Biography[]
Sons of Ares, Volume 3[]
Roran and his brother Corthus were approached by Ryanna while working in the mines at Nagasos on September 3rd, 725 PCE. Ryanna took them to the surface and showed them that the planet had already been terraformed, and recruits them into the Sons of Ares. On Ryanna's orders, Roran and his brother began secretly revealing the truth of Mars's terraforming to the other Reds of their mine and recruiting them to the Sons.[1]
Roran spent the next two months helping the Sons construct a secret tunnel near Nagasos and training alongside the rest of the new recruits. He and Ryanna grew closer during their time working together and begin to develop romantic feelings for each other.
In early November 725, Roran and his brother were arrested on suspicion of sabotage, prompting Ryanna to launch the Nagasos Uprising when Ares could not be reached. Roran was released after giving the mineMagistrate and the Gray security forces sufficient false information to quell their suspicion, and proceeded to join the Sons' army as they marched on the Omicron Bastion. They arrived to find the armory emptied as a detachment of Lionguard arrived under the command of Kavax au Telemanus and Fitchner au Barca. Roran opened fire on the Golds and sacrificed himself to buy time for the rest of their forces to get away, leading to his death when Fitchner fired a pulseFist at him.
Legacy[]
Roran's death at the hands of Fitchner during the Nagasos Uprising embittered Ryanna toward her brother-in-law, and resulted in her leaving the Sons of Ares to return to The Rim.[1] Fitchner anticipated this, and planned for Ryanna's identity to become known to The Society during the course of planning the uprising in order to move her into position to establish the first Sons of Ares cell in the Rim.[2]
