Rolo Lamperouge

Rolo Lamperouge (ロロ.ランペルージ, Roro Ranperūji?) is a fictional character in the Sunrise anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2. He is voiced by Takahiro Mizushima.

Character outline Rolo is a trained assassin, having killed many powerful figures during his life. He has had his Geass powers from the age of six. His main assassination method is to use firearms at close range, but he is also known to utilize and handle other weaponry expertly, including knives and poison. It is unknown what his real name is, but he quite frequently employs the codename "Rolo Haliburton".[1] His real age and date of birth, though unknown even to the Secret Intelligence Service, is said to be 14 to 16 as of 2017.

While Rolo puts up a front of being very shy and withdrawn at school, this exterior hides a ruthless and detached killer who will do whatever it takes to complete his mission. While working with the Britannian Secret Intelligence Service, he is aloof and doesn't seem very interested. He often stays in the background and simply listens, and isn't afraid to be very blunt of their faults. In the third episode of R2, he kills a Britannian simply for hearing part of his coversation about Geass with Viletta. When Villeta questions how many he killed (indicating a large body count), he merely replies, "This is the best and fastest method, right?"

Despite his attitude towards the mission, he is devoted to Lelouch. Despite his urge to kill Zero, he never looks at him badly and immediately supports him. Lelouch's year without memories show him and Rolo quite happy, particularly when Lelouch gives him a heart-shaped locket as a birthday present, which he keeps attached to his cellphone. he even refuses to return it after Lelouch regains his memory. It is also clear that he has also been heavily affected by his time with Lelouch. Because of this, he was easily manipulated into believing that Lelouch cares for him after Lelouch pretends to have saved his life. Lelouch plans to throw him away after he makes good use of him.

Character history Rolo is introduced in the second season as Lelouch's younger brother. He is unsociable and reserved, unlike his older brother, a trait which does not gain him many friends at school. His most prized possession is a locket given to him by Lelouch on his birthday. Unbeknownst to Lelouch, this is actually a lie: Lelouch's life has been fabricated by the Emperor of Britannia, and Rolo is a spy keeping watch over him.

In the first episode the season, Lelouch is reunited with the Black Knights and C.C., who restores his memories. Knowing that his brother is a fake, he turns his attention to restoring order to the Black Knights under the guise of Zero. Rolo, piloting his Knightmare Frame, the Vincent, wipes out nearly all of the Burai units under Lelouch's command using his Geass. He nearly kills Lelouch, who is piloting a Sutherland, in as well, but Urabe's sacrifice and explosives placed by C.C. allow Lelouch and his Knights to escape to the Chinese Federation consulate. Rolo follows, and tries to use his Geass to bypass the guard in order to kill Zero. At that moment, however, Lelouch calls him. C.C. is disguised as Zero and is actually the one giving the speech, which makes Rolo believe Lelouch is not Zero after all. Lelouch later attempts to ambush Rolo and reveal who he is, only to have the situation reversed when Rolo uses his own Geass.

After learning of Rolo's past as an assassin, Lelouch convinces Rolo that he will bring him C.C. the following day. Using his Geass on one of Darlton's adopted sons, Lelouch commands him to open fire on Rolo with his sniper rifle-equipped Knightmare. Lelouch takes the bullet for Rolo, turning Rolo to his cause.

Lost Colors Rolo with his trademark knife, covered in bloodIn a video game for the PlayStation2 and PlayStation Portable, Code Geass: Lost Colors, Rolo is sighted on Kaminejima island together with V.V.

If the player decides to attack first with the protagonist Rai's Geass, Rolo uses his Geass power and kills Rai with a knife, resulting in a game over. If the player chooses not to use the Geass ability, Rai instead ends up throwing a grenade in an attempt to escape. It detonates while still in the air, far faster than he expects — possibly due to Rolo's Geass ability.

Abilities Rolo Lamperouge with his Geass activeRolo, like Lelouch, possesses the power of Geass. His manifests in his right eye and grants him the power to temporarily suspend the subjective experience of time for all individuals within a given sphere of influence — represented on-screen as a glowing orange bubble that expands from his body. Its range is determined at activation, and no upper limit has been set thus far. To those under its influence, time appears to jump ahead with no explanation, often creating the illusion of teleportation. Rolo's power cannot be stopped by physical obstacles or electronic equipment, nor does it require eye contact. It also works on the same person more than once. Despite long-term possession of the ability, Rolo does not seem to have the same constant-activation problem as Lelouch does.

Rolo purports that a weakness exists in his ability, but doesn't reveal it. The only possible weakness shown thus far is that it appears to be limited to short bursts. In the fourth episode, for example, Rolo has to use his Geass at least three times to close a large gap between himself and Lelouch, rather than moving the entire distance all at once. He implies a five-second limit in the sixth episode, counting to five on his fingers as a reminder to Lelouch of the time limit.

Rolo is also a trained assassin, having been raised as such since he was a child. According to his Secret Intelligence Service profile, he is quite skilled in firearms and other weaponry including explosives, poisons, knives, and much more. He is also a skilled pilot, using his Vincent Knightmare Frame in combination with his Geass to throw his opponents into confusion and shock.
