Backstage Born in the early 1900s, under a far different name, Randall was born into a Vaudeville family. His parents were performers on the East Coast circuit, never really settling down in one location. He learned at an early age how to work a crowd, shine on people, and generally acting the grifter. As his showmanship and talents refined over time, he became more and more enamored with the idea of becoming a stage personality. Before his dreams could become reality, he was Embraced. His life changed, of course - the new Kindred scrambling to get his feet under him as an Unaligned Ravnos. The world stands still for no man, and Randall was constantly changing up his needs and skills - settling more recently on his contacts with the mortal world. Now, with the Ravnos attaching to the Independent Alliance, he is settled enough to look towards his dreams again. The spotlight as a renowned magician. Fate has a way of putting him in the right place at the wrong time - failing upwards seems to be a trend for the young man.

Even at his worst, he's amongst the best." - Faith McGuire "If you can get through the showmanship exterior he is really quite charming... and incredibly helpful tracking down hard to find items." - Ivy Lynne Gatwood "Mr. Priest, to his credit, understands the importance of illusion. Far too many kindred, I've found, dig too deep; they become consumed with conspiracy theories, secret societies, assorted apocrypha... and for what, mm? Truth?! Hah, some prize!" - Zoltan Vancura "What a showman. It is not often one gets to appreciate the non-magical arts, so magically. 10/10 would hire for my childer's embraceday celebration, if I had a childer." - Kelly Cassidy "We had a good thing. Too bad he had to go and let some pithy emotions get in the way..." - Jace "Add your quote here..." - Your Name
