Larry Randolph is a supporting character in the anime Armitage III, where he serves as the police chief of the Martian Police Department, often referred to as the MPD. He is an older man with gray hair that is cut to ear length and gray eyes. His background is that of a seasoned law enforcement officer who has risen to a leadership position within the department. Randolph is deeply invested in the well-being of his subordinates, frequently offering them advice and support, and he places a high value on loyalty and trust within his team. He is not afraid to question suspicious circumstances and is willing to take unofficial paths when necessary to achieve results, especially when facing pressure from higher authorities. His motivations are rooted in a desire to do what he believes is right while navigating the political complexities of his role. In the story, Randolph oversees the investigation into the murders of Third-type androids. He welcomes the new officer Ross Sylibus and assigns him to the case alongside Naomi Armitage. Though he suspects that Armitage may be connected to the murders, he initially keeps this to himself because she is a capable officer. However, when the situation escalates, he feels compelled to issue an arrest warrant for her. His key relationships include Ross Sylibus, Eddie Barrows, and Naomi Armitage. He treats Eddie with a mix of discipline and leniency, even using a suspension as a cover to allow Eddie to help Ross without official scrutiny. Randolph is a hard-boiled leader who understands both the operational and political aspects of police work. He is physically fit despite his age and is skilled in handling the pressures of his position, though his notable abilities lie more in his command presence, political acumen, and ability to think strategically rather than in any extraordinary physical prowess. His development throughout the series is subtle, as he remains a steady, pragmatic figure who adapts to the unfolding crisis while trying to protect his officers and maintain order on Mars.
