Though his family bore a great name, the Arryns of Gulltown were looked down upon by those that sat upon their high seat in the Eyrie. The young boy grew quickly, but he was on the skinny side and tended to run off. Often he would be found by his father's men, having snuck down to the docks, often playing with the children of merchants, fishmongers and fisherman alike. Although Roland was his father's second son, the older Arryn thought the boy would be of little use when compared to his elder brother Gavin, who was sixteen years Roland's senior. So when Roland was but eight he was sent to the Citadel to begin his training to become a maester. Roland had a hard first year or two at the Citadel, looked down upon by many for not being a real Arryn. But soon he began to prove himself in the classroom, having a keen grasp of history, geography and herbalism. But his training was not only relegated to academia. In the sparing rings he proved to be well suited to the studies of war. It was the study of warcraft that lead him to travel with an older maester to Essos to aid him in his research. Roland received a message by raven when he was twenty two, informing him that his older brother, Gavin, had been lost at sea and that he was to return home to Gulltown at once. After years of studying at the Citadel and places further afield, he was finally to go home. Arriving back in Gulltown, Roland found his family's affairs in a sorry state. His father and brother had not done well managing the funds and business. So the young man set himself to the task, working around his father as best he could to get things done. It took years, but eventually he was able to get his family's books into a good state. At twenty five Roland was a well respected merchant in Gulltown and had built his family's merchant fleet up to include four cogs and two carracks, a rather respectable fleet. Roland has also taken part in a number of tournaments over the years. Though he has never been good at the joust he has proven to be quite skilled with other arms, often proving himself in the melee time and again. Property
