## Biography

### Early Life

*"That's my squad. Never would've made it through life without 'em."*
―Randall Handel to Tom Wachowski[src]
Randall Handel had a group of friends who helped him through his life, despite thinking he was incapable of achieving real happiness. By 2020, Handel joined the Guardian Units of Nations with his friend group.

### "Operation: Catfish"

*"Randall, why do all of your friends have weapons?"*
―Rachel to Randall Handel[src]
When his future brother-in-law Tom Wachowski comes to meet him, Randall scolds him for the things he did to Rachel. He however reveals that his anger towards Tom was a joke, planned by his fiancée Rachel, but tells Tom that he must bury the hatchet with her.

Randall would later play volleyball with his squad against Tom's failing team and invites him for power yoga before celebrating with his friends.

At the moment of the wedding ceremony, Tom's phone interrupts it. He picks up the call in the distance only to ask Randall to give him the ring. Randall loses focus as Rachel shouts to put the ring on her finger. Randall is eventually punched, seeing a ring portal open upon recovery. The aliens Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails appear out of it, along with an avalanche. When the extraterrestrials are distracted, the Guardian Units of Nations appear to capture them, with Randall having to reveal he is an agent and that the wedding was a fabrication. He arrests Tom for trying to save Sonic and Tails.

Wallowing in guilt while speaking with Commander Sam Walters, Rachel attempts to hit him with a golf cart before calling him names. Walters tries to tase Rachel, only for Randall to take the shot. Recovering quickly, Randall must tell Rachel if there is anything real about their love, thus telling her he has achieved real happiness when finding Rachel, kissing afterwards.

## Personality

*"Before I met you, I didn't even think I was capable of real happiness. But that all changed when you walked into my life, and I ended up breaking the first rule of undercover work."
"Which is?"
"Never fall in love."*
―Randall Handel and Rachel[src]
A high-spirited fellow, Randall is playful and enjoys playing small pranks on people and tough physical activities. Underneath his fun-loving side though, he is also a kind, polite and sociable man who easily gets along with other people, whom he will offer a casual fist bump or a chill nickname. Also, despite being quite handsome and athletic, Randall is a humble man who believes strongly in the strength of friendship, having admitted that he would never have made it through life without help from his friends. For all his positivity though, he never believed himself capable of loving someone else. That changed however after he met Rachel.

While an undercover federal agent, where deceit is the name of the game, Randall is not without a conscience; after having deceived his love Rachel into a wedding set up for his superiors, he would feel extremely guilty over what he did to Rachel. This guilt prompts him to try and be honest whenever he can and make up for his mistakes. He is also not a brute, only resorting to physical force to retrain others and avoid unnecessary violence.
