Roland Deschain is the protagonist and hero of The Dark Tower Series. He is the son of Steven and Gabrielle Deschain and is the last of a long line of "gunslingers", peacekeepers and diplomats of Roland's society. He is also the final human descendant of Arthur Eld. His image and personality are largely inspired by the "Man with No Name" from three of Sergio Leone's westerns, though his quest and many of his personal and internal conflicts are drawn from Robert Browning's poem Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came.
Roland is also very old, and stated to be immortal (he is approximately 336 or 337 years old at the end of his quest).
To be played by Idris Elba in the feature film The Dark Tower.
Measures 3 3/4 inches in height.
