Roland Durand

Roland Durand was a Devaronian male criminal and the son of the crime boss Isa Durand. Durand was a former client of the information broker Ciddarin Scaleback, whom he paid to deliver the lizard Ruby to him.
==Biography==
Durand attempted to work with the Pyke Syndicate and forcefully took over Cid's Parlor on Ord Mantell due to the planet's connection to multiple hyperspace routes useful to the Pyke Syndicate. Scaleback and her employees, the clone mercenary unit known as the Bad Batch attempted a heist to steal the spice that Durand was set to sell to the Pykes, in order to disrupt his deal and remove him from power. Durand learned that the spice had been stolen, he and his men tried to reobtain the spice, a battle ensued causing the spice to be lost. Later he informed the Pykes, who forced Scaleback and the Bad Batch to retrieve the lost spice.
Durand was held by the Pykes, as well as one member of the Bad Batch, Omega, who was used as their hostage until the Bad Batch retrieved the spice. While being held, Durand told Omega that Ruby did not like many people when his pet snuggled up to her. After the spice was returned safely, Omega and Scaleback convinced the Pykes to allow Durand to live since they were told by the Trandoshan that if Durand died, the Pyke Syndicate would ignite a war with his mother crime boss Isa Durand and knew how dangerous that would be since they just came out of hiding, but they cut off one of his horns as punishment. Durand departed, leaving the parlor back in Cid's hands.
Later, Bad Batchers Hunter and Wrecker made a deal with Durand and his mother. In exchange for the Pyke who cut off his horn, Roland gave the clones information on Imperial scientist Doctor Hemlock's base of operations so they could rescue Omega, whom Hemlock had captured, wishing them luck in their mission.
