Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Final Fantasy XII

The party encounters Raz at Balfonheim Port after talking to Reddas. He is with Rikken and Elza just outside Reddas's manse. Claiming to be a good judge of character, Raz inspects the party, and claims that they measure up to his expectations. Elza remarks about how Raz could barely measure anything, given his height, but this does not faze Raz.

After the party returns from the Pharos, Raz is surprised to hear of Reddas's death. When Elza says that Reddas had intended to die all along, Raz does not accept it. Elza asks if Raz would like to upset Reddas for all eternity by worrying, which makes Raz change his tone. He wishes his late master peace in the afterlife.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Rikken, Elza, and Raz return and encounter the party over several islands of Lemurés.

Spoilers end here.

Quests

Racing

Main article: Balfonheim Port § Pirate Olympics

Vaan can challenge Rikken, Elza, and Raz for a foot race through the streets of Balfonheim any time after meeting them. There are 100 different races, and winning them yields various curative items and gil.

Raz is the fastest of the three, but he trips a lot, causing him to almost always lose the first races. Beyond the 40th level Raz no longer trips on his own (apart for one fall at the beginning) and Vaan has to prompt it by intercepting Raz's trajectory or approaching him from the side. If the player fails to stop him, Raz will win the race.

-The party can challenge Rikken, Elza, and Raz for a foot race through the streets of Balfonheim any time after meeting them. Racing them only requires pressing two buttons together. Beating them gets the player Potions and curative items. At tier 100 the player gets 10,000 gil, and any tier higher than tier 30 will give them Unpurified Ethers and Elixirs. His constant tripping during the race mirrors that of [[Vivi Ornitier|Vivi]] in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''. Raz is the fastest of all three, but he trips a lot, causing him to almost always get third or fourth.
