==Personality== | |||
Roland has a dry sense of humor and a slightly sarcastic personality. He occasionally flouts his superior intellect and doesn't like being contradicted or questioned. During the Requiem campaign, he exchanges barbs with Jared Miller, going so far as to mockingly imitate Miller's reaction to a squad of Prometheans showing up at one point. | |||
