Roland (Roland's Legacy)

"My master believed salvation knows no bounds. I was a soul to be saved, so he saved me. That is why I proudly bear his name. The name of a great man."

- Roland's apprentice

Roland was a name borne by a Crusader.

Biography
Roland met the man who would be his apprentice in Kalden, rescuing him from the fighting pits.

The apprentice was an obstinate one&mdash;it was such obstinance that, in the apprentice's mind, caused Roland's death. As per Crusader tradition the apprentice took up his master's namesake, later reflecting on him fondly in a memoir.

A Crusader named Roland (although not clear which of them) traveled with Inhora, Drakon and Haull, sharing knowledge and wine.

In-game
Roland provides the namesake of the Roland's Legacy item set in Diablo III.
