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.

According to Roland, in many ways he is the ship and thus a person can't find anyone with more authority aboard the ''Infinity'' than him. This grants Roland the ability to legally perform wedding ceremonies the same as the captain of a ship.
