Totally agree. I knew it was a running thing and had more "legit" references recently, but I didn't realize how robust his infamy is now. In Warframe, Digital Extremes has a similar enemy fan mascot called Clem. The player that originally cooked him up passed away recently, and DE made him a tribute for [IRL player] in one of the social spaces. Clem.
I love the idea that the Reaver is an immortal thief. Rasputin, SIVA, Gjallahorn, the Loot Cave, and Archie. Seems like wherever there’s powerful weaponry or technology to be found, the Reaver will be there to take it for himself. He even picked up a sizeable crew in his latest appearance, good for him! You have to wonder if maybe Avarokk, who has the same cloak as Taniks as well as prosthetic arms like him, might have come to Old Russia because he heard rumors of another legendary undying pirate.
If there is ever a need for a filler dlc again, Randal needs to finally just reveal that he’s been plotting this whole time, and they give us one last fight with him duel wielding ghallarhorns
Every D1/D2 knows of Randal the Vandal so it's brilliant to see the lore updated to include him but also to see discussions about him and the loot cave and how they are now woven into main stream.
Randal has to be living his best life he gets to throw hands with guardians and wins at least half the time and he can come back and fight em again man's power level must be fucking insane even raid bosses don't come back as often as this man does and they are literal gods
They say Randal was so strong that when a Titan tried to hide away in his bubble Randal with just 2 arms slowly started to crush the bubble inward, crushing the titan within~!
I heard stories that when a Warlock tried to slam a well of radiance onto Randal's head, he parried it with two hands and used his other two to grab it by the hilt before cutting the warlock clean in half with the Well made into Dawnblade
I know in D1, 3 of us used all our supers. And ghorn...... and he's still there's calling on us to ""Come at me bro!!!" I love seeing him in Wrath of the machine!!!"
The fact is, Randal soloes the Witness and it's not even close. We should be focussing on diplomatic efforts to convince Randal to join our side and fight the Witness.
My name is James Randal, I'm 82 years old. My favorite food is a heartbreaker, with cream, extra cheese, no lettuce, and a side of French with extra salt, a non carbonated beverage, and a side salad with extra crouton and no tomato.
I remember the first time I fought him used up all my rockets and my striker tittan smash anf he was still at like half health i was shook core destiny memory ❤
I know Randall's the main legend at this point, but we can't forget about the celebrant of Oryx (aka Mike the Knight) who was guarding the warmind bunker in D1. To this day, I still don't know why they haven't brought him back.
People have said that Misraaks or Ido will be the first Eliksni Guardian, but truth be told that title was taken long ago. Randal is the first Eliksni Guardian, for he always returns and always will
I really hope that Randal Joins the house of Light im sure alot of Guardians whould welcome him with open arms. Who knows he might even be the first Eliskni Guardian.
If bungie did adress Randall seriously in future lore I would not be surprised if he was a Fallen Guardian. It would not only explain how he comes back from the dead so many times but would also explain how he came back Siva Free. Since he's living amoung the Fallen he might be reluctant to use his powers and keeping it a secret from his peers, hence why he is alone in the forgotten shore most of the time.
Hmm, could it be that they somehow died during a Hive ritual, and that led to him being seemingly immortal? Or maybe they are a risen eliksni and are keeping it secret.
What if this entire time Randal has actually been a Lightbearer? With a Ghost and all. His Ghost would have realized the issue accidently raising of an Elinski vs a Human at the time being a total possible firecracker into a world of trouble for him. And has just hid it the entire time---much like The Drifter learned to hide the fact he was one during the Dark Age, but never using the light directly because would make him a target to the City for various reasons. To the point where Misraaks might have heard stories of some Vandals that seemed to be able to go toe-to-toe with Guardians; but never able to contact them or connect the dots was Randal due to him not actually being aligned to any house in reality. That being due to him hiding after each death so none would figure out the same one found at various places. Just changing clothing based on a group of dead Elinski found in area, which is why he was able to get involved in Devil Splicers, and during the Red War was near the Traveler's shard because same vision every other Guardian got, then went back to Old Russia assuming to live a fairly peaceful life. Even with fresh Risen Lightbearers popping up, because their tall tales of a Vandal being hard to kill will be chalked up to inexperience, low light level, and crappy gear. Sadly, Randal the Vandal not knowing that he could possibly now go to The City, because he doesn't know how or is too afraid to contact the House of Light; especially after seeing what happened with Hive Lightbearers events and the current Shadow Legion forces around. All we know how to do is Shoot, Punch, Stab to him.
His real name is Rahndel The Undying. But like how Misraaks got called “Mithrax”, someone must have heard his true name but called him “Randal”, thus the name stuck. Who knows what power keeps him coming back to life, perhaps like a Scorn, but perfect.

