WHO OR WHAT WAS RANNAMAARI?

Did "RANNAMAARI" really appear in Maldives before converting to Islam? Who was he? Or I think I should ask what was it? I really want an answer from the viewers for this mysterious question. Because this is one of the most important questions about the TRUE HISTORY of Maldives. Apart from that, we, all Maldivians have the right to know about the legend of Rannamaari.  Hope I will get some reply or comments from those who read this.
