Goal: Make himself important/distinguished enough that he can't be ignored any more. Climb the ranks and root out corruption.
Reputation: Already covered. "That guy who got sent here because he disobeyed orders" is probably all the locals know about the ordeal. Depending on how long he's been here, that might clash with their impression of him; he's friendly and often goes out of his way to help others, contrary to the slacker/shirker persona some might expect.
Friend: Ellis Lavarre joined the army at the same time as him, but on the officer track. It was his word that let Randall keep his commission even after his disgrace. Ellis is a noble scion, but a very down to earth sort. Focused on duty and responsibility above most else, but with a mischievous side left over from his decadent upbringing. Very good at beer pong.
Home: Randall grew up in Riverford, a bit up the road from Almas.
Signature Item: Randall wears a wide brimmed hat (Like Sherrif Caeller's here), and has fitted the shaft of his ranseur with a vivid green twine where the usual, plainer grips would be.
Problem: Other than he's stuck far from home, he suspects some of the men stationed in Olfden have surreptitious orders to off him if he gets "uppity" or tries to set the record straight.
Secret: Randall really likes Chelaxian opera, as Ellis introduced it to him a while back. An acceptable, if frowned on, like for the nobility, but likely to be seen as vague signs of traitorousness in an already disgraced commoner.
Reason to be Brave: Randall has a responsibility to uphold: to protect his country. To him, that includes first and foremost the people in it. They need role models to look up to, and an unwavering rock to lean on when things get tough. He aspires to be such.
