'''Randas''' is a hero known to have travelled through the [[Underground Pass (dungeon)|Underground Pass]], placing the [[Orb of light|orbs of light]] to protect travellers, boosting faith and courage as detailed in [[old journal|his journal]].{{CiteNPC|npc=Randas|quote=I came to cleanse these mountain passes of the dark forces that dwell here. I knew my journey would be treacherous, so I deposited Spheres of Light in some of the tunnels. These spheres are a beacon of safety for all who come. The spheres were created by Saradominist mages.|loc=Old journal}} His records feature prominently in the [[Underground Pass]] quest.

According to the {{TS|Spirit of the Pass}}, Randas travelled to the Underground Pass to fufil his desire to become a great and mighty warrior. As such, he was susceptible to [[Zamorak]]'s corruption.{{CiteNPC|npc=Koftik|loc=Underground Pass|quote=I remember seeing one such warrior. Going by the name of Randas... ..he stood tall and proud like an Elven King... ...That same pride made him vulnerable to Zamorak's calls. Randas' worthy desire to be a great and mighty warrior also made him corruptible to Zamorak's promises of glory. ..Zamorak showed him a way to achieve his goals by appealing to that most base and dark nature ...that resides in all of us.}} Due to this corruption, he performed an ancient ritual that altered his spirit forever, turning him into a [[soulless]].{{CiteLore|url=https://www.runescape.com/lore/spirit-of-the-pass|title=Spirit of the Pass}} It is said that he remains in the Pass in this state even today.{{CiteNPC|npc=Wise Old Man|quote=Randas was another great man, but he let himself be beguiled into turning to serve Zamorak, and they say he is now a mindless creature deep in the Underground Pass that leads to Isafdar.|loc=Draynor Village}} While several sources corroborate Zamorak as the source of corruption in the pass, it is also likely that [[Iban]] is responsible, whose voices and practices coincide with the descriptions of Randas's fate.

Randas at some point through his journey made note of siren calls within the Underground Pass in [[The Diary of Randas|his diary]] before becoming a soulless.{{CiteNPC|npc=Randas|quote=It began as a whisper in my ears. Dismissing the sounds as the whistling of the wind I steeled myself against these forces, and continued on my way. But the whispers became moans... At once fearsome and enticing like the call of some beautiful siren. Join us! Our greatness lies within you, but only Zamorak can unlock your potential... |loc=The Diary of Randas}}
