"We have just the glorious dead—and the soon-to-be glorious dead. I'm one of the latter."
―Rohlan Dyre[src]

Rohlan Dyre, nicknamed "Rohlan the Questioner", was a former Mandalorian Crusaders commander who fought in many battles of the early Mandalorian Wars but deserted them to find answers pertaining to the war itself. He teamed up with Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick to rescue Zayne's friend Jarael from Flashpoint, and in the process unwillingly had his identity switched with Demagol, a deranged Mandalorian scientist. Rohlan, under the guise of Demagol, was taken to Coruscant where he remained in a drug-induced coma for some time. When Rohlan awoke, he was tried for the war crimes that Demagol had committed. Zayne realized the truth and rescued Rohlan with the help of Marn Hierogryph. The pair then asked Rohlan for help in rescuing Jarael from Demagol.

[edit] The Questioner

"The Fight is everything and I am good at everything."
―Rohlan Dyre[src]

An aged Mandalorian Crusader veteran,[1] Rohlan began to question the tactics of the Mandalorians and the motives behind the war. When Rohlan confronted his superiors with his concerns, he did not receive a satisfactory answer, so the next time he was called up, he did not answer.[2] Dyre was found, and as punishment for his desertion, he was placed at the front lines of the war. Rohlan continued to refuse to fight, and he was caught and placed at the front lines five times.[2] His last mission was as Commander of the Shocktrooper forces during the Battle of Vanquo. After his troops captured Jarael, believing her to be a Jedi, he personally hijacked the Last Resort in an attempt at escape.[3]

However, an enraged Camper stunned Rohlan, making it easy for Zayne Carrick to incapacitate him, sealing him in a cargo container. When Rohlan overheard his captors mention that they were headed into Mandalorian space, he offered his help as a guide and so explained his situation and where they were going: Flashpoint Station, where Jarael and a number of real Jedi were being held.[2]

[edit] Mission to Flashpoint

Rohlan brought Zayne to Flashpoint Station as a prisoner. When they arrived, Demagol, a mad Mandalorian scientist bent on discovering what made the Jedi able to use The Force, was just about to conduct experiments on Jarael. Rohlan, however, demanded that Zayne be the next "experiment." Demagol complied, and Rohlan was able to overpower the scientist. Demagol was locked inside a storage closet, and Zayne took his armor. Rohlan and Zayne left the facility and Zayne, with the aid of the Force, secretly placed charges on key structural points. When Marn Hierogryph disguised as a Republic Admiral of the "Glomkettle", arrived, Carrick set off the charges, forcing the Mandalorians to evacuate. Rohlan ordered the Mandalorians to tell Mandalore that he perished with the facility in an attempt to "rescue" Demagol.[4] Rohlan then went back into the facility to retrieve Demagol. However, the Mandalorian scientist had regained consciousness and managed to drug and switch armors with Rohlan.

After the Mandalorians had left, Demagol, now masquerading as Rohlan, pretended to take his leave with the freed Jedi, but sneaked off the vessel at the last second and stowed aboard the Last Resort as it left the station, desiring to stay close to Jarael. After the Mandalorians had escaped (due to their belief that the Republic was attacking), Rohlan, who was now believed to be Demagol, was taken back to Coruscant by the formerly captured Jedi.[5] However, en route to Coruscant, he fell into a drug induced coma and could not be awakened for trial.[6]

Rohlan Dyre

[edit] A stolen identity

On Coruscant, "Demagol" was looked over by a nurse when he finally awakened. Rohlan began muttering about the search for the Jedi at Flashpoint. Surprised, the nurse called the guards to report this news to the Ministry of Defense immediately.[7]

Alek Squinquargesimus, now known to the galaxy as Malak, brought "Demagol" to the Ministry of Defense for trial. He wanted to make sure that the sadistic scientist was made an example to the law.[8]

However, the trial got out of hand and security guards rushed Rohlan out of the building. After getting him onto a ship, the guards revealed themselves as Zayne and Gryph. The pair had realized the identity-switch and needed Rohlan's help in rescuing Jarael from Demagol.[8]

[edit] Behind the scenes

According to John Jackson Miller, the name Rohlan "is partially inspired by the similarly sounding name of another warrior, the paladin of Charlemagne."[9]
