These are the relationships of Ras, the leader of the Wolf Clan and former leader of the Claws of Imperium.
==Allies==
===His master===

When he was still a child, Ras was saved by an unknown entity who took him in. From this being, with whom Ras can communicate telepathically, he learned the life philosophy that strength is the most important thing. Once an adult, Ras dedicated his life to fulfilling his master's plans at any cost.
===Beatrix (formerly)===

Ras and Beatrix share a long history with one another.
Ras encounters Beatrix while attending a meeting with Levo. Later, Ras locates Beatrix in a narrow passage and forms an alliance with her to plot against Levo and secure the throne for Beatrix. Following Beatrix's ascension as Empress, Ras assumes leadership of the Claws of Imperium and is assigned the responsibility of hunting down dragons. Unfortunately, Ras's inability to prevent the ninja from setting free the captive dragons leads to a deterioration in his allegiance with Beatrix. Eventually, Beatrix apprehends Ras and removes him from his position.
Beatrix sought out Ras' assistance with the MergeQuake weapon, but Ras attempted to persuade her to release him by reminding her of his crucial role in her rise to Empress. Ras proposed that if they joined forces to eliminate the ninja, Beatrix would gain complete control over the realms. However, to Ras' anger, Beatrix declined his offer and departed.
===Rapton (formerly)===

Rapton was a leader of the Claws of Imperium and Ras' underling. However, Rapton's abilities and performance fell short of Ras' expectations, rendering him incompetent in Ras' eyes. Ras consistently belittled Rapton, forcing him to endure the constant insults. When Ras couldn't stop the ninja from freeing the dragons from the Kingdom of Imperium, Rapton assisted Beatrix in restraining Ras. This incident caused Ras to completely lose respect for Rapton. In "Gangs of the Sea," after Ras was imprisoned, Rapton taunted Ras for his shortcomings until Beatrix intervened.
===Dr. LaRow (formerly)===
Dr. LaRow is one of Ras' former allies from Imperium. Being a head scientist of the Advanced Systems Lab, she was responsible for draining dragon power which was why Ras needed her. 
When the Claws of Imperium arrested Sora, Ras brought her to LaRow so she could help her finish the Photac. While explaining everything to her, LaRow revealed that with Sora's help, Imperium could hunt down any dragon, even the Source Dragons. At these words, Ras glared at her, as she revealed something she wasn't supposed to.
After the ninja hid themselves in the Monastery of Imperium, angry Ras stood outside the door. Then Dr. LaRow ran to him and informed him that their prisoners had escaped. Enraged, Ras grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up before throwing her to the ground where he left her lying.
When Beatrix tasked LaRow with draining the Source Dragon's energy, LaRow countered that Lord Ras had another plan before his imprisonment, implying that she trusted his judgment.
===Dorama (formerly)===
After Dorama was defeated by Arin and Sora during the Crossroads Carnival and left in a cage to wait for the authorities, Ras came to his tent and informed him that the call was intercepted and the authorities would not be coming. He then offered him a job and together they left for Imperium.
===Jordana===

Prior to Ras being stripped of his position in the Claws of Imperium, the nature of his relationship with Jordana remained unknown. However, Ras praised Jordana due to her remarkable achievement of draining a Source Dragon, an act that was previously deemed impossible. Ras' master was greatly impressed by Jordana's accomplishments, leading Ras to recruit her for their joint mission of conquering the Merged Realms. Jordana willingly accepted Ras' offer.

After opening the Shadow Dojo, Ras entrusted Jordana with the task of learing Theroxian magic from ancient scrolls. He was satisfied with her work, although later she displeased him after being incompetent to retrieve the spell.
===Cinder===

Ras has found a valuable new ally in Cinder, who is dedicated to following all of his commands during their meetings. Not only did Cinder bring the mallet of shattering to Ras and aid in defeating the ninja in the Cloud Kingdom, but also practiced Shatterspin diligently to impress Ras. Cinder, along with Jordana, is determined to earn the title of Ras' favorite and hopes to eventually become his second-in-command.
===Nokt===
Being a member of the Forbidden Five, Nokt was the first of them to be freed from the Nether-Space by Ras during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, and ultimately the only one, as the ritual was foiled by the ninja. After his release, Ras informed him that he planned to free the other members as well and needed the ninja as victims. Nokt supported the plan and started fighting the ninja.
After teleporting the Shadow Dojo to safety, Nokt began verbally attacking Ras, telling him how dare he surrender without freeing the remaining four members. Angered, Ras told Nokt not to dare treat him like that and placed a device on the back of his head that electrocuted him whenever he disobeyed orders. In doing so, Ras earned the involuntary allegiance of Nokt.
==Enemies==
===Levo===

