Rowen retires and becomes the butler to the Sharil family and joins the party in "Tales of Xillia" to stop Nachtigal's corrupt reign. By the events of "Tales of Xillia 2", Rowen has since become prime minister of Rieze Maxia alongside Gaius. Designed by Mutsumi Inomata, Rowen's role was conceived to be a mentor to the party.
