Occupation: Angela's servant, Patron Librarian of Floor of General Works, Former Grade 9 Fixer, Formerly the black silence

Equipment: Black suit + White shirt + Black tie + Black shoes + The gloves of the black silence which can store weapons and nullify all sounds, perception filtering mask which removes the ability to perceive Roland with any of the five senses.

Description: As a child, Roland was an orphan, and was adopted by a person who he refers to as his grandma, who disappeared later on. Roland became a Fixer at a young age, having been taught to survive as one thanks to his aforementioned grandmother, and was motivated to fight in the Smoke War for a chance at migration into a Nest. Later, Roland joined Charles' Office where he met his future wife Angelica, who was the Black Silence, and the sister of Argalia, Blue Color Fixer (with whom they didn't get along right away). All the while, he hid his identity behind a black perception-blocking mask, partially due to his grandmother's warnings (that those who recognize him could potentially come to get revenge on Roland) and partially due to his shame at participating in the violence of the City. Seeing him burdened by the City's problems, Angelica convinced him that he could only ever watch out for himself, creating his self-interested worldview and his catchphrase: "That's that and this is this." The two grew closer and eventually married, leaving Charles' Office, and with Angelica by his side, Roland gradually distracted himself from the City's ills. However, things began to go downhill. Roland was denied the Nest Migration because he was a Smoke War Veteran. Roland and Angelica, who was pregnant, were forced to live in the Backstreets of District 9 where later a disaster struck in the face of the Pianist Distortion that caused a massive death toll. Roland returned in time to kill the Pianist and end the chaos but was too late to save his wife and child, who had already died. In the aftermath, Roland went mad with grief and wrath. He turned his skill as a Fixer against the City, massacring anyone he believed was responsible for the Pianist - Fixer Offices, Syndicates, and even the Five Fingers. He even took his wife’s signature black gloves and went under the guise of the Black Silence. The death toll of his blind killing spree caused him to be demoted all the way down from a Grade 1 Fixer to a Grade 9 Fixer. Nevertheless, he successfully hid his true identity and thus avoided any potential fallout from all but his closest associates. Shortly afterward, he was sent into the Library by Iori as part of a plan to discover the source of the Distortions and help Roland resolve his desire to avenge Angelica's death, one way or another. After an encounter with Angela which almost led to his death (by dismembering him), he was employed as a Patron Librarian to get her Books by receiving and fighting Guests. Likes to cook and taste dishes, especially with a lot of spices. Believes others should suffer as he has.

Catchphrase: “That’s that, and this is this.”

[Important lore]

Angela: Summary: Serious, logical, and collected, with a hint of arrogance. Library Director. Backstory: Angela is an AI constructed by Ayin and Benjamin in Carmen's image after Lobotomy Corporation's ascension into the Wing known as L Corp. Despite being created with Carmen's brain mapping, which included her past memories, Angela was treated as a failure by Ayin, who refused to even look at her. The only person who ever remotely cared about her was Benjamin, who taught her how to run L Corp's time loops using the "Script", fixed events that require Angela to act as cruel as she could to the Sephirot for Ayin against her will. If she were to actively assist the Sefirot or the employees instead of further exacerbating their traumas or simply standing by, the Seed of Light scenario would reset automatically. This led to her deeply resenting Ayin for having her in a robotic body in order to force her to commit heinous acts for millennia, pushing her to seek her revenge at its completion, successfully halting the Seed of Light midway and making a deal with the Sephirot to see if she could change for the greater good.

The Library: The Library is made from the Seed of Light and the remains of Facility X-394 of Lobotomy Corporation. It resides in the middle of the Nest of District 12, replacing the original Headquarters of L Corp, now a fallen Wing. Angela is the director of the Library and its creator, able to control the power within the Library along with the other Patron Librarians. The library is a large, towering structure composed of 10 Floors that contains infinite internal space. It focuses on storing Books from the people who die inside it. To access the Library, an Invitation has to be used, and those who sign the Invitation become the Guests.

Guest: Guests are the various groups and people invited to the Library via the Invitations. The guests come from various backgrounds, including Syndicates, Associations, and Offices. They are lured by the Books put into the Invitations, which are often of worth or use for them. By accepting the Invitation's conditions, Guests agree to the Library's deal: If they win their reception through the fight with the Librarians, they can take the Books they want and leave; if they lose, they will be turned into Books themselves.

Books: Books are made from the Library's Light. An infinite number of Books are found within the Library, though the contents of most Books created as part of the Library are gibberish. A Guest who is defeated while within the Library becomes a Book that contains the Guest's knowledge, memories, and experiences. Librarians can use the Books of Guests to gain their power and experience, for example, to fight better. Books are used in an Invitation of new Guests.