Levo was an Emperor of Imperium who was assassinated by Ras in order to take his throne for Beatrix.
Upon his first arrival in Imperium, Ras requested an audience with the Emperor, who accepted it. Ras came with an offer to capture a Source Dragon for them so that the power of Imperium would be unlimited. However, Levo laughed at Ras saying that the Source Dragons are just a bedtime story and Imperium is already perfect and doesn't need help from anyone. Ras told him that he was too shortsighted, which Levo took as an insult and sent Ras away. Before he left, however, Ras set his sights on one of Levo's daughters, Beatrix.

After leaving the palace, Ras met Beatrix and since she accepted his offer to capture the Source Dragon, Ras decided to help her become an empress. Therefore, together they planned the assassination of Levo. In order to make it appear accidental, they tampered with Levo's hover chariot, sending him crashing down and dying on impact.
===Zeatrix===

Zeatrix was an Imperium princess who had Elemental Power and was heir to the throne. 
Ras met her when he was in audience with Emperor Levo. Although they didn't directly interact, Zeatrix used her Elemental Power at her father's behest to scare Ras away from the room. Assessing that Zeatrix was only doing her father's will and couldn't help him in his plans, Ras chose her younger sister, Beatrix, as an ally, and after successfully assassinating the Emperor, Ras arrested Zeatrix and presumably imprisoned her.
===Ninja===
Ras harbored an immense level of animosity towards the ninja due to their actions of liberating the captive dragons and later succeeding them to close the portal to prevent liberation of most of the members of the Forbidden Five during the Ritual of the Blood Moon.
====Arin====

Lord Ras first encountered Arin at the Crossroads after he was forced to personally retrieve the escaped dragon Riyu that Rapton had failed to contain. Once Ras appeared on the bridge, Arin jumped on him to stop him, but Ras simply grabbed his leg and threw him away, causing Arin to fall unconscious.
Arin and Ras met again in the Advanced Systems Lab after Arin and Sora escaped and Ras came to stop them from kidnapping the imprisoned Riyu. He offered them the option to surrender otherwise he would crush the life out of them. As they refused, they started fighting each other. Arin managed to kick Ras' knee from behind and drop him to the ground, but that didn't stop him. After a short fight, Ras threw Arin against the wall where he remained lying. Sora then managed to defeat and imprison Ras while Arin was still lying on the ground.
A year later, during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, Jordana failed to deliver the imprisoned Bonzle to Ras, as Arin ambushed her and stole the Off-Road Buggy Car which she was driving. Upon hearing this, angry Ras left the Shadow Dojo and ran after Arin.
As soon as he caught up, Ras jumped in front of the buggy and disabled it by throwing it. He then defeated Riyu, and when Arin ran at him to stop him, Ras grabbed him by the neck after a brief fight and lifted him up. He then told him that he could have been something special, but the ninja were holding him back. Arin objected, claiming that the ninja made him better, but Ras told him that then how was it possible that he defeated him so easily like the first time they met. He explained to him that he was once weak himself, but after meeting his master he changed as they taught him the most important thing in the world, strength. He then jumped up and threw Arin to the ground, where he left him lying, saying that perhaps he would someday find a true master who would teach him the same.
====Riyu====
Riyu was one of the dragons captured and imprisoned by the Claws of Imperium, but managed to escape and befriend Arin and Sora. Lord Ras managed to capture him shortly after his escape and imprisoned him along with Arin and Sora, telling the little dragon that he was going to hunt down his entire family.
Although it is unknown what Ras' true plan was with Riyu, when the little dragon was recaptured by Beatrix and she wanted to drain it's energy, Ras strongly disagreed.
A year later, during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, Ras was chasing after Arin and Riyu, who had saved Bonzle. Ras easily caught up with them and threw the young dragon after attacking and left him lying on the ground.
====Kai====
===Bonzle===

After Ras learned that Bonzle was the one responsible for banishing the Forbidden Five, Ras immediately instructed Jordana to dispatch wolf warriors to apprehend her for the Ritual of the Blood Moon. Despite the repeated failures of both Jordana and the wolf warriors in capturing Bonzle, Ras managed to successfully apprehend her himself. He then proceeded to use her for the Ritual of the Blood Moon in order to release the Forbidden Five from the Nether-Space. Unfortunately for Ras, his plan only partially succeeded, as only Nokt was freed during the ritual. This was due to the fact that Bonzle had already managed to close the portal, preventing the rest of the Forbidden Five from being released.
