Once abandoned, Razor was adopted by the Wolf of the North, Andrius, and his wolf pack in Wolvendom. Despite originally being a feral human being, his encounter with Varka, the current Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, and the Knight of Boreas, Razor in Genshin Impact, slowly regains his humanity by interacting and befriending many characters in the game.
