Born of Ra. Built to Protect.
The name Radames comes from ancient Egyptian roots — a variation of Ramesses, combining Ra, the supreme god of the sun and truth, with mes, meaning "born of." It translates to "born of Ra" — the god who brought light into darkness.
The name was made famous by Verdi's opera Aida, where Radamès is the young commander chosen to lead — loyal to his mission, relentless in execution, and unwilling to abandon those in his charge. That is the standard every protection detail is held to.
The shield in the logo carries the rising sun of Ra at its center. Protection and light — the same mission, the same name, the same commitment to every client we serve.
