Bologna Roni first appears in the manual for 5731 LEGO Island. He is the son of Mac and Sandy Roni, and he is the father of Pepper Roni. He is said to be the greatest explorer (or the best storyteller) that ever visited LEGO Island. It states he disappeared one day and left behind Pepper, who was adopted by Papa Brickolini and Mama Brickolini.

In the Game Boy Color version, he can be found on a small island in the Phanta Sea near Adventurers' Island. If Pepper brings him a shovel, he will dig up a trading card.
In the PC version, his picture can be found on the wall of Pepper's house.
== Behind the Scenes ==
=== LEGO Adventurers ===
In LEGO Adventurers, Pepper would have been on a quest to find his lost father in the City of OGEL, however he was known as Papa "Rootin-Tootin" Roni,https://archive.org/details/lego-dig-inhouse-preliminary-design_202202/page/n15/mode/2up conflating Bologna Roni with another one of Pepper's relatives.
=== LEGO Island 2 ===
Early documents for LEGO Island 2 suggest that the Old Fisherman is actually Pepper's father.A Look Back at Silicon Dreams' LEGO Work With Richard Hancock - BRICKOME In the final game, the Old Fisherman calls Pepper "Sonny" and Pepper calls the fisherman "Pops", likely a remnant of these early plans. Although Bologna Roni does appear near Adventurers' Island in the Game Boy Color version, this version does not feature the Old Fisherman.
=== Island Xtreme Stunts ===
In the original plans for LEGO Island 3https://archive.org/details/lego-island-3-design-document/ from before it was based on the Island Xtreme Stunts theme, Bologna Roni had set off on a journey to discover the treasures of Marco Polo fifteen years before the game, leaving Pepper behind.
