Razam

Razam Razor-Wrist, a formidable and renowned warrior for his monstrous strength, holds a rather secretive backstory deeply entwined with the tragedy that befell his tribe in the Jungles of Tigre. Recently, Razam found himself in a spirited arm wrestling match with Kairus the Brass at the The Dragon's Roar tavern, an encounter that led to a candid conversation about his past and his estranged brother, Ramune Leone.

Razam and his brother Ramune were once proud members of a powerful tribe in the Jungles of Tigre. Their tribe thrived under the dense canopy, living in harmony with the wild and mastering the ways of the jungle. However, their world was shattered when the Tarrasque, a colossal and terrifying beast, ravaged their homeland. The ferocious onslaught left their tribe decimated, and their ancestral home in ruins.

In the aftermath of the devastation, Ramune chose to flee the jungle, seeking refuge and a new life in The Sands of Serrakhan. There, he adopted the name Ramune Al-Leone and began a new chapter as a noble, far removed from the horrors of his past.

Razam, on the other hand, stayed behind, haunted by the loss and burdened by the responsibility of what remained of their people. Over the years, he harbored a deep resentment towards his brother, viewing Ramune's departure as an act of cowardice. To Razam, his brother's decision to abandon their tribe and embrace a life of nobility was a betrayal of their heritage and duty.

During his arm wrestling match with Kairus The Brass, Razam revealed his complicated feelings about Ramune. Though he outwardly condemns his brother as a coward, deep down, Razam's feelings are more nuanced. Beneath the layers of bitterness and anger, there is a lingering respect for Ramune's strength and resilience. Despite the resentment, Razam cannot entirely dismiss the bond they once shared.

He confided in Kairus that he often thinks about what might have been if Ramune had stayed. Razam's harsh exterior belies a heart that still yearns for reconciliation, though his pride prevents him from admitting it openly. The pain of losing his tribe and the burden of survival have hardened him, but the memory of his brother remains a significant, albeit conflicted, part of his life.

Razam, a courageous Leonin warrior and brother to Ramune Leone, met his tragic end in the Tani Mountains, sacrificing himself to ensure the survival of his allies, The Sunsations. Known for his warriors spirit and bravery, Razam’s demise was orchestrated through the deceit of Ren-Li, a cunning Rakshasa warlock.

Ren-Li, using his illusory powers, disguised himself as Kairus the Brass a trusted ally of Razam and his brother Ramune. Under this guise, Ren-Li manipulated the siblings into traveling early to the perilous Tani Mountains, claiming urgent aid was needed. The deception placed them directly in the path of Yoroku, the abyssal hydra that terrorized the valley.

When the Sunsations became trapped in the valley’s deadly spider-web labyrinth, entangled by the webs of phase spiders, Razam rose to the challenge. Wielding only his claws, he fought valiantly to carve a path of escape for his allies. As the hydra unleashed its fury and the mountains began to collapse, Razam’s final act of heroism saved the Sunsations but cost him his life. A falling boulder from the collapsing cliffs struck him down, ending the life of a warrior who refused to abandon those he cared for.

Though his death was the result of Ren-Li’s treachery, his bravery ensured that the Sunsations could continue their quest, forever honoring his memory. His brother Ramune carries his spirit forward, vowing vengeance against Ren-Li for her brother’s demise.

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows over the streets of Tigre Town as Chance, a cunning illusionist, found himself face-to-face with Razam, the towering Leonin bruiser renowned for his incredible strength. Intrigued by rumors of Razam's arm-wrestling prowess and his possible knowledge of a certain Leonin who held the Deck of Many Things, Chance decided to challenge the towering Leonin a challenge the latter accepted with a confident smirk. As the arm-wrestling match was about to begin, Chance subtly cast a minor illusion spell, causing a warm wetness to spread across Razam's pants. The gathered crowd roared with laughter, thinking Razam had lost control of his bladder out of fear.

The Leonin’s face reddened in mortification, but he was too caught up in the challenge to react otherwise. Simultaneously, Chance stealthily cast a strength-enhancing spell on himself, unbeknownst to Razam or the crowd. As they both gripped hands, Chance surprised everyone, including Razam, by overpowering him, his magically-enhanced strength triumphing over Razam’s natural might.

At this point, Donatello, the party's Tortle bard, struck up a triumphant tune, strumming out a rendition of "We Are The Champions" that had the crowd singing along and dancing in the streets. This public humiliation was an unfamiliar blow to Razam’s pride, who was more accustomed to being the champion of these matches. Seeing the hurt pride in Razam's eyes, Chance couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. He offered Razam a second chance, under one condition: if Razam won, he would share what he knew about the mysterious Leonin with the Deck of Many Things. 

This time, the tables turned. Razam, fueled by a desire to restore his honor, overpowered Chance, his arm coming down with such force that it smashed through the wooden table they were using. He then lifted Chance high into the air, bellowing in triumph, much to the awe and cheers of the crowd. The encounter had taken a surprising turn, and as Chance was set down, he found himself humbled. It was a lesson in the dangers of underestimating one's opponent and the unexpected twists that the City of Hojo always seemed to provide.
