'''Rand''' (Japanese: '''タルガ''' ''Talga'') is a character in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]

He is the [[Pokémon Ranger|Area Ranger]] in charge of patrolling the [[Oblivia]] region at the beginning of the game. Rand lives on [[Renbow Island]] with his wife [[Leanne]] and daughter [[Nema]]. He is first met by the {{player}} at the [[Wireless Tower]] on top of [[Mt. Latolato]], where he asks the player to help him save the Radio Base from the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] who have taken it over. He then accompanies the player on many important missions and appears in many places, such as the [[Oblivia Ruins]] to get his wife and daughter back and the [[Sky Fortress]]. Rand, with the help of one of his daughters inventions, manages to tamper with the Super Plasma Cannon on the Sky Fortress saving Renbow island from destruction. He is temporarily sucked into a void by [[Purple Eyes]]'s {{p|Mewtwo}} while sacrificing his life for [[Edward]]'s sake while on the Sky Fortress. He is later brought back by Mewtwo and goes with Leanne to a conference in another region.
