Background: Link

Personality:
Having spent the vast majority of his life as an assassin for the Geass Order, Rolo is as emotionally stunted as one would expect. He's aloof and blunt and matter-of-fact even about killing someone, and he has no reservations about doing it. Until he was tasked with playing the part of Lelouch's brother to keep an eye on him, Rolo cared for little beyond accomplishing his missions successfully.

In that role as Lelouch's brother, he adopted a mild, reserved persona. Others viewed him as sensitive or, less kindly, clinging to Lelouch because he had no friends of his own. This suited his purposes well, as it let him stick close to Lelouch to keep an eye on him, and leaned into Lelouch's preexisting manner as a doting big brother. However, the time Rolo spent undercover affected him significantly. It was his first real experience living a "normal" life, and his first taste of genuine love and affection. He got to be a human being for the first time, and he was being swayed by the experience even before Lelouch actively decided to take advantage of it. He subconsciously became very protective of the locket Lelouch gave him, killing someone for simply touching it, even while still acting as a spy and certain that he could kill Lelouch if needed. His affected personality slowly bled into his genuine nature until they were disconcertingly mixed, a point where he can express emotions like a normal person at times, but also smile while cutting down literal children he'd known for years.

Rolo isn't a very independent person, having gone right from living as a tool of the Geass Order to devoting himself to Lelouch. While he's used to making coldly rational calls within the context of missions, he's less accustomed to making decisions for his own sake. He's not used to genuinely trusting others, so when he does decide to trust Lelouch, he goes in with blinders on, all too willing to believe Lelouch's lies. He's clumsy with his exploration of feelings and interpersonal relationships, and it makes his more emotional decisions hasty and not always well thought out. He's quick to get jealous and possessive, anxious about being abandoned after devoting himself so wholeheartedly to his new "family". And he falls back on killing as a habit, the only way he's ever known to deal with obstacles. When the "obstacles" in question are other people that might steal Lelouch's attention, shit gets messy – and he has an easier time later justifying his actions as being somehow rational than he does just processing his emotions and desires in a normal way.

Rolo doesn't seem to consider things in terms of morality at all. He demonstrates no guilt about all the killing he's done, only a restraint born from his desperate need to please Lelouch, and he struggles with empathizing with others, even someone he's obsessively attached to. With all this combined, he can kill without hesitation – or consideration of the potential consequences of killing people Lelouch cares about. It's only when Lelouch lets the mask slip, when he openly expresses hatred and the intent to use and throw him away, the Rolo seems to really self-reflect at all. Even then, his decision to sacrifice himself to save Lelouch doesn't come from any need to redeem himself, but rather from the desire to do something of his own free will. While his final words are an insistence that Lelouch had been lying, his previous monologue reveals that he's not so deluded as to truly believe that. He accepts that Lelouch had been using him just as the Geass Order had, but decides that his own feelings born of the time they spent together were real. Ultimately, the freedom and the new life Lelouch had given him – even if all the affection and promises of a future were lies – still meant more to him than the betrayal could shake.

Abilities:
- Rolo's Geass, which allows him to temporarily suspend a person's perception of time. While there doesn't seem to be any concrete upper limit on how often he can use it, how wide the range can be, or for how long, his own heart also stops when he uses it and the strain appears more intense with more drastic uses of his Geass. Frequent large-scale uses can be deadly, so he's generally limited to smaller range short bursts.
- Proficiency with many types of weaponry, but he most often uses firearms and knives.
- Giant robot piloting skills?? Probably won't come into play here.

Inventory:
- A switchblade
- His cellphone
- A music box locket cellphone charm
