### **Basic Information**
- **Occupation**: Knight Errant, Bodyguard to Magister Alric
- **Birthplace**: Normandy, France
- **Age**: 38
- **Background**: A hardened knight with a past steeped in **war, duty, and whispered horrors**. Once a loyal soldier in Edward III’s campaigns, Roland was **wounded at Crécy (1346)** and left for dead.

Now, he serves Magister Alric, knowing full well that the scholar’s **secrets go beyond mere astrology**. Whether to **protect England from dark forces—or to ensure those forces do not claim Alric himself—Roland has yet to decide.**
