In Roger Zelazny's Nine Princes in Amber, Corwin describes Random physically as: "a wily-looking little man, with a sharp nose and a laughing mouth and a shock of straw-colored hair." He describes Random's character (before marriage and kingship) this way: "But I knew he was nobody's fool; he was resourceful, shrewd, strangely sentimental over the damnedest things; and on the other hand, his word wasn't worth the spit behind it, and he'd probably sell my corpse to the medical school of his choice if he could get much for it." Random was the youngest legitimate son of Oberon and the shortest. Was teased often as a lad, but more than made up for it in guile and nasty pranks. He was a professional musician before the Unicorn chose him to succeed Oberon. Then the foot-loose scoundrel became transformed into a responsible and fair-minded king, using his cleverness and charm for good.

Sadly, a little too "on the nose", but sorta fun to mix and match traits...

Being Benedict is so dull. All I do is mope, and periodically lose a limb despite my vaunted martial prowess.

Not so! You can wangst about your dead servants, absent yourself from felicity (I never did like Keri Russell), get caught by Corwin's stupid trick, and totally fail to figure out about Dara.

Why, your days are just packed!

Plus you can spend time ducking blows from invisible ninja assassins while tending your Oriental Garden.

The portrayal of Benedict in the RPG is a bit inconsistent with what actually happens in the books.

Also, don't forget that I have the ugliest colors, and arguably, face, in the family! (Barring Dworkin.)
