User blog:SW10048/Pure Evil Proposal: Abdul-Aziz al Razim

What's The Work?
Scorpia Rising, the ninth book in the Alex Rider series. I recently managed to successfully propose a villain from the series, Sir Damian Cray, and I'm about to propose another: Abdul-Aziz al Razim, the main villain of Scorpia Rising.

Who Is The Villain and What has He Done?
Abdul-Aziz al Razim is a former member of 's secret police, an ex member and a board member on the criminal organisation Scorpia. As you'd expect, he is a horrible person, with a long list of times he crossed the MEH. And here it is:
 * When he was a child, he killed his dog just to see if it would make him sad. It didn't.
 * He exposed his entire family to Saddam's secret police as dissidents because he liked Saddam's twisted way of thinking, resulting in the execution of his parents and the implied rape of his sister. His lack of remorse after doing this shocked even the commissioner of the secret police.
 * As a member of the secret police, he stabbed a fellow officer nine times for saying he looked like Harry Potter.
 * After Saddam was overthrown, he joined Al Qaeda simply so he could be responsible for people being killed in terrorist attacks, only leaving after he killed his superior for suggesting he become a suicide bomber.
 * His first act in the book is to torture a secret agent to death due to an obsession he has with creating a universal measurement of pain named after him.
 * His main plan is to have Julius Grief assassinate the US secretary of state and frame MI6 agent Alex Rider, who Grief is a clone of, so he can blackmail the British government into giving into Scorpia' s admittedly relatively tame demands.
 * He seemingly kills Alex's friend Jack Starbright in an explosion and forces Alex to watch, with the only reason he didn't kill her being that fellow board members Eduardo & Giovanni Grimaldi asked him not to.
 * After this, he plans to torture Alex to death over a period of days in order to help with his obsession with creating a measurement of pain.

Redeeming Qualities
None. He's a sadistic torturer and former terrorist who killed his dog just to see if he would feel bad, which was just out of curiosity and nothing to do with wanting to feel bad about things.

Freudian Excuse
The only bad thing that happened in his past is the death of his family, which was his fault and which he didn't feel a shred of remorse for.

Heinous Standard
There are already two PE villains from Alex Rider, Winston Yu and the aforementioned Damian Cray, but the only other villain as sadistic as Razim is Conrad from Skeleton Key, who doesn't have Razim's advantage of a long history of evil deeds.
