Admiral Razorbeard is the leader of the [[Robo-Pirate]] army, which invades [[the Glade of Dreams]] and captures most of the world's inhabitants to use as slaves. He is a short robot with a peg-leg, wearing a huge Admiral's hat and striped red-and-white trousers, and his face sports the large, crooked metal beard from which his name is derived. In [[Hands Down!]] it is mentioned that his beard is made of steel.

Admiral Razorbeard is infamous throughout the universe for invading and conquering over one hundred peaceful planets and reducing their inhabitants to slavery; these planets were left as nothing more than interstellar dust, and it is unknown what fate the slaves suffered. <ref>RaymanWorld.com, http://web.archive.org/web/20010511053040/www.raymanworld.com/uk/images5/perso-w/amiral.html</ref> In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', Razorbeard and his [[Robo-Pirate]] army invade [[Rayman]]'s world, [[the Glade of Dreams]]. In ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]'', however, Razorbeard works at a circus, as a mere servant to the Ringmaster, [[Rigatoni]]; this starkly contrasts with his role in the games, and it is unclear whether the events of [[Rayman: The Animated Series|the animated series]] are part of the game series's continuity. In ''[[Rayman M]]'', it was revealed that Razorbeard has a wife, aptly named [[Razorwife]], who can be unlocked as a playable character in the game.

According to the manual for ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', Razorbeard has a mother, who detests [[Razorwife]] and blames her for her son's failure in his evil career.

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

Admiral Razorbeard is the commander of the [[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.

At a late point in the game, Razorbeard receives a very special visitor; this is [[the general]] from ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'', making a cameo appearance in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. This guest offers to sell the Admiral the [[Grolgoth]], a powerful pilot-controlled robot which could be used to kill [[Rayman]]. Razorbeard fantasises about the robot shaking Rayman to death, and decides to purchase it. He then lures Rayman to [[the Crow's Nest]] using [[Globox]] as bait. After a lengthy battle, the Grolgoth is defeated. Razorbeard flees in a flying escape pod after activating the Grolgoth's self-destruct mechanism, which destroys the ''[[Buccaneer]]'' entirely. Rayman survives the explosion, while Razorbeard flees into space in his escape pod. He is seen flying beyond the stars in the credits sequence. His current whereabouts are unknown.
