Randle P. McMurphy: Profile
Red-headed, with long red side-burns, and uncut hair, Randle P. McMurphy is a vicious and extremely dangerous man. He is tall, broad-shouldered and broad-jawed. Strong and sturdy, he has a broad, wide, devilish grin, and a seam runs across his nose and one cheekbone, which indicates the belligerent behaviour of this aggressive young man, of about 30 years.

He is particularly recalcitrant as far as authority figures are concerned. This is evident through his dishonorable charge from the army...
