Line 37: Line 43:
Raphael has dark hair and faintly red skin, which deepens into a brighter red when he sheds his human disguise. In his true form, he has the tell-tale characteristics of a cambion; significantly with thick and decorative curved horns, and a set of pointed wings with visible membranes, similar to that of a bat.

While fiendishly ascended, Raphael's form forgoes its remaining humanoid qualities. Wreathed in flame and two sloping horns, his head is an amalgamation of three animalistic faces with skin stretched tight over bone. His faces total three glowing, yellow eyes, each with tusked gums and open nasal cavities, exposing bloody muscle. His body visibly glows with hellfire, laced with dark, bone-like structures that lead down his arms, torso and digitigrade legs.

The nature of Raphael's contracts are such that the contractee will inevitably owe him a debt. Those individuals would eventually become [[Eternal Debtor]]s.

One such contractee was the architect of [[Moonrise Towers]]. They bargained to end [[Ketheric Thorm]]'s [[Dark Justiciar]] army in exchange for their soul. {{ref|''[[Mason's Log]]'' by [[Infernal Mason]]}} Raphael contracted [[Yurgir]] and his legion of [[Merregon]]s, who destroyed all but one of the Justiciars, who himself made a deal with Raphael to guarantee his survival in the form of many rats. As Yurgir did not technically complete his end of the bargain, he remained trapped in the [[Gauntlet of Shar]] and under contract of Raphael.

Raphael finally saw his chance to obtain the crown when a group of adventurers who had been implanted with tadpoles under the Dead Three's plan, managed to retain their autonomy. He met with them soon after their escape from a Nautiloid ship, and began to set in motion an exchange for the crown through an infernal contract.

If the party instead steals the hammer from his house, Raphael will confront them as they are trying to leave, and must be killed.

After Raphael is defeated, the party can interact with a Crystal Ball in the [[Devil's Fee]] to see that he is dangling bloody and beaten above the giant mouth of Mephistopheles, about to be devoured.

== Notes ==
* Raphael's appearance has mostly remained the same throughout the lifespan of the game with the exception of his hair color. During the Early Access and the Release of the game, Raphael had dark, brown hair. In Patch 3, this was changed to black. Sometime in a later update, however, his hair was reverted back to its previous state.
