Jumper[]
Roland is one of the most formidable field commanders of the Paladins. Like all Paladin members, he seeks to kill all Jumper (anyone with the ability to teleport anywhere) until all of them were extinct due to Paladin believed that Only God should have the power to be all place at all times, and deemed Jumpers as abominations to the world and a disgrace to God. It appeared that he was recruited as Paladin member since his childhood given to his dedication for Paladins' cause.
He has been trying to kill Griffin O'Connor for a long time, but has been unsucessful (he has badly injured him, however). Griffin has also been trying to kill him but Roland is the most skilled of all the paladins and is very difficult to kill, even for Griffin, who specializes in killing paladins.
Roland hunts down David Rice (who is a jumper) and badly injures (or kills) his father. Roland is forced to fight both David and Griffin at once when the two jumpers team up. Roland traps David with electric wires and fights Griffin all out. He gets knocked through a wall and then dodges a huge bus that was thrown at him by Griffin. Roland and Griffin then go through a jump scar into Millie's apartment (which is on fire) and continue to fight each other. Neither one can kill the other but Griffin manages to grab the paladins machine and escape, preventing Roland from coming back to the lair. Roland then pulls Millie into the apartment through the scar, holding her as a hostage. After David incapacitates Griffin in a fight, David goes to save Millie.
Roland pins him to the wall and is about to kill him but David jumps the enitre apartment to the river and then to the library. Roland is badly injured and David then jumps him to an abandoned cave in the Grand Canyon. David leaves him there and Roland is trapped. His ultimate fate is unknown, but it is unlikely that he managed to escape, so he probably died due to dehydration and lack of nourishment.
