Summary
Roland is a Vault Hunter and a former member of the Crimson Lance, the Atlas Corporation's private military force. A deeply moral and driven man, he became disgusted with his employer over time, the final straw being his entire team's execution by his own superior when the latter needed to cover up a corrupt dealing. After defeating the Destroyer and crushing the Atlas Corporation's remaining influence on Pandora, he rounds up the remaining Crimson Lancemen to start the Crimson Raiders, the forefront of the resistance against Handsome Jack's forces.
