— Randal.

Randal (Japanese: ランド Lando) is a character introduced in the Fire Emblem Cipher trading card game. Randal is the fourth original character introduced into the Cipher trading card game. His first cards are of Elibean allegiance. His first appearance as a character in a mainline Fire Emblem series title is as a playable downloadable character in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

Like the other characters original to Cipher, Randal participates in the Cipher column of the Japanese official site. Like Yuzu he has not been around since the start, his first appearance on the official site is in the 19th column. His first appearance in the Cipher TCG as a card is in series five, Beyond the Rivalry.

Randal is currently featured on eight cards in Fire Emblem Cipher.

Three of these cards' quotes are still in raw, untranslated Japanese; these need translation.

Personality and character

Randal has a somewhat laid back personality, wandering from town to town and battle to battle. At first glance, he seems uncaring and sloppy in appearance, yet he possesses much experience and tact–and is actually a reliable man with exceptional skills. Although he hates trouble and danger, he usually ends up in the middle of it.

Supports

Main article: Randal/Supports

Ending

After the war, Randal departed Valentia for a new land. History makes no further mention of him, but some say he made a name for himself as a sellsword, gracing countless battlefields and wielding a variety of weapons—always with one in each hand.

Trivia

  • Randal is the fourth Fire Emblem series character to originate from a TCG, after Yuzu.
    • He is the first male character original to Cipher, Emma, Shade and Yuzu are all female.
    • He is also the only one of the Cipher mascots who is able to class change in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia without requiring an overclass DLC; in Randal's case, he can promote to a Gold Knight.
