A raid on his master's spice transport resulted in his mother and him being separated. The young slave ended up in the hands of the raiders along with the lion's share of spice. Some of the spice transporters survived and escaped along with Roland's biological mother. The ones that raided the vessel were Mandalorian. One simply offered the slave that he could join them or hop off at the earliest opportunity. At least, something along those lines. Roland was mostly just taken at that point.
Among the Mandalorians he remained in the tight knit group. But life was not easy. As time went on Roland came to realize that most of the Mandalorians were not the same as his own adoptive father who resorted to piracy and other methods of making money. He was a criminal and was hard on Roland.
The sister of the Roland's adoptive mother was the most supportive of him and was probably the biggest positive influence in his young life. When he became a legal adult he ended up trying his hand at bounty hunting. However Roland did not take down his intended target. Instead, his target was caught and captured by a Sector Ranger who had been hunting the fugitive for crimes. The young Roland expressed his dislike for crime and corruption. The Ranger, Otto Talask, took to liking the him since he was not just some bounty hunter wannabe. Taking him under his wing the young Mandalorian would go on to join the Sector Rangers.

Sticking mostly to the outer rim, life as a Mandalorian as well as a Sector Ranger have kept him busy but lacking in many exciting accomplishments. Whether by design or not, Roland has gone without much renown. With the Mandalorians as a people having a long history there are plenty of people even among the Sector Rangers who might harbor negative feelings for himself and his people. On the side Roland has pursued trying to find his nomadic clan as he since he last saw them when he left without saying a word.Participating early on in the Arcanist investigation, Roland traveled began frequently traveling between Nar Shaddaa, Naboo and Coruscant on a regular basis. When there was an attack on the Coruscant Prison, Roland responded quickly and faced off against a Knight of Ren. Being the first non-force sensitive to defeat a Sith in over a hundred years he also managed to wrangle the astromech piloted starfighter the cultist had arrived in. The information from the astromech provided information on the whereabouts of the Sith Temple on Bal'demnic.
Earning a promotion, Lieutenant Rook would lead Rangers in the field and in training exercise. Distinguishing himself in systems like Fondor, Circarpous, and Mandalore, the Mandalorian would also make an effort to work in part with the Jedi Order. Jedi like Hannibal Grayza, Maxims Tionson and Indyana Sati are some to name a few. On Mandalore, Roland witnessed the shared mass illusory event and from then made an effort to look into potentially dangerous artifacts and lost knowledge the Sith might use to plague the galaxy again.

Roland is a man who tries his best too seem like a hospitable gentleman. Manners and diplomacy must be exercised before force in his eyes. His own personal history with injustice and crime has made him believe strongly in abiding by the law as best as possible and doing what is right. A man of principle, he can often be considered stubborn and even old fashioned. While most Mandalorians only care about others of their own kind Roland has a broader outlook. Roland has a mix of newer-age open mindedness as well as a certain traditional charm to his character along with a sense of honorable humility. Roland has developed his stance as a bit of a gunslinger, though still a man of honor given the holo-vids he loved in his youth. Considering himself a galactic citizen as well as a Mandalorian, his duality as a law enforcement officer as well as a warrior of Mandalore, it sometimes puts him at odds even with his own people. To him, traveling the outer rim with his freedom and an honest job sustains him well enough for the most part.
