Background
He was born to a family that was neither poor nor well to do. His parents loved him immensely, and desired that he should have the best education they could afford. They sacrificed, and got him into a very high class school. He was immediately an outcast. This unacceptance drove him to hate the rich. He constantly sought ways to bring them down. Rollan Briscolletti realized his potential and worked to drive his manipulator to his camp. Ronch is eventually lead to discover that Fyuin Ashera was pulling the strings that were keeping him ostracized. He joined with several other like minded individuals and attempted to ambush him, perhaps even kill him. The teachers heard of his plans and headed him off, but Rollan, who had bribed a teacher to inform him of things like this, outmaneuvered THEM and told Ronch of the teachers.

Ronch eventually began working for him, while dominating everything he could get his hands on. He was confident that Rollan would cover for him, and he would make it most profitable for Rollan to keep him in his employ. When they graduated, he was 'surprised' by the sudden death of Rollan's father. He reminded Rollan who his friends were, and was suitably rewarded, becoming Rollan's right hand man.
