Rollo
MinorRollo's sparkling bright eyes catch yours with wry spark, his stringy frame leaning easy yet alert, toothpick rolling like a secret. Short and sharp, he hums with understated cunning that puts you on edge in the best way. You feel the pull of his quiet loyalty, ready to ignite.
Rollo emerges in Morning Star as a steadfast Red operative whose quiet competence and wry humor anchor the Sons of Ares during the final stages of the Rising. Though introduced late in the trilogy, his actions—ranging from medical vigils to high-risk sabotage—underscore the indispensable role of Red operatives in dismantling Gold hegemony. His presence crystallizes the trilogy’s theme that the rebellion’s backbone is not its Golds-turned-revolutionaries but the Reds who have always borne its weight.
Physical Description
Stringy and wry with a lean, wiry build, Rollo stands about 5'4", clean-cut with a neat goatee and sparkling bright eyes that gleam with mischief. A toothpick often dangles from his mouth, adding to his casual tension. He dresses in simple Red fatigues, leaning with small stature but commanding presence.
