{{image|Roshone portrait.jpg|side=left|width=150px}}
Roshone is middle-aged, with a short, grey-streaked beard and an angry expression. He has light yellow eyes that seem to blame everyone and everything for his banishment. He wears a sword and a [[takama]], but appears too old and flabby to be a true soldier, and his weight increases during his time in Hearthstone.{{book ref|sa1|25}}{{book ref|sa1|44}} He dresses out of fashion and wears a wooden foot on his right leg.{{book ref|sa3|6}} Though he cares about the outward appearance of his manor, he makes few alterations inside.{{book ref|sa1|37}}{{book ref|sa3|7}}
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Roshone doesn't have any outstanding ability or attribute other than being a lesser lighteye with some connections. When he lived in Kholinar, Roshone was one of Highprince [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]]' sworn liegemen and cousin to important men whose support the Kholin family needed for political reasons.{{book ref|sa2|62}} Since being exiled to Hearthstone, Roshone's
== History ==
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}}
===Occupation of Alethkar to Hearthstone Evacuation===
Under the rule of the [[singers]] and The [[Fused]], all lighteyes were made equal to darkeyes. Roshone was reduced to menial work and drinking. He and his wife Laral were part of [[Lirin]]'s mission to smuggle in The [[Dieno|Mink]], and Roshone provided the distraction on cue- engaging in drunken antics to distract the singer guards, who were particularly fond of watching a former brightlord who owned them or their likes reduced to a drunkard and a worker.{{book ref |sa4|1}}
== Relationships ==
=== Laral ===
{{image|Roshone and Laral by Marie Seeberger.jpg|side=right|width=250px|Roshone and [[Laral]]}}
When Roshone was been given authority over Hearthstone, including possession of the mansion and surrounding lands, Highprince Sadeas gave Laral a dowry in compensation. Because of this, Roshone saw the need of marrying her into her family.{{book ref|sa1|37}} She was originally engaged to his son, Rillir, but after his death in a hunting accident, this engagement was made to Roshone himself.{{book ref|sa1|44}}
[[Kaladin]] was deeply influenced by Roshone in many ways, including his negative views on lighteyes.{{book ref|sa1|4}} Kaladin's life changed after he met Roshone. His family was cornered to eating low cost food and were alienated from the townpeople.{{book ref|sa1|37}} As Roshone and Lirin's relationship worsen, so did Kaladin's life, ending in him going after Tien to Amaram's army.{{book ref|sa1|44}} Another collateral damage for Kaladin was losing [[Laral]], both as friend and as possible love interest. After Roshone's arrival, he decided she would be married into his family.{{book ref|sa1|37}}
Kaladin finally makes peace with Roshone after the Everstorm, when he returns to Hearthstone. Though he wants revenge and punches him at their reunion, Kaladin then puts Roshone's
