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).

Not much is known about who Randall Scott was before he became Kindred. Even his name is a fabrication, which he will openly acknowledge. The best that most can figure is that he was a kid in the early to mid 20th Century.
  
Having arrived back in Baltimore after spending five years in Ohio, Randall seems...different.  Instead of a gregarious and friendly man, quick with a joke and a grin, he's much more grim.  There's a tightness about him.  He's much more fatalistic, and his laugh is strained. His humor turns more and more to the macabre and the absurd. Rumor has it that he's on the outs with his Clan, but he refuses to speak about it or confirm it...he simply says that he's on "Sabbatical". He very rarely makes appearances at Court, preferring his own company (and presumably the company of the Restless Dead) to the company of other Kindred and the power games they inevitably bring along with them.
+
He first appeared on the stage in Baltimore back in 2007, where he became Sheriff after a time. He was an open, gregarious, friendly man who was quick with a joke and a wink. Known for his substance abuse and expertise on Spiritual matters, he slowly climbed the ranks of both Camarilla and Clan.
 +
 
 +
In 2009 he moved to Ohio and settled in the Domain of Dayton. The events around the collapse of the Domain are confused, but it's clear that he was on the ground during the chaos and involved in some way.
 +
 
 +
In 2015 he abruptly moved to Baltimore. Rumor is that something happened at a Clan event that year and his travel to Baltimore was not a willing decision. Active only for a short time, he allegedly stumbled through several crises before vanishing.

 +
The Randall Scott that resurfaced in 2017 is a changed man. Gone is the old jokester. He's now gaunt, grim, and taciturn. He doesn't discuss where he was except to say that he was "Stoned in a ditch" but is now on the wagon and sober for the first time in years. He finds absurdity and ironies everywhere, and while he does laugh there is no joy in it.

Character Information

Known History

Not much is known about who Randall Scott was before he became Kindred. Even his name is a fabrication, which he will openly acknowledge. The best that most can figure is that he was a kid in the early to mid 20th Century.

He first appeared on the stage in Baltimore back in 2007, where he became Sheriff after a time. He was an open, gregarious, friendly man who was quick with a joke and a wink. Known for his substance abuse and expertise on Spiritual matters, he slowly climbed the ranks of both Camarilla and Clan.

In 2009 he moved to Ohio and settled in the Domain of Dayton. The events around the collapse of the Domain are confused, but it's clear that he was on the ground during the chaos and involved in some way.

In 2015 he abruptly moved to Baltimore. Rumor is that something happened at a Clan event that year and his travel to Baltimore was not a willing decision. Active only for a short time, he allegedly stumbled through several crises before vanishing.

The Randall Scott that resurfaced in 2017 is a changed man. Gone is the old jokester. He's now gaunt, grim, and taciturn. He doesn't discuss where he was except to say that he was "Stoned in a ditch" but is now on the wagon and sober for the first time in years. He finds absurdity and ironies everywhere, and while he does laugh there is no joy in it.

Returning to Baltimore as Luther Rommell was stepping down, he joined the Court as Sheriff. Who knows if it'll stick.

Allies

Most of his Allies seem to be dead or have abandoned him, and any influence he had inside Clan Tremere seems to have evaporated. The few that still seem to be around include:

Marli Giovanni Giovanni in General Hugo Valentine Eli Manfred Douma Charoum Phillip Walkin Lydia Laurent

Enemies

Probably quite a few! You don't get caught up in shenanigans like his without making a couple.

Character Inspirations

Kerouac, Ginsburg, Corso, Charles Bukowski, Tom Waits, Camus.

Anti-Nihilist?

Stepford Smiler?

So-Called Coward?

Soundtrack

...Pretty much anything by Tom Waits, really.
