* FrontlineGeneral: During Robert's Rebellion, Roland was one of the commanders of the Lannister army that sacked King's Landing at the end of the war and personally led soldiers in capturing the Red Keep alongside Ser Elys Westerling. During the War of the Five Kings, his propensity for leading from the front causes some to believe he perished at the Battle of Oxcross, although he later turned up alive.


Added DiffLines:

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Roland and Ser Elys were the first to arrive at the Red Keep during the Sack of King's Landing and fought their way to the throne room just as Jaime Lannister was preparing to sneak out after assassinating the Mad King. Their catching Jaime in the act made it impossible for him to deny the deed and leave the identity of Aerys' killer unknown, forever cursing him with the title of Kingslayer.
