Recruitment
Complete the quest Finding a Purpose, offered by Chaplain Phyratyss in the Gate of Anguish. Your character must have completed the Nightfall campaign.

Profession change
To change Razah's primary profession, make sure that it is not in the party and then revisit it in the Heart of Abaddon (just outside the portal), the Isle of the Nameless, or the Command Post.
 * You can change Razah's profession without breaking apart your current party by mapping to the Great Temple of Balthazar and entering the Isle of the Nameless. Returning to your previous location is easy via Embark Beach.
 * When changing its prof, any profession-specific armor upgrades will be deleted from its armor. Weapons, off-hands and common armor upgrades will not be deleted. Razah will warn you it must cast aside the equipment of its old path.

Razah
 * "I have seen many wonderous sights in my travels with you, yet there are countless paths left to walk. What other knowledge might I gain by looking at things from a new perspective? Maybe it is time for me to answer a different calling. What say you."

Quotes

 * "Destruction seems a natural part of the human condition."
 * "Human rituals seem to involve a great deal of talking, and dancing, and making speeches. This much I have seen... but I do not understand."
 * "I have learned this much: in all of human existence, there are many kinds of life... and many kinds of death."
 * "If I learn to cry, it will not be for me. It will not be for Istan. It will be for the gods themselves, who cannot be a part of the very thing they created."
 * "It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."
 * "Tell me, are all humans as obsessed with yelling and bludgeoning things, or are you an unusual representative of your species?"

Heart of Abaddon: If Razah is in the party (and no member of the party has the quest Finding a Purpose active).
 * "I spent days staring into the eyes on these walls, wondering why they were watching at me, what they were thinking, who they belonged to. Are there souls behind those waxy stares, or are they simply the facade of the tormented and soulless dead? I do not have the answer."
 * "These plants are fascinating, are they not? They grow throughout the realm wherever there is enough blood for them to feed. Do not touch them; one prick will lead to a painful and certain death."
 * "Although I was bound here, I have no resentment towards this place. The soft, pulsing light that permeates the land reminds me of the Mists."

Battle quotes

 * "Ah! I begin to understand pain! Thank you!"
 * "I barely touched him... and he broke. You humans are so fragile!"
 * "I cannot understand why you shout such things."
 * "Now you will know the emptiness of death."
 * "Retreat or die."
 * "Such unlimited potential! Such limited imagination."
 * "These people are my friends. I will not allow you to hurt them."
 * "This conflict does not educate me. Cease and desist."
 * "We rise and fall together."
 * "What a waste, to understand life, and yet throw it away for such a trite cause."
 * "What is this 'pain' you feel?"
 * "May the Mists be with you."
 * "You are not ready for immortality."

Trivia

 * Before the 28th April 2011 update, Razah was only available as a Ritualist and a duplicate Razah would show up as "Ritualist Entity".
 * Razah is the only Nightfall hero with visible headgear (Xandra and Vekk, Eye of the North heroes, also have visible headgear).
 * Originally, there was no way to acquire Razah's upgraded armor due to a bug that was ultimately fixed in the 6th September 2007 update.
