Razzles is an amiable lich researcher who joined Don Tigre’s clan in 1483 DR. During his time, he greatly enhanced the arcane defenses of the hideout and exploited many magical vulnerabilities of both the Council of Pirate Lords and the Red Wizards of Thay. He claims his undeath is sustained only by the souls of captured murderers, not innocents, and that this serves a divine purpose.
He took a particular interest in Red, the Kid and tried to teach him ancient and esoteric knowledge mostly forgotten by the current world. Razzles later identified Red as a descendant of Father Rogers and claimed Red’s parents were cultists devoted to Rogers.
When his fellow researcher Elindor left the clan in madness, Razzles took over as head of research. When the Seekers visited Luskan and were tasked by Don Tigre to retrieve Elindor, Razzles was the one who magically pinpointed his exact whereabouts.
Upon the group’s return, he discovered that a sacrificial dagger had been used to send souls of those it killed directly to the Kraken. The Seekers asked him to destroy the dagger, but it released a disturbing energy.
Because the Seekers were being hunted by the Council’s assassins, Razzles offered to teleport them out of Luskan, and gave them a crystal so they could occasionally contact him.
During their journey, the Seekers contacted Razzles periodically for insight on strange events — including Gorm, Athrax Volderak, and the aboleth Oosith. He also warned the group of a plot within Don Tigre’s clan to assassinate the visiting Baron Rikkler in Neverwinter, which would have provoked war between Neverwinter and Bryn Shander.
Eventually, the newer members of the Seekers — Connor, Morrigan, and Solomon — discovered that Razzles is a lich. This triggered a debate about whether to remain allied with an undead creature. Red opposed any action against him; Nog and Willow stayed neutral. The remaining members secretly planned to eventually act against Razzles before his possible evil nature could manifest.
He has also spoken of a power vacuum in Calimsharn, escalating instability in Luskan, and of the anti-scrying wards raised by the Red Wizards of Thay. He also described sea elves as deeply supremacist, noting that several, including Seraphina, were investigating developments on the continent.
When Red returned to Luskan with Rogers’ Scimitar, Razzles identified the weapon and Rogers’ daggers as cursed instruments tied to Father Rogers’ contract. He believes Rogers may be an avatar or projection of an archfiend, possibly an ancient Netherese vizier, and that Rogers wants to raise Red into an archfiend beside him.
Razzles believes Illusk, the buried Netherese settlement beneath Luskan, may hide a faction or base connected to these events and suggested an expedition below the city. He also considers Baram manipulable, Kurt dangerous and perceptive, and recommends killing any Pirate Lords who cannot be turned into allies.
Razzles magically disguised Red as a human and said Elindor is saner than before, making a future conversation possible.
