Who killed Roland Borderlands?

Just as Roland and the players are about to free Angel from Jack’s prison, Jack appears behind them and kills Roland in cold blood. Roland himself dies, not from a wound inflicted by the enemy, but rather from the force of blowing the olifant, which causes his temple to burst (ll. 1764, 1786). This is not a suicidal act but a manifestation of the hero’s strength, which is prodigious to the point of causing him mortal injury.

Unlike most deaths in the Borderlands franchise, Roland’s death isn’t executed humorously. The scene is devoid of music and filled with grief. Lilith, Roland’s friend and former girlfriend, cries over his dead body and attempts to attack Jack, who counters by affixing an inhibitor collar on her.

Afterward, Brick, Mordecai, and the other characters all express sorrow over their friend’s death and can be seen coping with it in different ways.
