Roland (Earth-5125)

"What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

- - Roland to Sam Porter

Biography
Roland was born within the Matrix, where he lived in Chicago. He had a promising life, but by being born in a troubled and poor neighbor, many of his attempts to achieve higher education were failed, as he had to work to help his mother to get money. At one day, while working, Roland was mistaken for a criminal and arrested. He was eventually able to be proven innocent when the elderly man who was robbed declared he wasn't the culprit, and was allowed to return home.

At age 11, Roland was freed from the alternate dimension by a series of Carriers after he was stalked by Assassins and sent to Zion.
