Razzid Wearat was the brutal male corsair captain of the Greenshroud, and a mix of species described as a Wearat, rumored by some to be a weasel-water rat cross. He wielded a barbed trident, and was said to be horrendously ugly, with yellow fangs, crimson eyes, and green pupils.
Razzid Wearat made a name for himself during the Winter of Slaughter, when he and his barbarian crew pillaged several coastal areas, leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake. However, he became overly confident, and, ignoring his seer Shekra's omens, sailed to the High North Coast to battle against Skor Axehound and his Rogue Crew Sea Otters. Skor and his band saw the ship coming and caught the marauders in an ambush, setting the Greenshroud ablaze and badly burning Razzid in the process.
The wreck of the Greenshroud returned to port at Razzid's home isle of Irgash, where the seriously wounded Razzid was taken away to a concealed stockade for medical treatment. While he was healing, a ferret captain, Braggio Ironhook, tried to take his position as leader; however, Razzid survived his injuries, though he was badly scarred. At the first opportunity, he beheaded Braggio and resumed captaincy of his ship. Shekra, concerned at what a second attack on the Rogue Crew might cause, convinced Razzid that Redwall Abbey would be a more rewarding prize, and his crew set sail for Mossflower Woods.
Later, Razzid captured Uggo Wiltud and Posybud, who were lost at sea, and tried to force them to reveal the location of Redwall. However, the two young hedgehogs outwitted the none-too-bright vermin crew and escaped. His luck turned when Shekra captured Drogbuk Wiltud, who, under the influence of the strong ale the vermin fed him, told them the exact directions to Redwall. During the voyage, morale on the ship ebbed as the crew encountered many hardships. Razzid also lost the respect of his crew after he murdered Dirgo for a simple remark and executed Wigsul for alleged spying. He had Twangee assist him as his own spy, and the young weasel kept an eye on other potentially mutinous crew members, especially Mowlag and Jiboree.
Upon arrival at Redwall Abbey, Razzid sailed his wheeled ship across the land, straight at it. However, the Wearat had by this time developed pyrophobia, and the sight of a bonfire on the Abbey ramparts dissuaded him from an immediate attack. He sailed off across the flatlands, hoping the Abbey residents would think he had departed. He then returned, one wildly stormy night, sailing as fast as he could for the gates in an effort to batter them down. He succeeded, but, unbeknownst to him, the Rogue Crew, with a score of Long Patrol hares and several Guosim shrews, were lying in wait. This army proceeded to soundly rout the Wearat's crew.
Razzid and his cook, Badtooth, escaped into the Abbey kitchen, but they were confronted by Posybud and Uggo, the latter hedgehog holding the sword of Martin the Warrior. Uggo slew Badtooth, but fumbled and dropped the sword in the process. Razzid began to torture the young one with his trident, intending to kill him. Posybud retrieved the sword and ran the Wearat through with it. He did not die immediately and pursued her with his trident. Redwall's Cellar Keeper, Jum Gurdy, stepped in to help, belting the Wearat in the head with a wooden stave, finishing Razzid off.
