Steven Deschain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stephen Deschain is the father of Roland Deschain, the main protaganist in Stephen King's The Dark Tower book series. He appeared in flashbacks in several of the books, briefly in The Gunslinger (named as Roland the elder in the original publication), but more so in Wizard and Glass in the large flashback section which consists of most of the middle of the book, when Roland tells the story of his origins to Eddie Dean, Susannah Dean, Jake Chambers and Oy of Mid-World. His guns were later passed on to Roland after his death. It was Steven who sent Roland and his original ka-tet east.
Steven also appeared in The Gunslinger Born comicbooks miniseries, published by Marvel Comics. He may also appear in The Dark Tower: The Long Road Home.
