Roland is a drum and is one of the Legato Knights protecting the kingdom of Legato. He wields a battle axe and fills the role of warrior in his party. He can be found in Mute Notes stressing out over doing a bad job as The Wharf Dog's bouncer. Talking to him after starting Windsor's quest will send him back to the Legato Courtyard.

When first encountered, Roland will turn out to actually just be an actor played by a Tootsoldier in costume. Grifting his Loose Thread will reveal his true form and change his attacks back to that of a simple Tootsoldier.
