Romeo Gontamue[1] is a citizen of Varrock who is part of the Romeo & Juliet quest.
He can be found in Varrock Square, but he seems to have an incredibly large wander range, especially for a quest NPC. He can often be found in the general store, but sometimes wanders over to inside the east bank or even the courtyard of Varrock Palace.
He is one of the few non-player characters that will initiate a conversation with players without them clicking on him.

Trivia
- Romeo is a direct reference to the character of the same name from the famous Shakespearean tragedy Romeo and Juliet. His surname Gontamue is an anagram of Montague, the name of Romeo's family in Romeo and Juliet.
- Romeo has a poor memory and often messes up his words (for example, forgetting Juliet's name, saying "East North" instead of "North East", and switching around the first letters of some words, like "Carrockian vitizens"). This is because he was intentionally written by Mod Tytn to be stupid in an amusing way.
- Romeo carries assorted flowers.
- Romeo replied to a letter in the fourteenth issue of Postbag from the Hedge, where he wrote that he stole his Moonclan cape from an elderly man with a blue partyhat. The letter was later removed by Jagex. A transcript of the removed letter is posted in the trivia section of Postbag #14, The woeful tale of the bunny ears.
- Romeo had a festive graphical override during the 2014, 2015, 2019, 2023, 2024, and 2025 Christmas event.
