According to Henrietta, Roderick is quite calculating, and superficially resembles Shiroe; however, she notes that he lacks Shiroe's boldness, which creates a world of difference between them. His speech and manner reflect his educated background and he is quite knowledgeable on many subjects, allowing him to research the new world. He is polite, though when speaking to his guild members, he can take on a commanding tone. When chatting with friends, he is pleasant.

Roderick in the anime

Under the misconception that he was taking part in a new legendary-class quest, Roderick agrees to support Shiroe's plan by cooperating with Marine Organization and Shopping District 8 in donating a combined total of 4.5 million gold. Later on, the truth about the gold's use is discovered, and he receives instructions for making food taste real as well as Crescent Moon Alliance's recipes instead.

After studying these instructions, his guild and the other two major crafting guilds, Marine Organization and Shopping District 8, were able to apply these food-making concepts to other crafting subclass skills. Eventually, they succeeded in creating a prototype steam engine. Because of the knowledge provided by Shiroe, he agrees to the creation of the Round Table Alliance, as it will stimulate Akiba's economy and result in great profit.
