===''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.

'''Likes:''' His job as Master of [[The Glade of Dreams|the World]], sailing without a compass, and when [[Razorwife|his wife]] goes on vacation without him.

What appear to be statues of Razorbeard and his robots are seated at a large table, in a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, ''The Last Supper'', with Razorbeard in the place of Jesus. The pirates are covered in cobwebs, and do not move or speak. It is unknown if these are simply statues, or if they are the Robo-Pirates themselves, having died or run out of energy.

Razorbeard is the main villain in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']].

''~~'Profession~~:''~~' THE Bad Guy~~. ~~ ~~

Razorbeard makes a brief appearance in [[Lac-Mac Napping]], the pilot episode of the short-lived cartoon, ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]''. In this series, Razorbeard is not a primary villain as he was in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', but a mere circus employee, and a lackey to [[Rigatoni]], the evil ringmaster. Although Razorbeard retains his irritable personality, his physical appearance has changed; he now has a mouth (which is strangely under his beard), and his hat bears a symbol of crossed keys rather than the [[Robo-Pirate]] insignia. He now has a human, non-robotic voice, which was provided by Carlos Alazraqui.
