Roan was exactly as I remembered him from the game.
He was tall for an elf, taller than most humans, with a lean muscular build that spoke of years of combat training rather than the delicate grace that most of his kind preferred to display, and his crystal-tipped spear rested against his shoulder like an extension of his arm.
He had a lazy grin on his face and wasn't talking to anyone. He was just observing — watching the crowd with the calm, detached focus of a predator who had already sized up every potential threat in the room and found them wanting.
There was no arrogance in his posture, no swagger in his stance, just the quiet confidence of someone who had nothing to prove because he already knew exactly what he was capable of.
In the game, Roan Sol-Valis was known as the "False Protagonist" — a title given to him by fans who believed that if Arthur Vale hadn't been chosen by the Goddess, Roan would have been the hero instead.
