![]() Hugo Grief's experiments to create human clones and Julius's pathological need to kill Alex. He also finds out about Julius's backstory, learning about Dr. After an incident where Julius disobeys his orders and goes after Alex, Razim orders him to stay put until he needs him. In his fortress near the Egyptian town of Siwa, Razim continues his experiments, kidnapping people off the streets and torturing them to death in order to confirm his findings about the measurement of pain. Razim then arranges for Julius Grief, Alex's clone, to be broken out of jail to perform the assassination. However, Kroll is assassinated by a sniper on Kurst's orders and Operation Horseman is able to go ahead, with Kroll's corpse used as the dead criminal. Due to Scorpia's rules that they have to be unanimous to pass any motion, this means Razim's plan can't go ahead. However, board member Levi Kroll objects on the grounds that Alex has defeated them twice before and will probably survive. In order to get Alex sent to Egypt, Razim plans to kill an internationally wanted terrorist and leave his body in the Thames with evidence making it look like Scorpia is going to strike at a boy's school for millionaire's children in Cairo. Razim later arrives at the Scorpia meeting, where he explains his plan, Operation Horseman: to assassinate the US Secretary of State as she is about to make an anti-British speech in Cairo, then kill teenage MI6 agent Alex Rider and leave his body nearby to frame him and, using previously collected evidence, blackmail the British government into returning the marbles rather than release the fact that Alex worked for MI6. To this end, he begins torturing Fontaine with knives, eventually killing him off-page. As Fontaine pleads for his life and attempts to convince Razim that his organisation is on his trail, Razim reveals his ambition: to create a measurement of pain named the "Razim" after him. Razim hangs up, and approaches Luc Fontaine, a captured French secret agent. Razim is contacted by Zeljan Kurst, chief executive of Scorpia, who requests that he carry out an assignment requested by Greek billionaire Yannis Ariston Xenopolos to get the Elgin marbles returned to Greece, which Razim agrees to. Razim responded by using his suicide vest to blow up his superior before hiding from Al Qaeda in Cairo, where Scorpia found him. ![]() He managed to become head of his own terrorist cell, before his superior suggested he might become a suicide bomber. After Saddam was indeed overthrown, Razim joined Al Qaeda, not out of any Islamic fundamentalism, but because he wanted to organise terror attacks, seeing it as a game. In 2003, Iraq was invaded, and Razim fled rather than be captured by the British and Americans, who he correctly predicted would win the war. His time in the Mukhabarat caused him to experience pleasure for the first time, as he enjoyed the sensation of being feared and having the ability to have anyone killed. He also once stabbed a fellow officer to death for saying that he looked like Harry Potter. Several years later, he was invited to join the Mukhabarat, Saddam's brutal secret police, and quickly rose through the ranks to become the most feared man in Iraq barring Saddam himself, allegedly bathing in the blood of his enemies daily. Razim then handed the recording over to the police, leading to his parents being executed and his sister being arrested and implicitly raped by the secret police.Īfter this, Razim was called in to talk with the commissioner of police, who informed him he was being placed with foster parents, narrowly resisting the urge to shoot Razim in the process due to his unnerving lack of any real emotion regarding his parents execution. Soon after, his parents, immediately realising Saddam was insane, held a meeting with several high-ranking friends to discuss how they could get rid of him, not realising Razim was recording the whole thing. It didn't.Īfter Saddam Hussein came to power, Razim heard about an incident in which he forced party members accused of treason to execute other party members and decided that he supported Saddam as they shared sadistic tendencies. ![]() In order to put this to the test, he strangled his dog in the orchard to see if this would make him feel sad. He was also a genius, although he quickly began to realise that he was different from other children in one key way: he didn't feel emotions. Growing up, he was a difficult child, driving away all the nannies his parents attempted to install in the household (stabbing at least one of them in the thigh with a pair of scissors). Razim was born in the Iraqi town of Tikrit in 1966.
