Razoul Sand, also known as Razoul the Merciless, is the son of Ismail and Jamila. He served Sultana Adela al-Saif as the captain of the Black Guard until the Battle of Vanna when Khalid al-Saif took the throne. Razoul accompanied Khalid and the Grand Alliance after the Northern Horde drove the Sarquil away from the Tronin Desert. While in Alent, he began a relationship with Rain, a travelling warrior who has taught him to see the world in less harsh terms, and participated in the adventures of the Dresdens. After the events of the Threshold Riot which severed the Sarquil's ties with the Grand Alliance, Razoul stepped down from his position as captain because of his failure to prevent the conflict between the Sarquil, Threshold demons and Alent from escalating.
