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 featured on twelve cards in Fire Emblem Cipher.

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

In Shadows of Valentia, promotion gains give the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class's base stats. If the character's stats are higher than their promoted class's base stats, they will not receive any bonus; however, if all stats are higher, then they will receive +1 to HP.

Personality

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.

Endings

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

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.

Cipher

Randal made a truly once-in-a-lifetime wager, only to go into hiding thereafter. Some rumors attest that he won, and that with that windfall he secured for himself a carefree life of quiet leisure in some southern land - others, that he met with a catastrophic loss, and was hence forced into labor in someplace.

Quotes

The Final Battle quote

It's no concern of mine who decides to conquer the world. But something tells me
you'd take all the fun out of it-and I can't have that.

— Randal, in the final battle of Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

Critical quotes

Let's do this upright!
— Randal
Oh, look! It's naptime!
— Randal
Ready for my angry face?!
— Randal
This will probably hurt.
— Randal

Death quotes

Ugh... Ah, well... It was fun...while it lasted...
— Randal, in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (Classic Mode).
Nnngh! Well, that's no good... Sorry, but I'm no use to you now, I'm falling back.
— Randal, in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (Casual Mode).

Battle quotes

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.
