Roden was a male human gifted with the Force, who dedicated himself to the Sith cause during an era subsequent to the collapse of the Jedi Order. He was among a group of Sith apprentices who masqueraded as Jedi without a master, having been called to the Aerial Temple situated on Hy Izlan by Margrave Juro. Juro's intention was to equip the Jedi with lightsabers and facilitate the Jedi Order's resurgence. Roden, along with his fellow Sith, aimed to thwart Juro's scheme, but tragically, all of them perished in the resulting conflict. Notably, Roden wielded red Force lightning.
The character of Roden was featured in "The Ninth Jedi," a short film from Star Wars: Visions released in 2021. Kazuya Nakai provided his Japanese voice, while Greg Chun voiced him in the English version.
