Presuming that you meant Ramon Salazar, some of this will cover canonical topics, as well as analyses of mine. Granted The Salazar lineage is vast & lasts over 500 years, I urge further asks if people would care to read about Diego or anyone else in relation to this specific bloodline. The lore is extensive & contains distressing elements, as such it is placed under a read-more:
In regards to Ramon specifically, they first met when he was born in the year of 1984. The 8th's "strange disease" ( In The Japanese Localization ) was inherited genetically & the very same illness that claimed his grandfather Alejandro, who fell to an untimely death. Los Illuminados' return to the mainland was ultimately the result of Catalina wishing to preserve the life of her only child from an otherwise incurable ailment.
Osmund, like Ramon, was despised by the population for being born different --- this being amplified tenfold with The 7th's Queen betrayal & Ramon becoming a LITERAL mutant, on top of his disabilities. It should be no surprise that the community of Valdelobos ( besides Los Illuminados worship ) had an innate disgust with the disabled, mental or physical, as anything outside of the norm would potentially be perceived as deformed or the defilement of demons. "The Devil" being welcomed out of exile to cure Ramon was the final nail in the coffin, which more or less led the boy straight into his arms not even a decade later, willingly.
Anyone familiar with the remake should know that Ramon was horrifically abused by his own biological father, to the point where he wished to kill his own son for being born sickly & an aforementioned "demon-child". Osmund using this as leverage to gain his loyalty I don't believe was really necessary, as Los Illuminados was already an established enemy of The Salazar's --- Ramon was entirely aware of their existence & the genocide his ancestry committed, then continued. Osmund absolutely manipulated him to an extent, but granted Ramon desired the death of his own biological father regardless, it was minimal. If Lord Saddler was not eventually responsible for Diego's death, Ramon absolutely would have been, without a doubt.
I believe Osmund hearing Catalina's plight was his only genuine show of "humanity", despite his blessing utterly robbing a soul of that. From his point of view, blessing another with Las Plagas IS a show of kindness, granted his role as a faith healer & missionary. Although he was the key to releasing the seal initially, he was not set aside after all was said & done. Lord Saddler actually held Ramon in a respectable regard, going as far for The Castellan to believe that The Lord was his "true father" all along.
Replaceable as Ramon is as a subordinate, I truly think Osmund harbors some "love" for the boy, in his own way, considering he was raised solely by him since he was about 8 years old --- an act that was NEVER necessary. The director & Ramon's own voice actor confirmed that in the script, it was suggested that he was essentially adopted & treated as his own. Osmund has known Ramon more than he has known his own biological parents --- & with how highly he speaks of him, I can almost guarantee he is spared from any harsh treatment. If anything, I'm willing pin that Ramon is spoiled lavishly by Lord Saddler. I surmise granted they share trauma by the very same institution, they understand each other better more than anyone & have a much deeper bond than what Lord Saddler might have with Chief Mendez or Major Krauser.
Their relationship as father / son, however, also breaches into a very strange, upsetting but understandable dynamic, with Ramon wishing to play "catch up" with Lord Saddler, as his childhood was essentially devoid of any affection. Ramon admits so himself in his personal diary ( Japanese Localization ) that he loves to sit on Osmund's lap, his head being patted / caressed like he is a little boy --- despite being an adult. Granted Osmund was born in the midst of a violent civil war between two religious institutions, I doubt he had the time or interest to sire an heir himself --- Thus, Ramon receives very preferential treatment & leniency as his servant.
๐๐๐๐: Osmund's fatherly relationship with Ramon is extremely weird, but bound tightly by generational trauma, prejudice & abuse inflicted upon by the same religious institution.

Rayman/Ramon x anxious fem reader
Thank you @cutegamertv for the request !
I couldnโt seem to find it in my inbox , so I had to use the screenshot I took โฆ sorry for the inconvenience , I donโt know why this happens :,I
Anyway Iโve actually been feeling a bit down these days , so writing this type of comfort scenario really helped a lot :,)๐
Hope it turned out okay !ย
Details : use of female reader ;
established relationships ;ย
no warnings neededย
Raymanย ๐งก
Letโs make one thing clear : Rayman would do anything to make sure that youโre comfortable and happy at all times , and if you ever get the feeling that youโre bothering him by being anxious ?ย
Well , he definitely wonโt just stand by and watch his beloved even think about such things .ย
< y/n , my love , look at me โฆย
You are , without exaggeration , the most important person in my life : you could never , ever be a burden to me . >ย
< But โฆ I know youโre busy , you have so many things to keep track of and Iโm โฆ Iโm making you waste time over something so โฆ dumb โฆ >ย
< Darling , you are much more important to me than anything else .
Youโre what helps me keep going every day โฆ the least I could do is be there for you when you need it . >ย
If youโre one who gets especially anxious in public spaces , you can bet that Rayman will be coming with you , holding your hand if it helps you feel more at ease or simply staying by your side until you both get back home .ย
And if someone says something mean spirited about you , they will quickly be confronted by your very protective boyfriend .ย
< How about you leave my y/n alone , pal ?ย
Back off ! >ย
If you ever were to tell him that you donโt feel worthy of being with someone like him , Rayman is going to be shocked โฆ
He is the lucky one to have someone as amazing as you !ย
Still , you can count on him to have just the right words to comfort you .ย
< You are more than enough for me , I wouldnโt want to be with anyone else .
If only I could show you just how beautiful in every way you are to me โฆ >ย
Then Rayman always makes sure to shower you with sweet , loving kisses all over your face , as a way to showcase just how much you mean to him :ย
you really are his everythingย โค๏ธ
Ramonย ๐ค
While he definitely became way more bitter after the events he had to go through , Ramon is still definitely very soft with you , and much like he did in the past he is always looking out for you , making sure youโre okay โฆย
Also he immediately shuts down any worries you might have about bothering him .
< y/n . Thereโs literally no way you could ever bother me .ย
Donโt even think about that , not for a second . >
< But - >ย
< No โbutsโ . >
Given your fragility , Ramon is going to become even more protective than before over you now , and he wonโt hesitate to straight up murder anyone who makes you even a little uncomfortable :ย
he wonโt accept any compromises , not when your safety is on the line .ย
< Everything alright , honey ? I saw that guy approaching you and โฆ >ย
< Iโm okay Ram , thank you โฆ he was just a bit insistent about getting a drink together , but Iโm not hurt or anything , it just โฆ scared me a little . >ย
< Tch โฆ well , you can be sure that he wonโt think about trying shit like that ever again . >ย
< Heh , well you kinda put a bullet through his skull , sweetie โฆย
That makes it pretty hard for anyone to think . >ย
If you bring up the fact that you donโt feel like youโre good enough for him , Ramon will barely even know what to say โฆย
He feels awful for everything that he allowed Eden to do back when he worked for them , he feels like he doesnโt deserve anything good at all , and certainly not someone like you . The fact that you think that makes him both confused and determined to prove you wrong .ย
< y/n , do you have any idea where I would be if I didnโt have you ?ย
You literally saved my life : you stuck with me when you knew what I did , youโve shown me kindness even though I didnโt deserve it โฆย
If anything , Iโm the one who isnโt good enough for you . >ย
< Ram donโt say that โฆ youโre amazing and I love you so much โฆ >ย
< I love you too sweetheart , I really do โฆ so please , donโt be so hard on yourself , okay ?ย
Youโre my reason to be alive , I couldnโt go on without you โฆ >ย
After all that , you can be sure that Ramon will be cuddling you for hours , demonstrating his seriousness on the matter :
there is no way he will just stand there and watch his beautiful y/n feel like she doesnโt deserve him .ย
