Roger is a calm and logical and people often take him for an engineer, he is however very much an outside-the-box thinker who sees violence, explosions, odd engineering and vehicles as the solution.
Medium height and rather skinny, black hair and brown eyes. Roger is a bit of a gear head and a nerd, he's not as tough as most fellow soldiers, although still strong. He does make up his shortcomings with speed and agility.
He was offered a scholarship for mechanical engineering at Cambridge, but instead joined the army as it would be a lot more likely to let him “blow s$+% up” and “travel at supersonic speed”. He served with distinction for many years in the Middle East. During his time there he helped out and befriended Lema, a teenage girl whose family had been killed, and taught her some basic engineering so she could help him out. After becoming good friends Lema proved herself a valuable and devoted friend through her cunning and fearlessness. Through a clever scheme involving a shelf-company, a working visa and a marriage to a gay friend Roger got her an English citizenship. After she joined the army she soon found herself working for Roger again.
During a mission that should have been a failure Roger and Lema managed to turn the plane Roger was flying into supersonic semi-guided bomb before parachuting out of there. Soon after he was recruited to Project: Gatekeeper.
