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.

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

==In ''Rayman 2''==

Admiral Razorbeard makes his debut in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', 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-Pirate]]s arrive in a [[Warship]] to raid [[the Glade of Dreams]]. In a memorable battle, [[Rayman]] and [[Ly]] the Fairy defeat the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] on board, 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-Pirate]]s in their encampment at [[the Great Forest]]. However, at this time the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] destroy [[the Heart of the World]], scattering its 1000 constituent [[Yellow Lum]]s across the world. [[The Heart of the World|The Heart]]'s destruction causes [[Rayman]] to lose most of his powers, and the [[Robo-Pirate|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; however, [[1000th Yellow Lum|this Yellow Lum]] is later found in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]. Razorbeard often calls for the [[Spyglass Pirate]] to send [[Warship]]s 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.

===In ''Rayman 2 Forever''===

Razorbeard is the villain of ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Game Boy Color adaptation of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. However, like most characters in this version, his role has been significantly reduced. He has a cameo appearance at the start of the game, although he is not named until [[Rayman]] finds the fourth [[Four Masks of Polokus|mask]] of [[Polokus]]. He appears again just before the final battle. Perhaps the most notable aspect of Razorbeard's role in this version is that although the dialogue implies the final battle to be against him, the sprite used during gameplay is actually that of a [[Henchman 800]]. As Razorbeard's fate is never revealed following the battle, it is not clear if he is intended to be the final boss or not. Either way, the characters celebrate victory after [[Rayman]] has defeated the [[Henchman 800]], suggesting that Razorbeard is no longer a threat at this point.

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]]'', 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.

Razorbeard makes a brief cameo appearance in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', along with several of his [[Robo-Pirate]] servants. They can be found in the third part of the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], in a secret chamber hidden within a gigantic boiler. What appear to be statues of Razorbeard and his [[Robo-Pirate|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-Pirate]]s themselves, having died or run out of energy.
