Rohan Agalawatta

"Despite sharing his name with a region of Middle-Earth, Rohan has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings, unless you count a mane worthy of an Elven Chieftain. What he does do are deft,daft puns in a laconic style out of the Steven Wright book. Genuinely funny, and distinctly different from most of his peers" The TIMES.
