Hama was a man of Rohan and the doorward of King
Theoden.
He took the weapons of Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, and Gimli at the
doors
of Meduseld, but made the "mistake" to not take Gandalf's staff, a
blessing
in the end.
He was the captain of the King's Guard in the Battle of the
Hornburg,
but was slain defending the gate of the Hornburg. He was given a single
grave
near the ramp leading to the gate he defended until the end.
