At 15, Roland’s life shattered when a brutal goblin raid on Applecall claimed his father’s life, igniting a fire of resolve that transformed his privileged existence into a relentless pursuit of justice. Abandoning the Royal District’s luxuries, he joined the Verdant Spear, a Sol-aligned ranger order, where grizzled rangers trained him in tracking, combat, and goblinoid tactics, forging his strength and earning his position as an officer. Two years later, he proved his mettle by saving a Halfling caravan from a goblinoid ambush, a feat that won him his green cloak and his knighthood, marking his transition from noble heir to a protector of Lavonia’s borders against the rising goblinoid threat.
Now 29 in 2487, Roland patrols the northern wilds near Shantytown, his mind heavy with his father’s memory and his swortsword's tally marks a grim record of his vendetta. His dedication to thwarting Chaos has isolated him from his family, particularly his sister, as he embraces a modest lifestyle earned through patrol stipends, rejecting his former station. Whispers of organized goblin marches with a trident symbol fuel his vengence-fueled resolve, driving him to gather intel in the various district and rally other rangers to stay aware of threats, though his tunnel vision against goblinoids sometimes blinds him to the broader struggles of Lavonia’s outcasts, a tension he grapples with as he seeks to fulfill his duty.
Appearance
Apparel & Accessories
Varkis’s apparel and accessories reflect his knight-ranger identity featuring banded mail armor with overlapping metal strips, lightweight yet durable with vambraces and greaves for added protection. His wear is paired with sturdy boots for rugged terrain and a green cloak, its forest-green fabric subtly embroidered with red and gold to honor his Sol-aligned devotion. His arsenal includes a scimitar with tally-marked scabbard, a shortbow with Lavonian carvings, a quiver that holds around 20 arrows, and a hunting knife, all carefully tended, while a silver pendant with a sun emblem from a Temple priest hangs around his neck. A backpack, worn and patched, carries any other equipment needed.

Mentality
Morality & Philosophy
Ser Roland Varkis’s morality and philosophy are deeply rooted in the Lawful Good tenets of Unconquered Sol, viewing justice, order, and truth as divine mandates to protect Lavonia from the Chaotic forces of darkness and monsters. He sees nobles as divinely tasked guardians of the people, a duty he upholds with unwavering resolve, championing the kingdom’s prosperity as a reflection of Sol’s will.
However, his vendetta against goblinoids, marked by the tally on his scimitar’s scabbard, risks narrowing his focus, occasionally blinding him to the broader nuances of Lavonian politics or the plight of outcasts, though his training with the Verdant Spear instills a disciplined balance that strives to align his personal vengeance with the greater good.
