Quotes[]

Rogan is a wise and plotting one character and his actions are essential in the game. In the scenario 2, even being held with his life in danger, he still take the responsibility to draw a fake letter instead of the king, sensing the war is more important than his own life and knows that the king is going too far.

Even by being loyal to the empire and his king, Rogan finally changes his mind, revealing himself to be smart and better plotter than Domaric himself, making domaric anger goes farer than any other time in the game.

Trivia[]

While Rogan never makes an appearance in Scenario 3, and only gets a few mentions, he can be unlocked as a playable character in Scenario 3 and the Premium Disc with the use of an Action Replay or by manually editing the games' save files.

His character has no Sprite defined in the game's code, so he will appear on the map as being invisible, but still casting a shadow (this happens in both Scenario 3 and the Premium Disc). His battle animations work correctly, although he uses the same animations for both of his classes. Interestingly, his NPC counter-part can be added to your force instead of your Dragons, and his Sprite displays correctly.

His character slot is positioned between Kate and Edmund, which suggests he was meant to join as a playable character early on, however due to the events of Chapter 6 of Scenario 2, it would be impossible for him to join Julians Force before Chapter 5, but due to changes in scenario, the syncronicity system could occur as planned and was so cut off, but was indeed mean to be playable to join julian's forces at Aspia.

Since Produn and Edmund are from the republic and must be chosen from one to another and both do magic, and so Spiriel and Rogan are from the Empire and both do not have magic, one can imagine that they also must be chosen from one or another, but once again, synchronicity system could not allow that and it create an impossibility (unless a choosing question was made).

Interrestingly, in the code using an action replay, an hidden scene allowing the player to have both Edmund and Produn exists, so the same could be possible for Rogan and Spiriel.

Rogan would likely joins Julian's army because of his betrayal to the king, by doing so, being unable to be an Empirial general anymore.
