Quests
- Still in the Dark: If the player chooses to side with Head Paladin Hardin against Elder McNamara, Ramos will provide background information about how the Brotherhood functions can be used to build a case for ousting McNamara. Although Ramos is loyal to McNamara, crediting the Elder's leadership with saving the chapter during the battle at HELIOS One, he will become Head Paladin Ramos after Hardin becomes the new Elder.
Effects of the player's actions
- If Hardin becomes Elder, Ramos will carry the Head Paladin keycard needed to activate the bunker's self-destruct computer, which can be used in the quests Render Unto Caesar; For the Republic, Part 2; and The House Always Wins.
