Appearance
Roland stands tall at six feet even, his build that of an individual who engages in regular exercise. He has some basic definition and does his best to remain flexible. His hair usually is either parted down the middle or he has it over to one side. He is a handsome devil, a fact that he both relishes and protects, if at all possible. His hair is brown as are his eyes. While he lacks in any strange or wondrous features as far as colored pupils or follicles, he makes it up with a smile that generally gets him in well with the ladies or the aloof men. Roland also prefers to wear the clothing that the more prosperous pirates enjoyed, that of dark linen in pants, shirt and cloak. He has found that darker colors make him seem more dangerous. Well, he feels that way, anyway.
Personality
Roland is a hard worker. Not in the sweat department, if he can avoid it, but he does his best to see that others do the most efficient job possible under his watch. He does his best to take care of himself, maintaining hygiene and fashion whenever possible. Nothing gets in the way of progress for Roland. Anything and anyone that does is an obstacle that must be dealt with in whatever manner is the most cost effective and expedient. While he would never admit it, he is vain, ambitious and full of avarice. Everyone and everything is a stepping stone toward his ultimate goals which change depending on his tastes at the time. He prefers not to kill or harm, but only because it generally is more effort and cleanup than it is to just come to a mutually satisfying conclusion.
History
Roland was born to glassblowers in Egilrun, and while his parents might disagree, his mother insists that he was definitely born to her. Outside of that, he seemed like someone else's child. While mindful and obedient, Roland seemed to lack the empathy that most of the crafting settlement in Scalvoris came with naturally. His father remembers his keen attention to detail and to the selling part of the craft more than the creative side. Sure, he would carry buckets of sand and separate colors, he would do anything they asked of him, but his attention was always fully on the prices at the end of the deal. The deal itself was the thing that Roland loved the most.
His education was something that he excelled at. It was before the Viden Academy arrived and the Pirate Lords still ruled the roost, so his opportunities for education were fleeting. Roland took advantage of every opportunity that he could to learn more. He had always felt that he was on his way to greatness and that most people that couldn't see that were merely shortsighted. In fact, he felt, at the time, that dealing with the Lords was the only way to flourish in life, considering they had been in power since he had been born. It was, in fact, the presence of the black markets of the Pirate Lords that really inspired the young man.
The Lords themselves noticed that he had a mind for numbers and coin and he was loyal. Not out of fear, but because he had a built in desire to negotiate. Many times did Roland save the Lords money, which made him an asset. He continued on in this manner for years, avoiding the toil and labor that awaited most non academics. All of that changed on his birthday, the day that the Pirate Lords and their ilk vanished along with the shadow beasts that came for them. It was never lost on Roland that he was born on the first day of Vhalar. With the absence of one hundred arcs of Pirate control, a great vacuum was created, ready to be filled with those who wished to see Scalvoris and their own lives flourish. People like Roland Demira.
Housing
Roland has a small house in Scalvoris proper, mixed among the many jumbled architectures of the city. His own house has only a window on the front of it, as far as the front of the houses on either side of him, the entrance being in an alley behind it. So, for some reason, this house was turned the opposite direction from its neighbors. Once inside, it showcases humble beginnings, but Roland knows everything has a beginning. it is dominated by a single open room, a bed in one corner , its feet facing the window, a simple table with two chairs, the remnants of a dinner still warm on a plate. A fire going in the fireplace, the majority of the rest of his clothing and items are found in a chest at the foot of the bed, a large standing mirror beside it. The only thing of note is that the bed is actually fitted with a white sheet and there are two pillows with pillow cases and a medium blanket. So, the bed is equipped, if nothing else. A coat rack rests by the door and a desk near the idle window, ink, pen and journal open under the light of a flickering candle.
