History
Roderick lived with his little brother Eric, their family purchased a Keidran slave called Kathrin when Eric was still a young boy and she lived with them up until Roderick gained ownership of her. It is not known at what point Roderick joined the Templar but it was around this point that he left possession of Kathrin to his little brother to presumably focus on his job. Eric had always shown Kathrin a lot more kindness than Roderick ever did and although he still had to keep her as a slave by law he gave her a lot more freedom.

Though the events are only shown in the non-canon Side Sketches, it is known that some point after joining the Templar Roderick came to visit Eric at one point and ended up hitting one of Eric's other new slaves, Mike, leaving a scar under the Keidran's left eye.

Chapter 9
Roderick is first introduced after Eric made a deal to transport Trace, Flora, Keith and Natani. While bullying his old slave Kathrin, who is now is owned by Eric, Roderick asks him if he has seen Trace. Eric lies and says that he hasn't. Roderick believes him, but just when he's about to leave Kathrin stands up to him. Roderick notes that Kathrin isn't under the control spell that is supposed to be on the slaves, and warns his brother it could warrant severe punishment against Eric. Despite this he does compliment Kathrin for her courage in standing up to him when he talks down to Eric about it.

Magic
Although none of these powers are shown, being a member of the Templar suggests Roderick is able to use at least some forms of magic.

Eric Vaughan
Roderick seems to look down on Eric, bossing his slave around despite his objections and remarking that Eric doesn't keep his slaves under a control spell which is illegal. He doesn't seem to dislike his brother however it is clear he doesn't really respect him much. It is unclear if Roderick knows the full extent of Eric's preferences towards Kerdrian but the way he talks to Eric about not using control spells could be his way of hinting he does.

Kathrin Vaughan
Roderick has very little respect for cat during their first interaction, teasing her by calling her "Spots" like he used to when he was her owner. He orders cat around and spills the drink that she brought him on the floor after complaining it was too warm. As he is preparing to leave Eric's house however, Kat stands up to him by refusing an order, just before he leaves he remarks she has a lot of courage for doing so.