Good old Randal.
Randal the Vandal
Randal the Vandal is one of my favorite bits of community lore. Love that Bungie plays along with us in such good spirits.
Totally agree. I knew it was a running thing and had more "legit" references recently, but I didn't realize how robust his infamy is now.
In Warframe, Digital Extremes has a similar enemy fan mascot called Clem. The player that originally cooked him up passed away recently, and DE made him a tribute for [IRL player] in one of the social spaces. Clem.
"Reaver of Old Russia" is such a baller title
Randal killed me about a thousand times during the Beta. I was such a sucker for punishment, kept going back.
Everyone knew, as soon as Randal showed up. You stop whatever you're doing and go help. lol
The witness: I fear no man but *randal walks in* he scares me
I love the idea that the Reaver is an immortal thief. Rasputin, SIVA, Gjallahorn, the Loot Cave, and Archie. Seems like wherever there’s powerful weaponry or technology to be found, the Reaver will be there to take it for himself. He even picked up a sizeable crew in his latest appearance, good for him!

Love how this is half lore and half folk-tales. Wonderful video!
Randal, my guy. Join us already, join House Light. If you need a place to stay? You can crash with me.
Now THIS is crucial Destiny lore
OG Randal is the true definition of "it's not a bug, it's a feature."
LUL the true final bawss..
my reaction when I encountered him when found Archie: "what the.. no fckn way!"
Literally nobody
Mylien : Randel the Vandel
Randy needs his own season in the Final Shape.
The Season of The Vandal incoming, woohoo!
there are no more seasons
@@manfromhamaslume no shit Sherlock
Or a cutscene boxing it out with Saint 14 lol
I hope he joins house light, we would be unstoppable
If there is ever a need for a filler dlc again, Randal needs to finally just reveal that he’s been plotting this whole time, and they give us one last fight with him duel wielding ghallarhorns
Every D1/D2 knows of Randal the Vandal so it's brilliant to see the lore updated to include him but also to see discussions about him and the loot cave and how they are now woven into main stream.
Randel needs a sign above his cave that states that this is the current home of Randel and his pet shank
Everyone keeps speaking about the witness, rhulk, nezarec but everyone keeps forgetting the scariest enemy... Randal
Gods, disciples, bred-for-war armies, and the most dangerous enemy we have faced is a single vandal telling Taniks how to be too angry to die
Randal has to be living his best life he gets to throw hands with guardians and wins at least half the time and he can come back and fight em again man's power level must be fucking insane even raid bosses don't come back as often as this man does and they are literal gods
They say Randal was so strong that when a Titan tried to hide away in his bubble Randal with just 2 arms slowly started to crush the bubble inward, crushing the titan within~!

