Roland has been a leader all his life. In the nursery, he was the ringleader of many a cookie theft; at Eaton, he was made captain of the cricket team, despite his relative lack of skill, because his leadership inspired those who actually had talent. His family was understandably upset at his decision to join the military, as they remembered better than him the horrors of the Great War, but he assured them "The PM's said there'll be peace in our time, and even if he's wrong, then, by George, they're going to need every bit of help they can get!"
Roland is a very likeable fellow when amiable, but he can command attention if it is not freely given. He tends to be rather arrogant in an extremely likeable way; his casual assumption that everyone wants to do what he says is often accurate, and even those who don't like it have a hard time holding it against him. His likeability is bolstered by his strong sense of responsibility; noblesse oblige may seem insulting from most people, but Roland's demeanor makes almost any other behaviour unthinkable. He seems clearly destined to rule, though over what, no one is quite certain.
Roland's appearance adds to his commanding presence. His 6'1 frame is somewhat lean, but it appears toned rather than starved. His sandy hair is cut short and groomed well but not too meticulously, allowing the eye to focus on his commanding, almost raptor-like face. His eyes are a startling shade of green.
