History[]
She alongside her team all hail from outside of Atlas. They traveled to the Kingdom and are involved in a secret mission given to them by James Ironwood's predecessors to protect the ruins of the abandoned Atlas Military facility Fort Arrowfell and the technology developed there.
Roane and her team arrived to defeat a Megoliath in Essen. After that, they leave town when Bram Thornmane angrily told them to get out.
After the encounter, Thornmane lied to Roane and the rest of Team BRIR that Team RWBY were the ones who stole the orbs from Fort Arrowfell. After believing the lie, Roane and her Team attempted to dispose of Team RWBY after they fell for a trap laid by Olive Harper before being defeated by the team and promising that they would meet again.
Once Team RWBY reach Roane in the "Crystal Nexus" underneath Mantle however, Roane and the rest of her Team realized that Thornmane had lied to them and assist Team RWBY getting access to Fort Arrowfell by giving them her Nexus key.
