    Synopsis:

    Rolan is an apprentice wizard whose siblings were recently captured by cultists. He's stuck in a tavern in the middle of the cursed lands where they were taken, drinking heavily, blaming himself for their loss. When he sees the players, he turns his frustration onto them - he's only here because they convinced him to stay with the other tieflings who were captured in the first place.

    Rolan is in fact the only reason any of the tieflings are still alive, having protected them from the traitorous Zevlor, who planned to give them over to the cult. He doesn't feel like a hero though - he feels like a failure.

    How to trigger:

    Talk to the prodigy in Haven. Will also trigger if you talk to Ide/Umi when they are near him. Only occurs if the player has helped tieflings in Act 1 and convinced Rolan to escort them.
