The in-game information states that Count Razoff is the son of Count Zaroff, and the grandson of Nimrod and Artemis. He also claims to hold the Chair of Cynegenics at the University of Tyr-Kainkou. He has settled in [[the Bog of Murk]], as is his family's tradition, and he will return to his homeland only when he has captured an exotic prey. He also appears to enjoy capturing lesser creatures; several [[Ugly|Uglies]] are imprisoned in his mansion, and at least one [[Mawpaw]] is locked up in his dungeon. It is not known if his mansion was handed down to him from his father, or if each member of [[Shoedsackovskaïa family|the family]] must have their own dwelling constructed in the region. ‘Schoedsackovski’ is not explicitly mentioned as Razoff's surname, but this detail can be derived from actual Slavic surnames of similar form.<ref>Wikipedia, ''Family name'', http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_name#Slavic_countries</ref> | The in-game information states that Count Razoff is the son of Count Zaroff, and the grandson of Nimrod and Artemis.

Razoff's mansion is located in [[the Bog of Murk]]. It is very large and classical mansion with many statues inside including statues of [[Ssssam]], [[piranha]]s and a statue of Razoff riding a [[Goaty]] (a [[Rayman 3 (early production)|scrapped]] character from the game). There are also several bug-like creatures called [[Ugly|Uglies]] which can be found chained-up in his mansion; if [[Rayman]] frees the [[Ugly|Uglies]], they thank him by giving him [[Red Lum]]s before flying away. Typical for Razoff, in his mansion is a vast array of guns and a cannon. [[Globox]] was accidentally transported to the basement of Razoff's mansion when he was separated from [[Rayman]] in the [[Teensie Highway]]. Also in the basement are a large ball and chain which Razoff attempts to kill [[Rayman]] with, a magic mirror similar to the one found in [[Bégoniax]]'s house, and at least one [[Mawpaw]], a large plesiosaur-like creature with a hand for a head which Razoff was apparently keeping imprisoned, and who helps [[Rayman]] out in the battle by giving him [[Heavy Metal Fist]] power-ups and placing him back on the platform when he falls down. | Razoff's mansion is located in [[the Bog of Murk]].
