History[]
Original Timeline
Raquim met Mine-a when she pointed a sword at him while he was standing alone in the forest. Raquim manages to push her to the ground and pull down her mask. He sees the most beautiful Encantada he had ever seen. Mine-a manages to push him away and escapes. Raquim felt regretful to not know her name but later finds out it is Quesha after Mine-a was pressured to reveal her name. However, he discovers it was a lie when Hagorn brought him to Hera Andal to meet his fianceé, Mine-a. Raquim was one of the three who went to Hera Sensa to kill Animus. This started a war between Etheria and the other kingdoms. Raquim participated in the war but he wasn't wearing the Kalasag. He brought Mine-a out of the battlefield to save her. Unknown to him, Hagorn followed them and witnessed him kissing Mine-a. After the war ended, Hagorn ended their friendship saying he doesn't want a friend who is a traitor. Raquim was saddened by the end of their friendship. Cassiopea noticed his sadness and tells him a forecast that he won't face Hagorn's wrath just yet but in the future he will. He will not die at the hands of the enemy but in the hands of a friend.
Sang'gres Intervention
Raquim first met Mine-a at the Batis ng Katotohanan instead. After several encounters, they fell in love not knowing Mine-a was engaged with Hagorn. Raquim and Hagorn killed Etherian soldiers which came to the knowledge of Andora. He was prevented from watching the match between the Sang'gre and Etherian soldiers. Raquim came to know Quesha is Mine-a after Hagorn and Gurna came to fetch her. Raquim became a fugitive after Avria finds out he has been helping the diwatas. Later, Avria imprisoned Mine-a the Sang'gres and Raquim rescued her and brought to Sapiro. A conflict arose when Hathoria threatened to not join the alliance against Etheria unless Raquim hands over Mine-a to Hagorn. Amihan advised Raquim to let Hagorn have Mine-a first because in the future Mine-a will come back and he and Mine-a will have a child. However, Arkrey interfered by telling Mine-a of Raquim's plans to hand her over to Hagorn. Mine-a told Raquim to fight for her. Driven by conscience and love, Raquim escapes with Mine-a. He left Mine-a underneath the tree with beautiful leaves to look for food. He went to the camp of Amarro. Amarro gave him the Kalasag he made and Nakba gave him the sword he forged. Raquim started wearing the Kalasag since then. Cassiopea arrives and tells Raquim to return to Mine-a. It's also during this time that Cassiopea tells him who will kill him in the future. Raquim finds Mine-a with someone who looks like him. They both contest that they're the real Raquim but Raquim shows Mine-a the food he promised before he left. Hagorn eventually returned to his original appearance and the two engaged in a fistfight only to be stopped by Mine-a who stabbed herself. He and Hagorn ended their friendship. Raquim cursed the tree being the witness of the tragedy to never blossom beautiful leaves and become a portal where one could forget everything that happened that day. He joined the war against Etheria but Alena and Danaya suggested he should return to Sapiro instead. His return was timely since Asval was about to kill the queen and Armeo. Raquim was also the one who killed the spy of Etheria, Arkrey.

He could have won but with Agane's treacherous tactic, she took Amihan as hostage and when Raquim set his eyes on Amihan, Hagorn plunged his sword in Raquim's gut and he was killed.
Raquim came back to Encantadia from Devas to teach Prince Ybrahim his skills in swordsmanship and swordfighting, as well as giving Ybrahim the armor that would protect him from the power of the Kabilan, The Kalasag. Raquim taught Ybrahim the powers and abilities of the Sapiryans.
