| Character Information | |
Roland is an Unwound boy Connor, Risa, Mai, and Hayden met in Sonia's shop basement. He is troubled, like Connor but obviously a bit more, especially without someone like Risa to control his temper. He is also muscular and is the first and only supporting character to be unwound, and also the first character whose unwounding is explained. After being unwound, his right forearm, with the shark tattoo, was transplanted on Connor.
History
When he was six, he had a beautiful babysitter who shook his sister too hard. It was not specified whether she was killed or just left in a very bad condition.
When Roland was ten, he broke his arm. The doctor told his mom he could have a new arm, or a cast. They took the latter because it was cheaper. He drew a shark on it and, when the cast came off, he got a tattoo to make the shark permanent.
Once, when his stepfather beat Roland's mother, he beat him up, too. The mother took her husband's side and he got off with a warning. Roland, on the other hand, was sent to be unwound.
Appearance
Fuck you thunder, you can suck my dick
Personality
Roland had dreams of being a military boeuf but apparently had too much testosterone, or steroids, or a combination of both, leaving him a little too scary even for the military. Like Connor, Roland got into fights at school— although Connor suspected Roland's fights were much, much worse.
Roland is not a killer, but a fighter. He is said to be strong and brave and a good leader. He's manipulative and uses people for his own personal gain. He is intimidating and has a short fuse, having shouted a lot in the book. According to his own mother, he is a lot like his father, who got sent to prison before he was born.
Despite that he seems tough, he really is afraid of Unwinding. He tells the nurses and surgeons that he wants them to go to hell and that he hates each of them. He loves his mother, despite that she had him unwound.
Roland may have gotten his tattoo because, during these days, kids tend to get tattoos when they're little.
