Nolan Rosc is a human survivor of the Gelt invasion of Gilead and an early member of the separatist movement opposing Gelt rule. During the fragile early days of Hanar’s rebuilding, Rosc shot Tishla with a bullet unknowingly laced with poison. He was also unaware that she was pregnant at the time—a wound that ultimately led to the death of her son, Kai-ban.
Rather than executing Rosc, Tishla chose a different path. She investigated the suppliers of the weapon and poison, reserving true justice for those responsible. Rosc himself was exiled to Ramcat, a Laputan Guardianship colony, tasked with recruiting settlers to help rebuild Hanar. Over several months, as Hanar stabilized and after figures like Suicide arrived to bolster planetary defense, Rosc returned—still carrying the guilt of his actions. He later wrote to Tishla to voice his deep remorse.
Recognizing both his sincerity and his credibility among separatists, Tishla appointed Rosc as her primary liaison to the Gilead Autonomous District, where he worked to maintain peace between separatists and the planetary government.
