Roams's life spanned an indeterminate but long time, living in the [[Montero Cave System]] of Gao neighboring [[Forerunner]] ruins of a [[Line installation]] as part of [[Covert Support Base 4276]]'s complement of Huragok.

The Huragok began exploring previous inaccessible regions of the caves and encountered human colonists of Gao.

When the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] launched a joint investigation of the murders, Roams Alone was encountered by Major [[Ira Halal]] and Private [[Hayes]], during which he attempted to greet them but was wounded by the humans' misguided attempts to defend themselves.{{Ref/Reuse|llchapt3}} Roams's blood was later discovered by the investigation team of [[Veta Lopis]], [[Cirilo]], and several Spartans, and the trail led them to follow Roams and Intrepid further through the caves.{{Ref/Novel|Id=llchapt7|HLL|Chapter=7}} Intrepid Eye attempted to kill the human group with her [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, but the Spartans fended off the attack, though with [[Olivia-G291]] badly injured. After the battle, Roams approached them curiously and began to heal Olivia's broken legs.{{Ref/Novel|Id=llchapt11|HLL|Chapter=11}} Subsequently the humans took custody of Roams and decided to return to the surface with him.{{Ref/Reuse|llchapt11}} | When the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] launched a joint investigation of the murders, Roams Alone was encountered by Major [[Ira Halal]] and Private [[Hayes]], during which he attempted to greet them but was wounded by the humans' misguided attempts to defend themselves.{{Ref/Reuse|llchapt3}} Roams's blood was later discovered by the investigation team of [[Veta Lopis]], [[Cirilo]], and several Spartans, and the trail led them to follow Roams and Intrepid further through the caves.{{Ref/Novel|Id=llchapt7|HLL|Chapter=7}} Intrepid Eye attempted to kill the human group with her [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, but the Spartans fended off the attack, though with [[Olivia-G291]] badly injured.

As the team made their way back, they were engaged by Intrepid Eye, now housed in an [[inspection drone]]. Intrepid, hoping to hack into [[Frederic-104]]'s armor, communicated with Roams Alone in an attempt to get him away from combat, but the Huragok was more concerned with continuing to tend to Olivia's injures.{{Ref/Novel|Id=llchapt15|HLL|Chapter=15}} Intrepid was subsequently subdued by Fred with a [[scramble grenade]], but the drone retained enough power to continue communicating to Roams. The humans were aware that Intrepid was speaking to Roams, but could not do anything about it due to not understanding Huragok sign language.{{Ref/Reuse|llchapt15}} | As the team made their way back, they were engaged by Intrepid Eye, now housed in an [[inspection drone]].
