| - Zuuma was first hired to kill Lina by Kanzel, a mazoku serving Chaos Dragon Garv. Garv had learned not long before that his enemy, Hellmaster Fibrizo, was planning something, and that Lina Inverse was crucial to these plans. Garv decided to kill Lina as a precaution. At the time, Kanzel was working in Saillune City, as part of Alfred Saillune's assassination plot against the Crown Prince Philionel El Di Saillune. When Lina arrived in Saillune City and took a job as Philionel's bodyguard, Kanzel hired Zuuma to kill her. Zuuma's first attempt to kill Lina was thwarted by Gourry Gabriev. According to rumor, this was the first time anyone had survived one of Zuuma's attacks. Zuuma attacked Lina a second time while she and Gourry were rescuing Clawfell from Alfred's men. The resulting fight ended with Zuuma losing both his arms and being forced to retreat. Even though Kanzel was destroyed not long afterwords, Zuuma was still intent on finishing his job and killing Lina Inverse. To do that, he merged with a badly injured mazoku named Seigram. Seigram had been defeated by Lina and Gourry not long before, and like Zuuma, wanted revenge. The two became a half-demon. A few months after the events in Saillune, the merged Zuuma-Seigram attacked Lina in the woods. However, the arrival of Xelloss forced Zuuma to retreat, leaving a message: "Come to Vezendi or someone will die." Vezendi was the city where Zuuma's "secret identity," Radok Ranzaad, lived. Lina and her companions (Gourry, Amelia, Zelgadiss, and Xelloss), unaware of Zuuma's real identity, traveled to Vezendi and learned that Zuuma had also sent a message to Radok Ranzaad: "I shall kill you. If you do not wish to die, hire Lina Inverse." Thus, Radok hired Lina and co. (sans Zelgadiss) as bodyguards. Zuuma-Seigram attacked Lina repeatedly and unsuccessfully over the course of her employment as a bodyguard, enlisting the help of two lesser mazoku (Dugld and Gduza) and Raltaak. Zuuma-Seigram did not reveal that they had merged until the end, letting Lina and co. believe that the two were attacking them as separate entities at the same time, and that their attacks were unrelated. Eventually, Zuuma, as Radok, announced that he wanted to go traveling to do business, although Lina suspects he really wants to provoke a final confrontation with Zuuma. While on the road, they were attacked by bandits, and in the confusion, Radok, as Zuuma, pretended to take himself hostage. In the resulting fight, Zuuma revealed to Lina and co. that he had merged with Seigram. Then Abel, Radok's son, revealed that he had known all along that his father was Zuuma. The battle ended with Zuuma-Seigram-Radok being killed by Lina with the Ragna Blade.