Don't forget the Hunter Gathering Storm staff he caught and threw back!
Ran’Dal Kell of Vandals
Love me some destiny lore
randal the vandal time
you'd think living with house light we'd get some verification of the rumor
If Randal turns out to be the true final shape I doubt anyone in the community will be disappointed.
It's just his destiny.
the background audio in every video just is like home for me at this point. love it
randal gave me sloppy loot in the drifters jumpship
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Randal gives sloppy? Oh my
I misread this...
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
You foul creature
Would be mega hype if Rhandal chose to align himself with house light
I know in D1, 3 of us used all our supers. And ghorn...... and he's still there's calling on us to ""Come at me bro!!!" I love seeing him in Wrath of the machine!!!"
I still remember when I first ran into Randal in D1 and then back in the EDZ in D2. I thought both instances were glitches of some sort.
Randall the Vandall will be the Kell of Kells
The fact is, Randal soloes the Witness and it's not even close. We should be focussing on diplomatic efforts to convince Randal to join our side and fight the Witness.
Kelgorath wishes he could be Randal
whoa, Myelin played Trials and got that sweet Igneous Hammer drop. What a gamer!
My name is James Randal, I'm 82 years old. My favorite food is a heartbreaker, with cream, extra cheese, no lettuce, and a side of French with extra salt, a non carbonated beverage, and a side salad with extra crouton and no tomato.
Spaceboy is a really good gta rp streamer to watch as James Randal
Randal the Vandal
The final boss in the new raid or maybe Taniks?
Thanks! This told me everything I need to know for the final shape!
As soon as Zorpaloids are referenced, I'll be happy 😅
Randal!!!! A true staple of the Destiny Universe!
Have you heard the legends of Randall's furious taint scratching?
Randal The Vandal
Randal is a legend. He needs his own throne world
I have lost to many friends to that Vandal. I don’t fear anything but him
Randal is the real GOAT of Destiny!
Randal the Vandal. That was a good piece on Randal.
Randal the Vandal. a great community addition to the lore!
We need to recruit him. Someone get Mithrax on the phone!
Randal vs the Fanatic, a never ending war of immortals.
-grabs popcorn 🍿
Another Myelin video. Let’s goooooo! Hope you’re doing well
I remember the first time I fought him used up all my rockets and my striker tittan smash anf he was still at like half health i was shook
core destiny memory ❤
Long live Randal the Vandel!😂
I love this community!
I love randel the vandel. I didn't realize there was some lore on him.
Straight away, I can see he got some big thicc energy as if he was Rambo but as a Fallen.
I'm glad you covered this very important bit of destiny lore. 😂
I know Randall's the main legend at this point, but we can't forget about the celebrant of Oryx (aka Mike the Knight) who was guarding the warmind bunker in D1. To this day, I still don't know why they haven't brought him back.
Now all we need is Xylar, the Timeless in the Final Shape and all will be as it should.
People have said that Misraaks or Ido will be the first Eliksni Guardian, but truth be told that title was taken long ago. Randal is the first Eliksni Guardian, for he always returns and always will
I really hope that Randal Joins the house of Light im sure alot of Guardians whould welcome him with open arms. Who knows he might even be the first Eliskni Guardian.
Thanks Matt!!
He’s back!
Love these videos.
Randal the Vandel the ultimate final raid boss
What a beautiful story
Randall's in D2? How'd i miss that? Where?
Peak Myelin content
I feel like at this point the only logical step is to make Randal a proper raid boss like Taniks
If bungie did adress Randall seriously in future lore I would not be surprised if he was a Fallen Guardian.
It would not only explain how he comes back from the dead so many times but would also explain how he came back Siva Free.
Since he's living amoung the Fallen he might be reluctant to use his powers and keeping it a secret from his peers, hence why he is alone in the forgotten shore most of the time.
Bungie should canonize his return as the first Eliksni to have a ghost, but he refuses to wield the light because of the traveler leaving his people
Is there a Fallen themed Episode? Maybe Randal will finally get his his own dungeon...
Hmm, could it be that they somehow died during a Hive ritual, and that led to him being seemingly immortal? Or maybe they are a risen eliksni and are keeping it secret.
Oh shit this guy still makes content!
Perfect lore!
Covering community lore sounds like a fun idea
Randal the vandle what a scandal To find a treasure defeat him we must. Only to find a cave of dust!
He is still there!
Randal appears later in an Episode as a Light Bearer.
Randal has a ghost im saying now lol.😂
Sounds like Randal the vandal is effected by a dragon wish, something that keeps him coming back but not like what happened to fikral
Hay Myhelin are you doing a lore quiz with Aztecross this year.. ?
this is what im here for.
Manscape your randals, Guardians !
Randal is the final shape
What if they make up lore after final shape saying that he is actually the first fallen guardian?
I missed the week where archie was lost in the cosmodrome 😢

Randal is far more than some Vandal.
He my fren.
what if.... I mean we know some ghosts chose to raise Hive as Guardians...
Perhaps Randall is an experiment of sorts.
Right off the bat, nice hat.
Well done :)

Randal is the chicken to our Peter
Randal is inevitable
They need to promote him to Randal the Last Kell 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll never forget him when he slapped TF out of oryx and 21-0 me in a private match. There is no boss in the game that can touch him.
Randal, Teacher of taniks
We need Randall to get pulled in to House Light. With everything he's seen... come on.
We need Randal as a raid boss
Long live Randall
The true first raid boss
Good ol RAndal.
