to create a better future for omnics. As the leader of Null Sector, Ramattra enjoys incredible support from his people, and is primed to impose his philosophies on the world. What his goals might cost, however, remains to be seen. Because of their precarious situation, Ramattra believes that omnics should only care about their own kind, and never consider humanity in their struggle for survival. He is not above working with humans however. Despite their divergent paths, he remains fond of Zenyatta, and believes there is no omnic in the world who understands him better (though Nameless is a close second). Despite being his creator, Ramattra despises Anubis. Ramattra is mostly emotionally reserved, but his anger can boil over while in battle. His Nemesis form is a product of his own design; a product of his genius mind, and the manifestation of his rage. He uses it sparingly however, as he prefers tactical precision to brute force. Ramattra was originally built as a Ravager during the Omnic Crisis. Though he was built for war, Ramattra only wished to create a better future for his people. After the war, he shed his munitions. He chose the name "Ramattra" to "honor the first of our [omnic/Ravager] kind and kept it to remember my mistakes." After the Omnic Crisis, the Ravagers were hunted to near extinction, leaving Ramattra as one of the few remaining models. Adrift, confused, and enraged, he heard rumors concerning Aurora. Intrigued and seeking direction, he traveled to Nepal to join the Shambali, with the hope of coexisting with humans, and putting his former life behind him. He survived the harsh journey, and was welcomed by Tekhartha Mondatta. Choosing to become a monk, Ramattra studied under Mondatta for years, learning about the Iris, and the importance of coexisting with humans. Years later, Ramattra began venturing outside the temple seeking enlightenment to promote the monk's message of peace. Seven years before the King's Row Uprising, it was on one of his pilgrimages that he met a young omnic named Zenyatta whom he guided to the monastery after a perilous journey, in hopes the omnic would find purpose there as he did. There the two studied under Mondatta and became "as close as brothers," and spent years discussing the problems facing omnics, including the injustices being committed by humans. The two sat up at night counting stars, wondering how many omnics were doing the same. While in the village beneath the monastery, some of the humans in the village knocked Ramattra to his knees, nearly killing him. At some point, Ramattra committed an action/lack of action that nearly resulted in Zenyatta's death As time wore on, Ramattra failed to see true progress in the monks' mission of peace. The Shambali urged Ramattra to be patient, but all around him, Ramattra saw his people dying, and no one taking action as his frustrations grew. Despite the attempts at peace, most humans were still opposed to accepting omnics, and as the discrimination continued, so did the amount of destroyed omnics. Forced to watch the already limited number of his people dwindle, and believing that Mondatta wasn't doing enough to alleviate the situation, Ramattra abandoned the idea of coexistence and developed a long-lasting hatred for humanity, coming to the conclusion that the only way to create a better future for omnic kind was through force. Four years before the King's Row Uprising, Ramattra decided to leave the Shambali and began to approach his convictions from a more pragmatic angle—justifying any means necessary to defend his fellow omnics. He tried to convince Zenyatta to join him, but his fellow monk refused. On the day of his departure, he conversed with Mondatta and Zenyatta. While his fellow monks were sad to see him go, Ramattra told them that he no longer believed that the answers for omnics' salvation could be found inside the monastery. Mondatta remained committed to his conciliatory approach to humanity, but Ramattra feared that humanity had no interest in sharing their world. He asked Zenyatta one last time as to whether he had reconsidered his decision to stay, but Zenyatta remained committed to the Shambali. Zenyatta told him they would meet again, and promptly left. After Ramattra's departure, he and Zenyatta ceased all contact. However, Ramattra remained fond of Zenyatta. After leaving the monastery, Ramattra began seeking out omnics fighting in secret around the world, and protecting them from the abuse of humans. The truths he shared with those he met inspired others and over time he gained an underground following of these hurt and angry omnics. Ramattra initially focused on building loyalty in his followers, but true radicalization and militarization would not be far behind. At some point after leaving the Shambali, Ramattra upgraded himself, allowing him to transform into a hulking robot. Ramattra quickly began a series of operations to free omnics from facilities keeping them as slaves. He became well known among omnics. He realized that most omnics were pinning their hopes on the Shambali. In his eyes, it seemed that the truth that no-one was coming to save them was too much to hear. After a fight at one such facility, Ramattra was seen by a rabbit-eared omnic calling themselves Nameless. Recognizing Ramattra as the Ravager working to free omnics, they decided to join him, alongside their friends Zera and Lanet. Together with his allies, he formed and became the leader of the omnic extremist liberation faction Null Sector. In its infancy, Null Sector was a small organization, and couldn't make a difference. Given his lack of allies, the group didn't appear that dangerous to the world. Two years before the King's Row Uprising, Ramattra, Zera, and Lanet traveled to an omnium created by the rogue AI Anubis, where Ramattra was originally built. Inside, he gained access to the omnium's control center, activating the assembly lines. After two years, Ramattra's forces were large enough to warrant a test. The target was London, to liberate the omnics there and see how his forces would perform to a world nearly two decades after the Omnic Crisis. That London was one of the "cruelest cities" for omnics further spurred his decision. His plan was to establish a stronghold inside London, and make it a safe place for their fellow omnics. Through doing so, other omnics would rally to their cause. Four days before the Uprising, Ramattra was met with protests from Lanet, who argued that the robots produced by the omnium were obsolete and outdated. Ramattra countered that they were usable, being expendable, unlike the omnics. Despite continued disagreement from Lanet and the proposal of an alternate plan from Zera and Nameless, he pushed forward with the Uprising. The Uprising ended in failure, thanks to Overwatch; a contingency Ramattra hadn't foreseen, as the group had been banned from operating within the United Kingdom. Furthermore, Lanet, who'd been sent to King's Row, was killed in the crossfire. Two days after the Uprising, Ramattra angrily watched news reports regarding the Uprising, growing agitated during an interview with Mondatta. Reaching a boiling point, he lashed out, striking the screen. Despite wide condemnation of Null Sector from omnics, Ramattra pushed past a point of no return, stating he would fight to liberate omnics, whether they wished for it or not. This sparked an argument against Zera and Nameless, who left their increasingly radical friend. Ramattra was then left to lead Null Sector and pursue his goal alone. One year later, Ramattra was contacted by Talon council member Doomfist to arrange a meeting in Cairo, praising him for his organization's noble goals to fight for their people, though claimed they were doomed to fail unless Null Sector chose to form an alliance with Talon, with Ramattra expressing interest in the offer. However, the result of this conversation remains unknown, as Doomfist was arrested by an Overwatch strike team in Singapore roughly three weeks later. 26 years after the end of the Omnic Crisis, Null Sector launched a global assault. At Toronto, not long after the attack started, a speech by Ramattra was broadcast across the city. While his identity remained hidden, he urged his fellow omnics to join his side. Even after the city fell, the broadcast continued Ramattra's favorite animal is the ant. In his words, "they build marvelous structures and cooperate when threatened. I find them...inspirational." Ramattra's origin as an R-7000 once troubled him, given the fear and hatred his model inspired in humanity. Now, this gives him "a warm little feeling inside." Like many omnics, Ramattra wishes he could have met Aurora. If given the opportunity, he would ask her "the same thing I would ask her every day."
