Sgt. Roland Thompson is the leader of the First Team #17 and has a rivalry with Samuel Haight.
Biography[]
Roland Thompson spent the majority of his life moving around the world from one military base to another. His father was a career soldier and his mother kept busy with half a dozen hobbies. By fourteen he had become a perpetual problem child, joining in fights and bullying the younger children. When the Allred Military Academy offered to take the problem child in and teach him the error of his ways, his parents readily agreed.
Thompson was trained by the best teachers money can buy to be a killing machine. The Allred Academy is a division of Pentex that specializes in teaching the art of killing to children that want to learn and, at the same time, teaches them how to appear perfectly sane to the people they meet. On the few occasions when Thompson came home to visit his parents, they were stunned by the changes. He had gone from being a disorganized, emotional mess to being a disciplined, clean-cut and seemingly loving child. The day after his graduation from the academy, Roland Thompson sabotaged the car his parents had rented and waited to collect his inheritance. He has worked for Pentex ever since and quickly became an efficient First Team leader.
Appearance[]
Roland is a perfect straight man: he looks slightly stupid and slack-faced, and he carries himself with an appalling lack of bearing. In truth, he slumps slightly because he is always very relaxed, a state of mind and body that works best when performing the martial arts. He does not appear threatening.
