Raze, although his given name was Koro, was born in Sudan in East Africa during the 14th century. Raze was the son of a powerful Sultan but his families lands were taken during a period of wars that spread into Africa. Upon traveling into Ordoghaz his caravan was escorted by Death Dealers including Viktors daughter Sonja. Once the caravan traveled deeper in the forest it was attacked by first generation Lycans. Raze and Lucian were both imprisoned together shortly after the attack and joined forces against the Death Dealers. After his transformation, he then escaped from Ordoghaz with Lucian in order to form a strong army of Lycans. The Lycans eventually defeated Viktor's Death Dealers but began a war between both species that would pursue for the next six centuries.
