| |
| '''Roland''' was a [[Spartan-III Program|SPARTAN-III commando]] of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Naval]] [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Intelligence]] [[Beta-5 Division]]. He was a part of the elite Special Operations squad of [[Headhunters]]. He, along with [[Jonah]], led a successful stealth attack on an unknown remote [[moon]] on which the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] were searching for [[Forerunner]] relics.

| | |
| ==Biography==
| |
| ===Induction into Headhunters===
| |
| Roland was inducted into a two-man fire team as part of the special operations program known as "Headhunters". He was paired with Jonah after they were profiled as hitting 97.36 percent of the desired matchmaking criteria.
| |
| | |
| ===The infiltration===
| |
| The first mission of Roland as a part of the Headhunters team was in an unknown remote moon in which the Covenant were searching for Forerunner relics. He, along with Jonah, had the mission to destroy six of the total ten Covenant encampments. For this mission Roland was given an experimental [[Active Camouflage]] module for his armor.
| |
| | |
| In the beginning of the mission, Roland infiltrated the base under cover from his semi-active camouflage to place explosives on four reactors while Jonah engaged the troops in the camp barracks. In this early phase of the mission, Roland placed the explosives successfully, without being spotted. Later on, he helped Jonah on eliminating the remaining targets, all of whom were still confused by Jonah's energy disruptions and [[Flashbang Grenade]]s.
| |
| | |
| ===Death===
| |
| Right after Jonah had executed the seemingly last enemies in the base, Roland was impaled by a cloaked [[Special Operations Sangheili]] who was wearing a heavily modified [[Sangheili Combat Harness|harness]] and was holding an [[Energy sword]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''Headhunters''</ref>. With his last breath, Roland managed to utter "...Clear" to Jonah, which meant that the explosives were armed. Jonah detonated them shortly after, vaporizing himself, the cloaked Sangheili, and Roland's corpse.
