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, but was actually a form of exile and punishment. 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 once again. 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:
Giovanni in General
Enemies
Probably quite a few! You don't get caught up in shenanigans like his without making a couple.
