Roman Sheer

“*I prom-no, I* swear, *I’ll be here tomorrow*.”

— Roman to Ten in Chapter 77: End of Part (Gallows Humor)

Roman Sheer is an intern at
the Mausoleum. He is Ten’s childhood friend, although he does not remember their
shared past.

## Biography

Roman was described as an
average student and as someone who was willing to be friends with anyone. When Roman was a child, he befriended Ten. They would spend much of their
time together, despite how much Roman’s dad would disagree with it.

One of Roman’s happiest
memories is when he played a baseball game with his friends and managed to
struck a kid out. That same day, his mother was coming home from the hospital,
and he would spend his time with both his parents.

 Roman is a high school
graduate who never applied for college. He worked as a cashier at a
chain-grocery store. One day, when he was at a café, Roman saw a flyer for work
at the Mausoleum and chased after it after only seeing the letter M. He decided
to try out the internship because it involved a subject he had always been
interest in.

## Appearance

Roman is a young man of
above average height with tousled brown hair and blue eyes. He wears black glasses.
While in the Mausoleum, he wears his grey intern uniform.

Roman mentions that his
stomach is “too soft,” and that he needs to work out more, which implies that
Roman is out of shape.

## Personality

Roman is a noticeably
nervous individual. His nervousness, clumsiness, and stutter usually grows when
in the hostile and dangerous environment of the Mausoleum. Roman usually trips
over his words and goes on tangents.

Roman is also very
friendly. He progresses in his relationship with Ten and also becomes friends
with Seven.

Roman is shown to go off on tangents and come across as
insensitive at times, such as when he spoke of Haunts in front of Five, and when he wonders why he wasn’t being more sensitive about Seven’s death.

 According to One, Roman is a kind and merciful person.

 Out of habit, Roman will
make a list of everything wrong with a room he’s in.
