Roland the Envoy is a negotiator, a trader of secrets and information; his sister was the wandering warrior type. Both joined the Guild in Tamalir, though he was two weeks later in registering because of an incident with a nobleman's daughter. When the call came through for adventurers to go to Trast, his sister was sent ahead. When the second call came, he knew his sister was in trouble and managed to negotiate his being sent instead of anyone else.
