Razah

Razah is a Ritualist hero and is a creature made out of the Mists. It entered the realms of the mortals with the physical form of a human, but the nature of its origin is more similar to that of demons.

Lore
In-game description:
 * Razah is a sentient entity spawned from the Mists. 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 shares a connection with all things spiritual, and is a powerful Ritualist.

Razah:
 * Unformed hero
 * "I live to serve."
 * Origin: The Mists
 * Age: Inapplicable
 * Profession: Ritualist
 * 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, Razah will find its purpose by working with a hero. Otherwise, it could degenerate into an abomination as monstrous and inhuman as its demonic brethren.

Recruitment
PvP Unlock: 6,000 Balthazar Faction

PvE Unlock: The quest Finding a Purpose, located in the Gate of Anguish (Location). Given by Chaplain Phyratyss.



Armor
Default armor: "Mysterious" Headwrap, Raiment, Bangles, Leggings, and Shoes.

The appearance of its armor can be upgraded to Primeval Armor using Primeval Armor Remnants acquired in the Domain of Anguish and during The Ebony Citadel of Mallyx mission.

''Note: Screenshots indicate that Razah has another unnamed alternate armor set, which can't be obtained in the Gate of Anguish or in one of the challenge missions, so it's probably not in the game.

Idle quotes

 * "I have learned this much: In all of human existance, there are many kinds of life... and many kinds of death."
 * "Destruction seems a natural part of the human condition."
 * "If I learn to cry, it will not be for me. It will not be for Istan. It will be for the gods themselves, who cannot be a part of the very thing they created."

Trivia

 * Razah is a possible reference to the term "tabula rasa", the thesis that each human being is born with no mental content and is free to be filled in. "Tabula Rasa" is also the name of another game currently in development by NCSoft.
 * Razah's profession is listed as "variable" in the Nightfall manual. This was printed before the final design was decided upon.
 * Razah is currently the only Hero with visible headgear.
