Ogma is one of the Azata Lords listed in the first Bestiary. There really isn't any information available on that being other than that he, she, or it is apparently a champion of something.
Pretty much know what races and causes that being is tied to in terms of PC beliefs and an alternate flavor fan project, but this is the one thing I can't get a solid handle on.
Which way sounds more fitting for the name? Or would actually setting in it stone as vague actually be the best way to go, as it would be a being that mortals instinctively project their own racial/ethnic/gender identities upon, making that being an idealized vision of something they relate to in order to inspire them that much more, which could really resonate with oppressed/underdog groups of people. The ultimate CG "blank slate", so to speak.
The original Ogma (LINK) was a dude. I'm quite sure he served as an inspiration, too, since he was Nuadu's champion.
The name at least, comes from an Irish diety that was champion of the Tuatha. He is the inventor of the writting system of Irish runes, and is refered to as the "honey tounged". He was described as being an old well muscled man that had many features associated with Herakles, and thin gold chain's running from his tounge to his followers ears.
