He is vindictive towards [[Kaladin]]'s family, and [[Dalinar Kholin]] considers him a petty man.{{book ref|sa2|62}} By the time of the [[True Desolation]], he seems to soften--perhaps because of guilt.{{book ref|sa3|6}}

 

== History ==

 

=== Citylord of Hearthstone ===

Roshone was shipped to Hearthstone as punishment for the deaths of Moash's grandparents in late {{Rosharan date|1166}}. He became the new citylord of the town, where the previous citylord, [[Wistiow]], had died.{{book ref|sa1|25}} From the very beginning, he suspected that [[Lirin]] stole spheres from Citylord Wistiow. He treated Lirin and his family badly, and, under threat of Roshone's bad graces, the rest of the townspeople followed suit.{{book ref|sa1|31}} Amid the social and financial pressure placed on Lirin, Roshone invited the man to dine in his manor one evening, in hopes of cutting a deal to recover the stolen spheres. Though there was a debate between Roshone and Lirin, it didn't bring him a satisfying result.{{book ref|sa1|37}}

 

Eventually Roshone and his son Rillir were both badly injured on a [[whitespine]] hunt. Lirin, Hearthstone's surgeon, saved Roshone's life but could not help Rillir.{{book ref|sa1|41}} After the loss of his son and leg, Roshone became a recluse and his dislike for Lirin grew. With no heir of his own, he made plans to marry the daughter of former Citylord Wistiow, Laral, himself. When [[Brightlord]] [[Amaram]], a distant cousin of Roshone, came through the town to recruit during the [[Weeping]] of {{Rosharan date|1168}}, Roshone took his revenge by deciding that [[Tien]] would join the army.{{book ref|sa1|44}}

 

In the years that followed Roshone married Laral, and his treatment of Lirin and [[Hesina]] softened. As the man aged, he gave way to Laral to manage most of the house and town's affairs.{{book ref|sa3|6}}{{book ref|sa3|7}}

 

=== After the Everstorm ===

Roshone's manor survived the [[Everstorm]] with minimal damage, and he sheltered the village in it. The parlor became a surgeon's triage room, with mats laid out on the floor bearing wounded.{{book ref|sa3|6}} When Kaladin arrived to their manor bearing a slave brand, Roshone's first instinct was to bully him, but after a punch to his face and a display of Kaladin's [[Shardblade]], he relented. The revelation that the True Desolation had arrived caused Roshone to sink further, and Kaladin was unable to encourage him before Laral took command of the situation and he retreated to his room.{{book ref|sa3|7}}

 

== Relationships ==

=== Lirin ===

{{quote

}}

Roshone and Lirin have had a complicated relationship since they met. When Lirin welcomed their new brightlord, Roshone's reply was to blame him for letting Wistiow die.{{book ref|sa1|25}} Their relationship worsened when he found that Lirin had a goblet full of spheres, claiming that it was a gift from Wistiow before his death. Roshone made it public that he believed Lirin had stolen them.{{book ref|sa1|31}} This changed the relationship between Lirin and the town, and the townspeople simply stopped their donations, all at a word from Roshone. Further pressure from Roshone to recover the spheres was unsuccessful, though Roshone believed that he would eventually win.{{book ref|sa1|31}}
