Randy Stockton was a male Human in the 24th century, born in the late 2350s or early 2360s. His father died some time prior to stardate 43201.8, and in early 2366, his mother brought him aboard the USS Enterprise-D when she joined as a civilian crewmember.

Randy was approached and befriended by Lieutenant Commander Data when, after spotting the android in the Enterprise corridors, the boy pointed and called him "weird." Randy quickly came to like Data after spending time with him and playing sharash'di together. (TNG comics: "Serafin's Survivors", "Shadows in the Garden")
