Randell

Randell is a merchant the main characters meet after saving him from six goblins on the highway to Alessa. He provides basic information for them. He owns and runs a shop west of the main road in Alessa, apparently easy to spot. He primarily deals with food and weaponry, with most of his customers being adventurers.

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
A middle-aged man with short, ruffled hair in a headband, with a goatee and wrinkles on his face.

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, he feels guilty and apologetic. Randell is unaware he is sentient.

Alessa Gate Guard
The 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."
