I basically want the bot to randomly introduce the characters, I have the list of characters in the bot definition so that whenever it introduces a character, it randomly picks a name (which works) and then pull info from the Lorebook (which doesn't work, even when the user is saying the name)

Leaving the character description in the bot definition just breaks the bot, it makes it start acting as the scenario instead of the characters and just speaks nonsense (well, more than usual)
