24 **Transcript :** //A legendary wizard and wise historian, hauted by certain dark deeds in his past. Randown has roamed the world the ten long years since the elder of his two sons was kille, but has now come to terms with the grief and learned to control the rage. His reunion with the son he left behind will come about sooner than he thinks, as the old wizard finds himself in way over his head...//

31 The characters' biographies were leaked (with other promotional material such as official renders, condensed story and gameplay footage) [[on the website RareThief in September 2012.>>https://rarethief.com/dinosaur-planet/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] All bios are dated for the year 2000.
32 \\It’s worth mentioning though, not all character’s information and trivia are present [[in the December 1, 2000 prototype.>>https://archive.org/details/dino_20210220||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] These were probably written pretty early on the development of the game to summarize each character but were not really changed after the game’s story underwent many changes and evolutions. (i.e : //Krystal backstory not being mentioned except that she was adopted by Randorn, or Krystal’s crush on Sabre even though they are siblings.//)

46 May be a remnant from a past story, this isn’t mentioned in the final game once since the sibling characters don’t interact at all.

60 📚 This questions and answers section is directly from Krystal's character biography [[from RareThief's blog.>>https://rarethief.com/dinosaur-planet/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]]
61 )))
62
63 * //What does Randorn want to do when Dinosaur Planet has been saved?//
64 The old wizard would like to live his retirement watching over [[Sabre>>Sabre]] and [[Krystal>>Krystal]], as they lead the mighty Wolven tribe into a new era of peace... and good soak in the tub wouldn't hurt either!
65
66 * //Personality//
67 A great leader, master of magic and a skilled warrior! These are all descriptions that have been given to Randorn. His weakness is his family. The death of his eldest son unleashed the dark side of his nature and if you ask the [[Vixen>>Fox Tribe]] to describe him, they would say he was the butcher of the innocent! He holds a dark secret, which if[[ Krystal>>Krystal]] ever discovers, she would kill him!

71 This is interesting because, in the voicelines found in the game there is a moment where Randorn tries to tell the truth to Krystal about her parents' death but he's stopped by her because she only remembers him and doens't want to know. 'There is only you.'
72 )))
73
74 * //Role within the game//
75 During the course of the game Randorn will reside in [[Warlock Mountain>>Warlock Mountain]]. The player will visit him every time they return to the mountain with [[a spirit>>doc:Main.Game-History.Star-Fox-Adventures.WebHome]]. The old wizard is very knowledgeable and will be an invaluable guide for the player as they journey through the adventure. He will also give out spare magic item of Magic Energy if the player is running out.

84 This is a section of [[Nick Southam>>https://www.artstation.com/nicksoutham]]'s piece on his artstation. In this piece, we can see a younger wizard and adopted [[Krystal>>Krystal]].
85 Randorn sports a lot more stuff (A huge backpack), travelling stick and coat compared to his model in-game. Of course, this coudl also be due that Randorn at that time was travelling a lot and his in-game model reflects a more casual outfit.

93 In this storyboard, by [[Michael Cawood>>http://michaelcawood.com/starfox-storyboards/]], we see a much more close in-game appearence of Randorn (Toge, no cape/coat, his long nose and slouched demeanor). We unfortunatly don't have full renders like [[Sabre>>Sabre]] or [[Krystal>>Krystal]] of Randorn at the moment.

121 Randorn in-game model is pretty similar to his lonely headshot render. These screenshots are taken from the return of [[Krystal>>Krystal]] to [[Warlock Mountain>>Warlock Mountain]] after her first spirit, they introduce themselves as the first [[Quan Ata Lachu>>Quan Ata Lachu]], first born of eight and explain they have to be found in order to have peace back on Dinosaur Planet.
122 \\We also learn the [[Krazoa>>Krazoa]] are the one testing [[Krystal>>Krystal]] and [[Sabre>>Sabre]] in the various tests in order to gain a spirit of a [[Quan Ata Lachu>>Quan Ata Lachu]].
