Raze

Simply put, Raze poses the greatest threat that Mankind has ever known. He is one half of the Z-Kron microbe, a designer germ created by the Combine for a single purpose: to terminate its target host. Raze’s method of accomplishing this is diabolically simple.

First, his forces enter the victim’s body disguised as harmless streptococci bacteria. Once inside Raze grows into his final terrifying form, while his soldiers explode, releasing a deadly virus which opens a second front against the defending armies, stretching their resources to the breaking point.

Raze is a fierce warrior. His gnarled body bristles with poisonous barbed scales, some of which he can shoot at others as pili spikes. In addition to his razor-clawed hands and feet, Raze has six powerful tentacles that can grab and crush those poor souls unfortunate enough to cross his path. Thanks to Dr. Kelso, he also has the ability to mutate himself in order to defend against anything the Immune System throws at him.

Perhaps Raze’s most important power is his ability to mutate other strains of bacteria into his obedient slaves by injecting them with his DNA. Thus he can create entire armies of loyal and vicious soldiers.

Cruel and manipulative, Raze will crush subordinates who displease him, or who no longer serve his purposes. He thrives on conquest, but each victory only leaves him hungering for more.

He will not rest until he alone controls the Cosmos.
