Razoff

Line 25:

Razoff has several statues of [[Sssssam]] the snake in his mansion, hinting that Razoff has encountered, or at least knows of, the character. Most likely, Razoff has hunted Sssssam at some point. Whether he actually killed or captured Sssssam at some point between ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' is unknown; however, it should be noted that Razoff's inherited obligation to capture an exotic prey does not yet seem to be fulfilled by the time of ''Rayman 3''.

~~It should be noted that from his~~ telescope ~~there~~ is a wide array of switches and panels ~~which presumably control~~ the ~~doors. Interestingly enough,~~ the ~~panels were also present~~ in [[Rayman 2]], ~~indicating~~ that ~~when the~~ [[~~Buccaneer~~]] ~~blew up~~, ~~parts landed~~ in ~~the~~ [[~~Bog~~ of ~~Murk~~]].

The room in which Razoff's telescope is housed contains a wide array of switches and control panels. Some of the equipment seen in the room is identical to that used by the [[Robo-Pirate]] invaders in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', which suggests that Razoff may be putting some old Robo-Pirate wreckage to work. The [[Hoodlum]] vehicle [[Céloche]], fought in [[the Land of the Livid Dead]], also appears to be constructed from the wreckage of Robo-Pirate installations.

Razoff is last seen struggling in the grip of [[Bégoniax]], the hideous witch who is madly in love with him. It is said that Bégoniax exacts revenge on the men who reject her love by transforming them into [[toad]]s, and that she then breeds with them, producing so many tadpoles that she does not know what to do with them. This offers a clue as to Razoff's potential fate.

Line 34:

In [[Razoff Circus]], a first-person shooter minigame, the player controls Razoff as he practises his marksmanship, using his mansion as a shooting gallery. Since this training is meant to account for the skills Razoff displays when [[Rayman]] encounters him, it is most likely that this minigame takes place before the events of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''; however, the presence of targets depicting Rayman, [[Globox]] and various [[Hoodlum]]s implies a more contemporaneous setting.

In [[Commando]], a top-down third-person shooter, Razoff is delighted to find that his land has been invaded by [[Hoodlum]] trespassers, as this gives him an excuse to take potshots at them. The player controls the hunter as he battles his way through a small Hoodlum army. Since this minigame depicts the Hoodlum invasion, it is most likely that it takes place around the time of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. His gun ~~is shown to~~ kill enemy [[Hoodmonger]]s with one hit and [[Hoodboom]]s with three, ~~indicating his~~ gun ~~is probably one and a half times~~ more powerful ~~than~~ [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]].

His gun can kill enemy [[Hoodmonger]]s with one hit and [[Hoodboom]]s with three; judging by these statistics, the gun must be fifty per cent more powerful that [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]].

In [[Crush]], the player controls Razoff's wrecking-ball as he uses it to squash an infestation of toads, which was caused by [[Bégoniax]]'s spell. This minigame evidently takes place after the events of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', and indicates that Bégoniax ~~may have become~~ vengeful when Razoff spurned her advances.
