R. Roland is a character in Doom 3. A maintanence worker in Mars City, he survives the shockwave that rips through the city during the demonic invasion, thus making him the first survivor that the Doomguy encountered. However, the event leaves him frightened. He helps Doomguy by dropping him a ladder so he can get out of Mars City Underground. He says to Doomguy that he isn't going anywhere, presumably because he is so scared. He tells the player that the safest place to stay was his current position (near the entrance to Mars City Underground) and that up ahead, everything has "...changed". He then tells the player to go ahead and bring back help; (which does not exist) however, at this point in the game, the player has been ordered by Sergeant Kelly to fall back to Marine HQ. His fate is unknown, but it's likely that the demons found and killed him.
