Randell

Randell is a merchant the Fran and Master/Teacher meet after saving him from six goblins on the highway to Alessa. He provides the world's basic information for them.

Personality
Randell acts amicable, amiable, and affable, in line with how a merchant generally interacts. He is also shrewd, but does not go to extremes at all, and is willing to take risks for his job.

Appearance
He is middle-aged man with short, ruffled hair banded in a headband, with a goatee and wrinkles on his face. In the manga, his eyes are always closed, making him look a bit shifty.

Store
He owns and runs a shop west of the main road in Alessa, apparently easy to spot. The store is near the entrance of the street. He primarily deals with food and weaponry, with most of his customers being adventurers. When he runs the shop, he stands outside his shop (but is shown inside his shop in the manga).

Abilities
Randell has combat power which can defeat approximately one or two goblins when by himself.

Fran
Randell bears a debt of gratitude to her, as she saved his life when being attacked by goblins on the highway. He is welcoming and generally hospitable to her, as well as unprying and respective, never asking about her circumstances.

Master/Teacher
As the reason the goblins attacked Randell on the road, Master/Teacher feels guilty and apologetic. Randell is unaware he is sentient.

Delt
The Alessa gate guard and Randell appear to be acquaintances, as the guard expresses concern for the safety of Randell. His opinion of Randell is "a good, strong man."
