Roland Glenn was a criminal working with Michael Scofield on taking down the Company until he turned against them for money. He was murdered by the assassin Wyatt.
Biography
Background
Using a cell phone, Roland built an electronic data copier that could read any electronic information and send it back to his computer for him to copy. He originally used it to steal credit card numbers and other financial information, but was caught. Instead of serving time in prison, he made a deal to help Agent Don Self take down the Company.
Season 4
At first, Roland wasn't welcomed by the remaining Fox River Eight, Mahone, and Sara. However, he was useful to the group because of a device he created which could copy the Scylla cards quickly and covertly.
 Roland is dying |
He does not like to go out and get his hands dirty when stealing things, so when he must break into a building with Michael he is extremely nervous. He survives, thanks to Lincoln, and continues to help the team copy Scylla cards. Although he assisted the team in copying five of the six cards, he got his device taken away from him in Las Vegas and was consequentially not allowed to help with the team's efforts anymore. He decided to sell the location of Michael and Lincoln to Wyatt. Wyatt, however, had no intention of paying Roland for the information. Instead he ended up mortally shooting Roland after extracting the information by force. Roland dies in Michael's arms as he apologizes leaving Michael distraught.
