Ra's mentioned that thousands of men would mourn his death if he would die.
The current, in continuity, origin story is told in the graphic novel Batman: Birth of the Demon (1992) by Dennis O'Neil and Norm Breyfogle. Ra's convinces the head of his tribe, his uncle, to follow Ra's in his quest for revenge by promising the downfall of the king of the city. He used isolation and brainwashing techniques to make Oliver forget about his past and he began to accept his new identity and name. Ra's saw that Oliver used the sword he had been impaled with. Ra's al Ghul, sometimes written Rā's al Ghūl, is a DC Comics supervillain and an enemy of Batman. Ra's would then torture Malcolm to the point he was barely conscious but left his cell unguarded to lure Oliver, who he knew would come.

By understanding the germ theory of disease hundreds of years before anyone else, Ra's is able to infect the prince with a deadly virus by sending him contaminated fabrics.

After his son's death, Ra's wishes he had treated Dusan far better as he was the only child who remained loyal to him.
Though some of the Leaguers resent Batman's plans, they agree that the plans were created for the right reasons.
After Nyssa told Ra's that Sara was (apparently) killed by Malcolm, he paid no heed and only focused on punishing him for his role in Despite Ra's' generally calm, composed, dark and stoic demeanor, he was capable of being surprised; as when he first looked upon Oliver's youthfulness, the only thing he could say at the moment was "you're just a boy", he was also prone to fits of rage and fury if someone were to betray him or display defiance towards him.
Ra's attempts to take over Damian, but Batman breaks free just as Detective Comics #840 details the aftermath of The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul storyline. To his disappointment, Nyssa refuses to give herself or her family to Ra's; he retaliates by disowning her. He appeared in her apartment and asked her if she knew who he was.
