'''Romeo Gontamue''' was one of [[Varrock]]'s minor nobles, and a central character in the now removed [[Romeo & Juliet]] quest, where the player had to attempt to unite Romeo with his love, [[Juliet]]. He, along with [[Juliet]] and the quest, were a direct reference to the famous Shakespearean tragedy [[Wikipedia:Romeo and Juliet|Romeo and Juliet]]. Romeo is notably different from the character in the play, 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.

Romeo began the Romeo & Juliet quest, and could have been generally found in [[Varrock Square]], by the fountain. However, he also had a rather large [[wander radius]] for a quest [[NPC]], and has been known to wander as far as Varrock East Bank, the General Store, and even the courtyard of [[Varrock Castle]]. He dressed flamboyantly and holds a bouquet of flowers, similar to the wieldable [[flowers]] obtainable by members.

== Trivia ==
* Romeo bears a striking resemblance to [[Clive (Varrock)|Clive]].
* Romeo's last name, '''Gontamue''', is an anagram of the word '''Montague''', the last name of Romeo in the original Shakespearean play.
* In issue 14 of [[Postbag from the Hedge]], Romeo reveals that his cloak, which appears to be a [[Moonclan cape]], was dropped by the [[Wise Old Man]] in [[Varrock]].
* It was possible to contact Romeo using the spell [[NPC Contact]], where he would act affectionately towards the player. Now that he is no longer in the game, he cannot be contacted.
*As of the [[15 September|15th of September, 2010, update]], Romeo was removed by a mistake. He was then brought back soon after; however, the quest was still possible to start by talking to Juliet.
*Romeo wore a Moonclan cape, while [[Phillipa]] wore a [[Moonclan skirt]].
*Romeo also wore [[Flowers (pastel)]].
*Romeo used to initiate conversations with random people about the [[Romeo & Juliet]] quest to people who had not started it. However, it was removed by Jagex in an update.
*Before the Member's Loyalty Program Update, several emotes had a picture of Romeo.
