Roland is a dick. He’s the evil brother from Man In The Iron Mask, only with magical powers.
I think you meant “the only one who stood in his way” there at the end. Other than that, fantastic as usual.

Oh wow. I really didn’t expect Roland to be so power hungry and violent. I guess I sort of assumed Gabrielle was playing Jacques. Oh boy. This just got even more interesting. And I didn’t believe that was possible.
