Roland From library of ruina

Roland (롤랑, Lollang) is one of the main protagonists, a playable character in Library Of Ruina and the servant of Angela, following his story in the Library across the game. He used to be a Grade 9 Fixer of a one-man Office before he wandered into the Library. He is the first Librarian that the player can use, and becomes the Patron Librarian of the first Floor to be unlocked: the KeterIconFloor of General Works.

Now Roland works for Angela by getting her Books through receiving Guests, who are brought to the Library by the Invitations, fighting them during the Reception stage.

Roland has black short hair, pale skin, black eyes, and wears a simple black suit with a white shirt, a black tie, and black shoes.

Roland has a casual and relaxed personality, often clashing with Angela and the Patron Librarians. Being a person who has hit rock bottom, he has come to accept what he cannot change or control, while trying to survive and do his best in any situation, expressing this through his saying "That's that and this is this". He also believes that everyone is responsible for their own choices and that any resulting consequences are entirely their own fault - even if someone else's choice led to those consequences.

In his conversations with Angela, he is shown to have a rather deadpan and sometimes sarcastic demeanor, often teasing her about her lack of knowledge about the City, and how she does not open up to him very much. This usually makes Roland explain the various aspects of the City - the different Districts, the many Associations, Syndicates, and the other groups that operate throughout the City. He is not always knowledgeable of all its aspects, such as the Ruins.

Overall, Roland is a person who tries to make the best of his current situation, has a sense of logic and fairness, and shows some aversion when in stressful situations.

Story Some events here reference other cutscenes in Receptions, Suppressions, and Floor Realizations. For more context, see the individual pages of Guests and Patron Librarians for their individual stories.

Past According to Roland, he was formerly a "kickass" Grade 1 Fixer who mainly dealt with intelligence and information (and did not participate in actual combat) before being demoted to the lowest rank, Grade 9. He then started a one-man Office to continue making a living as a Fixer, before mysteriously finding himself inside the Library while trying to visit a HamHamPangPang sandwich shop.

Also according to Roland, he does not have any surviving family; his parents died when he was young, and he used to live with his grandmother until she mysteriously disappeared one day. He was also married, with his wife being another high-graded Fixer. However, both his wife and their unborn child were killed when their house collapsed in a disaster that happened in Roland's home district while Roland was away. Despite this, he claims to have accepted his loss, insisting that his tragedy was nothing special amongst the denizens of the City.
