Randall Wicket (? AC - 419 AC) was a writer for The Flying Dragon in Nutter's Ridge. He gained the nickname "Sticky" from his friends in honor of the scrapes to which he was prone. This eventually would catch up with him.

In 419 AC, he was hired by Arnold Dreary to write articles for the quilting section of the paper. He thought this was boring, and wanted to get something with a bit more action for the paper. He met the pilgrim Rance Hodbarth, and from this meeting he made up the story titled "Cow Gives Birth to Snakes!". This article sold the paper out, and over a couple of weeks it catapulted Randall to celebrity status in Nutter's Ridge.

From this status, he got Harrow Bitterroot fired from her job at The Reeking Harlot since she would always give him an attitude. Eventually he tired of writing about places far from Nutter's Ridge, and decided to make things up that took place in the town. This brought too much heat onto Arnold's secret, and he ordered Randall killed. While in an alley, his throat was slit by some of Arnold's men while Arnold watched.
