Biography[]
Raising Lindsey and Sam Lesser[]
“ | What did I teach you? Expect a right hand punch to be thrown, throw a left up to block it, and throw a right of your own. | „ |
~ Randy trying to teach Sam how to fight. |
While Randy's wife's current status is unknown, Randy eventually had a child with her, Sam, and many years later they also had a daughter named Lindsey. He had an extremely antagonistic relationship with his son to the point that Sam frequently awoke with patricidal fantasies. It is unknown if his daughter regards him the same way or not, but he is not above threatening Sam in front of her. Randy often teaches Sam how to fight when he is being punished, considering the lessons to be for his son's own good and insulting him when he refused. He did display a nicer side around other kids, however. One morning, Randy catches Sam sneaking soda and challenges him until Tyler Locke rings the doorbell, surprising Randy who was concerned that his son was friendless. He warmly greeted him and allowed Sam to hang out with him.
Appearance[]
Randy Lesser is a tall, slender, and muscular middle-aged man with brown hair and a short beard. He dresses casually.
Personality[]
While he has always meant well, Randy Lesser appears to be easily aggravated, challenging Sam for sneaking soda without his permission, although he also initiated fights in the style he did to teach him to be better. It is unclear how he treated his daughter, but she isn't known to childishly question his authority and he was also nice to Tyler Locke when they met without even slightly taking out his frustration with a rebellious teenager on a mellow one, so they probably get along.
