He is also adorned with various trinkets of either a magical or religious nature. He usually smells vaguely of marijuana or alcohol. There is almost always a grin on his face, and his laughter comes easily. He will most likely be found in a circle of Kindred, loudly expounding on either some random subject or his own worthlessness.

| − | ==Known History==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There's not much "Known" about Randall Scott. Even his name is a fraud, which he will cheerfully admit. He's (depending on when you ask) from Arkansas, California, Oklahoma, or any number of other places. Sometimes he lived through the Great Depression, sometimes he missed it. He may have served in the Pacific during the Second World War, maybe he fought in Korea, perhaps he's criminal and the only serving he did was on the chain gang. The only consistent portions of his story are that he grew up poor, went "On the Road" while wandering the United States, has always been able to talk to ghosts, and considers himself to be a voodoo sorcerer (a Bokor).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He "Earned His Bones" in Baltimore, where he served as Sheriff for a time back in 2007. A position he describes as "My investigation abilities backed up by four Gangrel who liked to hit people". For an unknown reason (Most likely due to some sort of arcane situation within the Tremere) he ended up moving to Dayton along with [[William Shultz]] and [[Elias Beecher]] in 2009. The other two have since moved on, but Randall stayed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Most nights he seems to spend his time traveling around the Ohio Domains, avoiding whatever supernatural or political events that may be occurring and instead chatting people up on Elysium. He seems to be on a crusade against what he refers to as “The lazy science of the stereotype”, and tries to point out that regardless of Clan…most Kindred are “just folk trying to get by”. More recently, however, there appears to be some strain on the man. Whereas before he was always quite affable and agreeable, there appears to be a bit more of a darker streak to him and he often appears to be more worn than usual. There is a definite tightness around the eyes...He does his best to not let it shine through, but is not exactly successful.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He is also often seen in the company of various Giovanni, and the rumor mill has him romantically involved with one.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Tremere only: He is Regent of the Sixth Circle under Lord Malcolm Calloway.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | *"I'm a botanist by hobby. A very certain type of botanist. A niche, really. I, uh, grow pot."

| |
| − | *"Good to meet ya! Here, have a beer!"
| |
| − | *"Magic is dumb."
| |
| − | *"Hallucinogens alter your consciousness. They pierce the veil and allow you to commune with the spirit world. That's why they're used in so many shamanic rites. Also, they let you see dragons. And that's pretty cool."
| |
| − | *“Oh, yeah, when I went to the Clan Fair in my High School gymnasium the Tremere booth really called out to me. It had a great pamphlet, and I really liked the idea of having a career as a ‘Untrustworthy Blood Mage that will sell his mother for a nickel and get all Jaffar on some Prince’. So that’s why I totally chose to be a Tremere! What…you didn’t go to a job fair and choose to be what Clan you are?”
| |
| − | *"The keys to my career have been patience, good nature and basic competence. You'd be surprised how often those traits are in short supply..."
| |
| − | *"You hate all Tremere, huh? You hate a large group of individuals based on a few common traits? So...you're a racist. That's cool, I'm not here to judge. At least with an honest racist I know where I stand."
