Challenges
Disliked and Shunned by Peers {To others, he's just some wannabe loony dictator.}
Deadly Enemies: Cody Travers, Guy, and Mike Haggar {Even though he has tried to turn a new leaf by driving his utopian dream forward, with the individual freedom and protection of its people in mind, it is still not enough to convince the 3 saviors of Metro City that he is no longer a villain.}
Deadly Enemies: Shadaloo {Bison, if he ever returns, will more than likely gun for Rolento as well as other World Warriors he has crossed paths with. The fact that he wants to be a ruthless, heartless dictator conflicts with his goal of utopian peace.}
Haunted Past {He is a veteran of several wars, Vietnam being his most influential example. Not to mention the nastiness he had to commit while under Belger's command.}
Major Psychological Restriction: Refusal to Use Mind Control {While he is not opposed to campaigning and some propaganda, he is totally against the idea of brainwashing or robbing others of personal will.}
Criminal Record {His participation in Mad Gear has not gone unnoticed with international law enforcement, as he is still a wanted man for all intents and purposes. He has not been formally convicted yet}
Prying Relatives, Friends, Associates: Sodom {The kooky occidental japanophile and ex-partner during the Mad Gear era will want to annoyingly know what he's up to, and even though he's just as committed to changing the world as Rolento himself is, he'd prefer to go back to Mad Gear's glory days and revive the vile gang. Of course, the German-American insurgent is more than happy to beat him senselessly until he sees the good in a utopia...not in a syndicate.}
Psychological: Peace Through War {He believes peace can be created through his utopia and military-style structure, and as long as the people prosper under his regime, then he must do what he feels is necessary. After all, leaders always have to make tough decisions.}
Psychological: Strict {This is an understatement. If you are not worthy of his attention, you will be cast aside. If you make a mockery of himself or yourself, he will treat you like garbage and whip you into shape...or humiliate you...or imprison you...or kill you without a second thought.}
Compulsion to Stick Up for Underdog {As demonstrated by his rejection of using the powerful doomsday weapon, the Psycho Drive, to have the world on the palm of his hand...Rolento prefers to win people over in the fair crucible of wartime. His jingoistic, almost-cruel militant lifestyle belies a genuine desire to unite the world under one flag, putting and end to sociopolitical and economic calamities.}
Nonhuman Appearance {Probably due to the damage that he's suffered over the years, physical or otherwise, his eyes do not show pupils at all...which can creep out the observant types. All the better to psych out his targets with.}

Biography
A German-American mercenary, Rolento formerly served the American special forces unit the Red Berets before joining Mad Gear as sub-leader, managing the gang's secret drug plant located at Metro City's Industrial Area in the original Final Fight. After the downfall of the gang, he decided to create a Utopian nation of elite soldiers, hoping to recruit both former allies (Sodom) and adversaries (Guy and Cody), to his cause. Reappears in SF 4 trying to defeat Seth and take his technology for his army.
Rolento is known for fighting with a baton, and his special techniques include a wall kick and his throw. When the timing's right, he relies on throwing grenades instead. His fighting style shares similarities to (and is probably inspired by) Eskrima, a Filipino Martial Art under the Arnis system. His stick fighting lends him range and multiple hitting attacks.
Rolento can be described as a somewhat "twisted", but not truly evil, patriot who consistently bases his entire life, dialogues and behaviors in the "strict military veteran" stereotype with a rather fanatical zeal. He is often heard praising absolute order and discipline and despising any rebellious or "inadequate" behavior. Having fought in countless wars, particularly the Vietnam War, Rolento is an expert in guerrilla tactics, psychological warfare, and weaponry such as knives and grenades, making him a dangerous ace-on-sleeve opponent.
His greatest dream is to build a utopia-style military nation, with himself as its supreme ruler, though the people would be happy, live their plain lives and have freedom to carve their own fates. Any form of violation against the people's rights would be ignoble in his world view; in the Alpha series, Rolento plots to overthrow the diabolical M. Bison and make his dream come true, thus refusing to contemplate the possibility of brainwashing his would-be citizens - such is the main reason why he completely scoffs usage of the Shadaloo machine known as the Psycho Drive. As twisted as he is, his acknowledgement of free will is, perhaps, his most redeeming quality. Rolento is also more than willing to recruit anyone he can - even former enemies or Mad Gear criminals - to this end.
