Romeo

Romeo Gontamue was one of Varrock's minor nobles and a descendant of Laris Gontamue, one of the founding members of the Elders of Avarrocka. He was a central character in the now removed Romeo & Juliet quest, where the player had to attempt to unite Romeo with his love, Juliet.

Romeo was generally found in Varrock Square, by the fountain. However, he had a rather large wander radius for a quest NPC, and could wander as far as Varrock East Bank, the General Store, and even the courtyard of Varrock Castle. He dressed flamboyantly and held a bouquet of flowers, similar to the wieldable flowers obtainable by members.

Romeo is notably different from the character in the original Shakespearean tragedy, as the RuneScape version appears to be foppish, slow-witted and idiotic. He has trouble with wording his sentences correctly and cannot grasp the basic plan of the quest, thinking that Juliet is a ghost towards the end of the quest and running away.
