A dashing young duelist who always wears the latest style. Forced to prove his worth in this harsh world with merely his 3 personal servants, his masterwork dueling gear, and a paltry 25g left from his allowance.

Appearance
Physical Description
Well-toned, but thin. Not traditionally strong but looks like he could burst into action at a moment's notice.
Apparel & Accessories
Rolen stands 5'7" with an over confident air about him. Clad in the latest fashion and a marvelous purple cloak with a spider motif. Depending on the situation Rolen changes outfits frequently. A common theme however is usually a silk cravat. Even his armors are of a leather that looks unusually fine. He also has a flamboyant leather hat with several large feathers.
Rolen has wavy blond hair tied back in a ponytail. He also has a stylish goatee that is always well maintained; even when he's been in the wild.
Two ornate hilts stick from his sword belt. When he moves just right daggers and darts can be seen straped to the inside of his cloak and clothing.
Mentality
Personal history
Rolen has always had wanderlust and wants to make his way. Perhaps very influenced by his sister. Has had tutors for various skills. Training in how to run the business. Nothing ever inspired him. Felt like his family’s wealth made it so he couldn’t be his own man and he’d never make it. Got a lot of pressure from father to join the business or join a monastery.
Learning dueling has been the one thing that truly excited him. Wants to prove himself as a world-famous duelist. Father believes that such silly dreams are below his station.
The last few years has consistently lost his support pillars, his friend, sister, brother, and finally his mentor, Diego. This left him with only family that puts pressure on him. Decided he had nothing holding him here and was going to make his way on his own and prove his father wrong.
Rolen, determined to prove he can make it without his father, gathered his 3 personal servants, his dueling gear, and his remaining weekly allowance of 25g and left to make his mark on the world.
Education
The best tutors and an enviable library to pull from. Any skill that he wished to pursue, if his father approved would find a tutor or instructor.
Employment
Currently adventuring for Flateshale Wharf and dueling at the Steps of Glory.

Contacts & Relations
Diego - Sword master, old war vet. Hired to teach dueling and self defense which is proper. Rolen mostly focused on the dueling and tuned out a lot of the practical lesson. Lessons might still be rattling around in there. Left the family’s employ very suddenly without notice about 3 months before the start of Rolen’s adventures. Haven’t heard from him since.
Rival, Iago Liadon- Son of another trader/negotiator. Childhood friend turned rival. Rolen and Iago would regularly sneak out of their estates to sample the nightlife. Would sometimes anger the wrong people. A couple years ago they got pulled in by the city watch for disturbing the peace, destruction of a fruit cart, and assault with a melon. Role n was able to talk/pay his way out of serious trouble by paying a “fine”. Iago’s father was not in a position to pay but did so anyways, forever damaging his business which now struggles. Iago now resents Rolen for getting out of the situation with ease. Doesn’t think Rolen appreciates all he has and despises hearing him complain about “his lot in life” and that “his life has no meaning”. Especially hates when Rolen complains about his father keeping him from making something of himself.
Alfonzo - Half Elf Master Servant
Syl - Human Tailor

Wealth & Financial state
Rolen comes from an extremely wealthy family of traders and negotiators. Has a lot of influence in Scaling Falls as well as throughout Dolo.
Family Ties
Father, Biero- Disapproving of Rolen’s frivolous nature. Believes Rolen’s desire to be a master duelist is below their station. Wants him to help his brother with the trading/negotiating business or join a monastery or religious order.
Mother, Lia- Loving, wishes Rolen would settle down and make something of himself. Much less stern than his father.
Oldest Brother, Aust- Wants to please father. Seems like he was molded in his image. Smart and shrewd negotiator. Works hard. Has a wife and a few children.
Second Born Brother, Himo- Not very bright. Helps with the family business. Is a bit of a bully.
Third Born Sister, Dara- Sly, crafty, and independent. Wanted to make her way in the world and did it. Close to Rolen growing up. Rolen looked up to her. Maybe got a job in one of the holds or distant kingdoms as an advisor or something? Still corresponds with her but it’s become very infrequent as of late.
Fourth Born Brother, Immeral- Rolen’s friend and advocate growing up. Caring and protective. Joined some religious order. Always believed that Rolen would find his way.
