Raziel

Created by: Jim Caswell and Jason Hobbs

Many centuries after the portal between Earth and the realm known as Der Nacht was opened, another realm of the hell plain entered into battle, sending a spirit named Raziel to conquer and enslave the human realm. Arriving in the midst of a Zulu tribe in Africa, the spirit inhabited one of the tribesmen and set out on his evil mission. In an attempt to save him, the tribe's medicine man summoned a spirit of his own to act as their defender. Urundi inhabited the willing medicine man and struck out to destroy his enemy.

Through the centuries, the two have fought a bitter battle, each striving to destroy the other. In most cases, when the host is destroyed, the spirit is banished to a newborn child, once again forced to endure a growth to power, giving his foe a period of rest. In all known cases, Urundi has been the victor, and mankind would dread what would happen during such a period if he were to loose. Eventually, however, the surviving host grows old and seeks out a willing successor to pass the spirit to, this way ensuring that there is no wait time for the power to emerge.

During World War II, Raziel worked alongside Kristoffer, Son of Moldred as advisors to Adolph Hitler while the Urundi host donned a super hero guise for the first time as the White Shadow and joined forces with the Allied Champions to destroy his enemy. Raziel surfaced once more in the mid 1970's, only to be foiled again by Urundi, this time as the Scarlet Samurai, working with the Legion of Champions.

Now, in the dawn of a new century, Raziel has returned and the battle begins once more. Raziel has begun to build a team of super criminals to aid him in his work and hold back the new Urundi host and his heroic teammates, the Hawk. These Minions have dedicated themselves to fulfilling the evil desires of their dark master and strive to snuff out the light.
