Roan

Roan's History

Roan was the longest active cleaner for Division. He served as Percy's right-hand man and never questioned him, having worked with him for at least ten years. He was presumably the best-trained and longest active Division agent before his death.

Roan displays antisocial characteristics: an apathetic disregard for human rights, a general lack of people whom he cares about, a misunderstanding of human emotion, and inability to show consideration or empathy for others. These aspects are what make him a perfect fit for his assignment as a cleaner.

Two examples of this sort of behavior are when he shoots Gary in the middle of Michael's interrogation, mistakenly linking Michael's agitation to the mess he created, and when he watches Alex throw up in the sink in response to having just witnessed Roan inject a muscle relaxant directly into Jaden's throat, a response to which Roan expresses confusion at--likely unable to deduce why anyone would have such a disgusted reaction to something that is not particularly messy.

Another notable instance of Roan's behavior is when Percy sardonically suggests that Nikita died of a broken heart, but Roan either ignores the comment or misses it entirely, responding that "(hemorrhagic) shock is more likely, but that cardiac arrest may have been a factor." This could either suggest that Roan does not pick up as well on jokes and assumed that Percy actually meant cardiac arrest or that Roan is so technical about his work that he decided not to entertain Percy.

The only time he ever displays sympathy for another person is when he had just found out that Percy had died, but even this reaction is ultimately short-lived, as he refused to allow his grief to hinder his mission or in his fight against Alex and Sean. However, the resulting anger from his grief may have led him to cause more pain to Alex than necessary as revenge for Percy's death--breaking her arm, hitting her an excessive amount of times, biding his time until Sean arrives. His grief may also be the reason he accidentally electrocuted himself.
