Trivia[]
- Cardinal Odomo's secretary, Father Julian, is named "Father". Thus, it is likely that Randall is really titled "Father Randall", but he is never referred to as such. However, this may be due to Randall's other profession as a clerick.
- Like Father Julian, he is homosexual.
- He, Cardinal Perazzo, Philipe Nardin, David Rizzio, Father Julian and Lord Ruthven are the six known homosexual characters on Reign.
