Considering there’s a thread about him on the front page… yes, people do still remember Razah.

Your point?

Konig be nice ^^

AEFA in the future check the threads and search for the topic you want,since its already being debated no use in opening a new thread,do you have any specific questions regarding Razah?

I may not have been nice, but I wasn’t rude.

What’s the point of AEFA’s question? What’s there to discuss exactly? >.> Or I suppose I should say “What is AEFA wanting to discuss/ask about Razah?”

Well…Search doesn’t really work all that well. As to the topic, I bet we could guess the questions.

Does anyone remember this guy?

Followups:
Do we know what happened to him/it?
Has Anet said anything about bringing him back?
Why aren’t there more like him?

“The protomatter that makes up the Mists strains toward creation, often spawning demonic creations in nightmarish forms. Not all creatures from the Mists are demonic, however. When the Mists come into contact with a suitable human template, for example, it can copy that form, creating a sentient entity with humanoid appearance and an almost human mind.

Razah is one such creation. It has sprung into being a fully-formed adult. It has the knowledge and capabilities of a human, but lacks common sense. As a result, it asks odd questions about human emotions, contemplates human motivations, and attempts to duplicate human mannerisms. Razah is a contradiction: more than human in some ways, and less than human in others. It needs an identity, a personality, and a purpose. Hopefully, it will find its purpose by working with a hero. Otherwise, it could degenerate into an abomination as monstrous and inhuman as its demonic brethren."

Razah was a concept that was promised before the release of Nightfall, but which they were unable to deliver in time for release (they just made him a ritualist instead). He is an interesting character, but sadly we do not learn much about him during the actual game. Much later they still added the option to change his profession, as was originally promised. If anything, Razah’s back story tells us a bit more about how the Mists work.
