Rojer

Rojer is a fictional character appearing in the science fiction novel "Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card, the sequel to "Ender's Game". He is a human male who, as a young child, was discovered to have been raised by the pequeninos, a sentient alien species on the planet Lusitania. This unique upbringing has profoundly shaped his identity and abilities.

Due to his immersion in pequenino culture, Rojer possesses an intimate understanding of their language, customs, and social structures. He is particularly adept at communicating with them and often acts as an intermediary between the human colonists and the pequeninos. His physical appearance and mannerisms have also been influenced by his time with the aliens, making him somewhat alien in his own right to other humans.

Rojer plays a significant role in the narrative as the Speaker for the Dead, Elias, investigates the death of a human xenologer among the pequeninos. Rojer's unique perspective is crucial in uncovering the truth behind the events. His character explores themes of identity, cultural assimilation, and the complexities of interspecies relationships. He represents a bridge between two vastly different worlds, embodying both human and pequenino influences.
