Character Information

Quiet and curious, Razi is almost never without a small notebook and her string of glass prayer beads, which see several dozen turns over the course of any gather night. When such has come up in conversation, she states she is trained as a Rabba and is willing to speak with whomever needs her services. However, she prefers to listen to the conversation than be the focus of it. When at gathering, she actively tries to be helpful in whatever situation she finds herself in- be it finding a Primogen for a visitor, helping calm down a scared ghoul, pointing out interesting news articles worth checking out, or providing information on topics of discussion. In less-than-friendly situations, she acts protective of those around her, doing her best to get non-combatants out of dangerous areas and end confrontations as quickly and amicably as possible.

Known History

Razi first arrived many years ago in Istanbul, meeting up with her family members in Prince Mustafa's court and seeking Acknowledgement. She remained there until March of 2011, when she relocated to the Twin Cities to escape the "Arab Spring" discontent. Her Probationary sect standing was removed by Justicar Maris Streck in early-mid June after an official visit to Cardiff. She has been seen most notably in the company of other Children of Haqim, such as Prince Morgan Wynn Howell and clanmates from the Winona and La Crosse domains. Lately, however, she's been seen working closely with the Toreador residents on several different matters.

  • Spike Spiegel and Ed from Cowboy Bebop and Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (Knockin' on Heaven's Door)
  • Samurai Champloo
  • Door and Hunter from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere
  • Jewish Folktales; selected and retold by Pinhas Sadeh
  • Lilith's Cave: Jewish Tales of the Supernatural; selected and retold by Howard Schwartz, Illustrated by Uri Shulevitz

Quotes

"Forgive me, my English is not quite recovered."

"Why don't you let me drive? My car is much less... noticeable, yes." - said to some clanmates about to go "patrolling" in a bright yellow, pimped-out Hummer

"How may I help?"

"Perhaps a joke would help you cheer up: two rabbis walk into a deli, one turns to the other and says, 'hey, did ya hear the one about us?'" -said to a nervous ghoul at gather

"...wait, so the glittery one used to be Prince?" -on first learning about then-Archon Zio! during his last visit to the Twin Cities

Mrs. Priscilla Howell: "So Digger, what task did you give the Children of Haqim to do?"
Seneschal Digger: "Oh... I didn't give them one..."
Priscilla: "Why not?"
Digger: "Well, they're not exactly... um, they don't..."
Razi, smiling: "It's alright Seneschal, you may say whatever is on your mind- I promise I will not be offended."

(CoH Only) "The exchange of knowledge is itself a shield against our enemies in times like this."

Prince Berith: "... and that stuff's just the beginning of all the crap we've got to deal with."
Razi: "Things that would require the 'patience of Job.'"
Berith: "Oh, don't get me started on that guy!"

"Who's Horace?" -said to Primogen Sylphain Delille

Rumors

  • (CoH only) She's not only an actual Rabba, but a Soferet (Jewish ritual scribe) as well.
  • Harpy Eiken likes her because of her Sire.
  • She's a seer and an oracle.
  • Razi talks in Yiddish when she's having a bad day.
  • Before his death, she followed Felix Alabastor around wherever he went in the Twin Cities.
  • She doesn't get the whole "all Assamites are Muslim" thing.
  • Oh yeah, she's Rishi's kid alright... she just needs something to trigger his kind of crazy.
  • Is a tee-totalling, holier-than-thou, goodie-two-shoes. Or maybe she just hasn't tried the dark side's cookies yet.
  • Razi and Jacob Nazarene really need to meet each other. It will either be awesome or some piece of reality will spontaneously disappear.
  • Razi doesn't use Kalif, ever- she thinks Felix smoked enough for the both of them.
  • Definitely prefers ninjas to pirates.
  • Razi is a "cleaner" for the Assamites of the Twin Cities. She does the wet-work Morgan can't do himself.
  • Considers herself a continual failure, which is why she's so forgiving to everyone around her.
  • Occasionally puts on a lingerie strip-show when she's alone at her place, just so she can watch at gather to see which Nosferatu was spying on her.
