After the recent death of the Lokapala's former leader, a man named Greg, Roland took the helm of the organization. However, Roland struggled in his new role, and took to drinking as a means of coping with the loss of his best friend.[2] The organization began to flounder as Roland sank deeper into depression.
When the Embryon arrives, however, the Lokapala ally themselves with Serph and his companions to continue their fight against the Karma Society. They explain that people who are kidnapped by Karma Soldiers are taken to the Internment Facility, where they are processed into meat that the citizens of Karma City consume. Together, the two groups launch a successful raid on the facility and rescue a number of captives.
