===''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''===

Admiral Razorbeard makes his debut in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', where he is the main villain and the commander of the invading [[Robo-Pirate]] army. Prior to the game's opening, Razorbeard and a group of Robo-Pirates arrive in a [[Warship]] to raid [[the Glade of Dreams]]. In a memorable battle, [[Rayman]] and [[Ly the Fairy]] defeat the pirates onboard, who flee in an escape capsule.<ref>Rayman2.com, http://web.archive.org/web/20000303195426/http://www.rayman2.com/en/story/story_txt3.html</ref> Razorbeard is enraged by this defeat; he and his Robo-Pirate servants practise their marksmanship by firing cannonballs at statues of Rayman.<ref>Rayman2.com, http://web.archive.org/web/20000411081114/http://www.rayman2.com/en/story/story_txt4.html</ref> Soon afterwards, the Robo-Pirate army arrives in full force: the invasion begins. Some time later, Rayman, [[Globox]] and a few other members of the resistance attack the Robo-Pirates in their encampment at [[the Great Forest]]. However, at this time the pirates destroy [[the Heart of the World]], scattering its 1000 constituent [[Yellow Lum]]s across the world. The Heart's destruction causes Rayman to lose most of his powers, and the pirates capture him. Rayman encounters Razorbeard for the second time, and they exchange threats and vows of enmity. The beginning of the game picks up immediately afterwards: Globox and Ly the Fairy help Rayman to escape. Throughout the rest of the game, Razorbeard spends most of his time in the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', where he sits on his throne, waiting for his lackey, the [[Spyglass Pirate]], to give him news of Rayman's whereabouts. At one point in the game, he eats a [[Yellow Lum]], reducing the maximum number on the on-screen counter from 1000 to 999; owever, this Yellow Lum is later found in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]. Razorbeard often calls for the Spyglass Pirate to send Warships out to capture Rayman, and his frustration with Rayman's constant evasion leads him to issue orders for the hero's return to him, dead or alive.
