Raza

Raza is a terrorist, working with Obadiah Stane in the 2008 Iron Man movie. He is a high-ranking member of the Ten Rings terrorist group, and his dream is to rule all of Asia, possibly the world.

Iron Man
Raza is a leader of the terrorist association known as the Ten Rings. After a secret agreement with Obadiah Stane, Raza captures Tony Stark, who is in Afghanistan displaying the Jericho Missile. He wants Stark to build him one of the missiles for his own use. He was originally supposed to kill Stark, but they come to consider him more useful alive. One of the terrorists calls Stark "The most famous mass murderer in the history of America," and then goes on to say that he is "honored".

Despite Raza's guards are watching the prisoners day and night, Stark manages to build an armor to save himself and his fellow prisoner Yinsen. Stark manages to escape, while Yinsen is killed.

After his failure, Stane gets enraged towards Raza, and threats to stop the weapons' supply he's been providing them for years. Raza organizes a meeting with Stane, during which the latter has his men dispose of Raza's ones, and personally poisons the terrorist leader. Stane leaves him in his tent, probably dying, and steals the Mark I armor.

Character traits
Raza has limited screen time, but it is quite obvious that he is a self promoter, and is a very distrusting man, as shown by his almost killing Yinsen out of suspicion.
