Butler, warrior, moral philosopher, robot.
Randolph is all that and more.
Randolph is the prized product of Superior Domestics, a Silicon Valley firm dedicated to producing robot servants for people who grew up watching British period costume dramas on PBS.
The company's motto is, All the gracious living of Upstairs with none of the unseemly drama of Downstairs.
When the novel opens with the assassination of King Donald II and a coup d' tat, Randolph epitomizes that motto.
He is.
